Keep reading to find out how and when to watch the Carolina Panthers vs. New England Patriots game tonight, even if you don't have cable.
WATCH THE NFL ON SLING TV
How and when to watch the Carolina Panthers vs. New England Patriots preseason game
The Carolina Panthers vs. New England Patriots NFL preseason game will be played on Thursday, August 8, 2024, at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT). The NFL preseason game will air on NFL Network and stream on Sling TV and the platforms featured below.
How and when to watch the Carolina Panthers vs. New England Patriots preseason game without cable
While many cable packages include NFL Network, it's easy to watch the game if NFL Network isn't included in your cable TV subscription, or if you don't have cable at all. Your best options for watching are below. (Streaming options will require an internet provider.)
Sling TV is the most cost-effective way to stream the Carolina Panthers vs. New England Patriots game
If you don't have cable TV that includes NFL Network, one of the most cost-effective ways to watch tonight's game, and all the major sporting events happening this fall, is through a subscription to Sling TV. To watch the NFL Network on Sling TV, you'll need a subscription to the Orange tier or the Blue tier. We suggest leveling up your coverage to get more NFL games this fall with the Orange + Blue tier.
That Orange + Blue plan normally costs $60 per month, but the streamer currently offers a half-off promotion for your first month, so you'll pay just $30. For the least expensive Olympic-watching option, the Blue plan includes the channels NBC, USA and E!, starting at $45 per month ($22.50 for your first month).
The streamer is also currently offering big savings on four months of the Orange + Blue tier plus the Sports Extra plan when you prepay for the Sling TV Season Pass. The Sports Extra plan includes Golf Channel and Big Ten Network, among others. Prepay for four months of the Sling TV Season Pass and spend $219, reduced from $300.
Because Sling TV does not carry CBS, Sling subscribers will want to add Paramount+ to their bundle.
Note: Paramount+ and CBS Essentials are both subsidiaries of Paramount Global.
Top features of Sling TV Orange + Blue plan:
Sling TV is our top choice for streaming major sporting events like NASCAR.
There are 46 channels to watch in total, including local NBC, Fox and ABC affiliates (where available).
You get access to most local NFL games and nationally broadcast games at the lowest price.
All subscription tiers include 50 hours of cloud-based DVR storage.
You can add Golf Channel, NBA TV, NHL Network, NFL RedZone, MLB Network, Tennis Channel and more sports-oriented channels (19 in total) via Sling TV's Sports Extras add-on.
