Jets Packers Preseason Free Viewing Options

The Jets travel to Lambeau Field for a preseason opener scheduled for August 9 at 8 p.m. ET. New Jets coach Aaron Glenn will see his first NFL head coaching action and is planning to play most of the starters, including new quarterback Justin Fields who arrives from the Pittsburgh Steelers according to the report. The Packers will also field their starters to give fans a first look at Jordan Love and rookie receiver Matthew Golden.

This game highlights how fans now mix broadcast and streaming to watch football. National coverage on NFL Network combined with a local option on WCBS means different viewing paths for fans in New York and beyond. For cord-cutters, streaming services with free trials offer a practical workaround, though prices and package limits can complicate longer seasons. The broader trend is clear: broadcasts are blending with promos and trials to keep audiences engaged without locking in costly cable packages.

Highlights

The way fans watch football is evolving, but the game itself remains the constant.
