The Las Vegas Raiders are set to square off against the Minnesota Vikings today in their inaugural preseason game for the 2024-2025 NFL season. Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold will take the field as a starter, while Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce has not yet announced who will be starting for his team. Fans can tune in to see the preseason action unfold.
The game is scheduled for Saturday, August 10, 2024, at 4 p.m. ET (1 p.m. PT), and will be broadcasted on NFL Network. For those without cable, there are various streaming options available.
To watch the game without a cable subscription, one of the most affordable choices is to sign up for Sling TV. NFL Network is included with either the Orange or Blue tier subscription, and for a broader coverage of NFL games this fall, the Orange + Blue plan is recommended. Normally priced at $60 per month, Sling TV is currently offering a promotion that allows new subscribers to access the first month at only $30. The Blue plan, starting at $45 per month, also provides essential channels for watching major events.
Additionally, potential Sling TV users may want to add Paramount+ to their package, as Sling does not include CBS.
Another option for streaming is FuboTV, which specializes in sports and includes channels for almost every NFL game. The service offers a seven-day free trial, allowing immediate access without a cable commitment. FuboTV’s Pro tier incorporates more than 180 channels, including NFL Network, and provides extensive DVR storage.
Hulu + Live TV is also available for streaming the NFL, bundling 90 channels including ESPN, Fox, and FS1, along with unlimited DVR. Subscriptions begin after a free trial and are priced at $77 per month.
Finally, NFL+ offers access to all NFL preseason games, including out-of-market matchups, with subscriptions starting at $40 per year or $7 monthly. NFL+ Premium adds additional features such as NFL RedZone, enabling fans to watch multiple games simultaneously.
