2025 Nfl Preseason: How To Watch The Atlanta Falcons Vs. Dallas Cowboys Game Tonight

Much of the Dallas Cowboys' preseason has been overshadowed by what's been happening off the field, from Micah Parsons' desire to be traded, to the much-talked-about premiere of the new Netflix docu-series America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys, about Jerry Jones' reign as team owner. That might be a good thing, helping to distract from the team's 0-2 record, As we head into the final week of the preseason, the Cowboys will be hosting the Atlanta Falcons (also 0-2) this Friday, kickoff is at 8 p.m. ET on on the NFL Network.

How to watch the 2025 NFL preseason:

Many NFL preseason games are broadcast on local channels, so if you're looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna). If you want to watch out-of-market games, a $7/month subscription to NFL+ will get you access to NFL Network, which will have every out-of-market game in the preseason. The downside of NFL+? When it comes to the regular season, it's a much less helpful option because there are far fewer NFL Network games during the regular season.
