How To Watch Dallas Cowboys Preseason Game |
Channel Surfing Showdown: The Classic Cable Cowboy
Let's face it, some folks like things old school. You might be a traditionalist who craves the warm glow of a giant TV and the delightful company of static if the cable goes out (hey, it builds character!). If that's you, then channel surfing is your game. Just remember, partner, these preseason games can be trickier than a greased pig to find.
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
Here's your lasso to wrangle those elusive channels:
- NFL Network: The promised land for preseason pigskin. Just make sure you have the channel in your cable package (don't say we didn't warn you!).
- Local Affiliates: Sometimes, these sneaky devils will snag a preseason game, especially if the Cowboys are playing a rival. Keep your eyes peeled on CBS, FOX, or NBC!
Word to the Wise: This option might require some pre-game recon. Check the listings or the Cowboys website to see where the game's landin'.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
Cutting the Cord Cowboy: Stream Your Way to Victory!
Maybe you're a modern maverick who ditched the cable bill. No worries, there's a streaming corral for you too! Here's where things get a little howdy-doody with all the different services:
- NFL+: The new sheriff in town! This app lets you lasso all the out-of-market preseason games, plus a bunch of other goodies.
- Paramount+ Essential: Givin' you access to live CBS games, which might include some preseason action.
- YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV: These fancy saloons offer a whole lotta channels, including the ones that might be showing the game. Just remember, partner, they come with a monthly price tag.
Remember: Some of these streaming services offer free trials, so you can mosey on in and watch the game for free (just make sure you mosey back out before the trial ends, or they'll come after you for that six-shooter subscription fee!).
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
The Broke But Bonded Cowboy: Free Options (with a Few Catches)
Let's be real, not everyone's got wads of cash to sling around for fancy streaming services. But fear not, there are still ways to catch a glimpse of the game, even if they involve some wrangling:
- Radio Broadcast: Dust off that old transistor radio and listen to the dulcet tones of the play-by-play announcer. It might not be HD, but you'll still get all the thrills (and spills) of the game.
- Sports Bars: Head down to your local sports bar and soak up the atmosphere (and maybe some questionable nachos). Just be prepared for the company of fellow fans, both joyous and...well, let's just say overly invested.
- Social Media: Keep your eyes peeled on the Cowboys' social media channels. They might be showing some highlights or pre-game interviews.
Pro Tip: Watching with friends (or even making some new ones at the bar) can add a whole new layer of excitement (and heckling) to the experience.
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
So there you have it, partners! With a little know-how, you'll be ready to witness Dak sling lasers and Zeke plow through defenses (hopefully) this preseason. Now go forth, grab your favorite beverage (or ten), and get ready to cheer on America's Team! Just remember, even in preseason, there's no crying in football...unless it's tears of joy, of course! Howdy!
