 After two preseason games and a summer-long training camp competition, the Indianapolis Colts have decided that Daniel Jones will be their starting quarterback this season. Jones competed against 2023 draft pick Anthony Richardson for starting duties, and both will likely see some snaps when the team plays the Cincinnati Bengals for their final preseason game this Saturday. The Bengals will be resting their starters, including Joe Burrow, for the Week 3 game as they prepare for their first game of the season against the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 7.

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.
