While waiting for the Cardinals and Chiefs to play, there are other preseason games you can watch live on NFL Network.
The Arizona Cardinals play their preseason opener on Saturday at home against the Kansas City Chiefs. Local fans can watch the game on live, free and over-the-air on Channel 5 in the Phoenix area. But if you want to watch any other NFL preseason action, there are three games that will air live on NFL Network, although one will be on while the Cardinals play.
College football isn’t quite here, so there are football games to have on, whether you are watching them with your full attention or whether you are doing other things and want the games on in the background.
Let’s have a look at what games you can see on NFL Network on Saturday.
NFL preseason games on NFL Network Saturday, Aug. 9
Game 1: New York Giants at Buffalo Bills, 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. Arizona time)
You will get the Bills broadcast team of Andrew Catalon and Steve Tasker. The Cardinals will play neither the Bills nor the Giants, but for Arizona State fans, it means a possible look at running back Cam Skattebo, although he might not play because of a hamstring injury.
Game 2: Houston Texans at Minnesota Vikings, 4 p.m. ET (1 p.m. Arizona time)
Cardinals fans can get a look at Arizona’s Week 15 opponent in the Texans. The Vikings broadcast team of Paul allen and Pete Bercich will be on the call in the NFL Network broadcast (these live coverage games use the home team audio).
Game 3: New York Jets at Green Bay Packers, 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. Arizona time)
The Cardinals face the Packers in Week 7 this season, but the Cardinals are playing at the same time, so why would you turn this game on?
