Watching a live stream of NFL preseason games can be difficult, but there are still plenty of different ways to legally watch the Philadelphia Eagles’ exhibition contests.

Because your options are dependent on where you live, the first step is to figure out what TV channel the games are on in your area. If the Eagles are in your television market (you can click here to see what channel the game is on in areas around Philadelphia), the game will be on a local channel (CBS, ABC, NBC or Fox affiliate. In Philadelphia, for example, preseason games will be on NBC-WCAU) and your options will be the following: CBS All Access, Fubo TV, Sling TV or DirecTV Now.

If the Eagles aren’t in your market, the Week 3 (vs. Dolphins) and Week 4 (at Jets) games will be on NFL Network and can be streamed via Sling TV, while the Week 1 (at Packers) and Week 2 (vs. Bills) games can be watched live via NFL Game Pass, which allows you to watch a live stream of every out-of-market (non-nationally televised) preseason game.

Here’s a complete rundown of every option:


CBS All Access

This is going to be the best option for fans in any city inside the Eagles market where games are being broadcast on your local CBS channel.

CBS All Access allows users to watch a live stream of their local CBS channel, as well as providing access to on-demand content and and exclusive originals, for $5.99 per month.

Here’s a rundown of how to start a free trial and start watching the Eagles if they’re on your local CBS affiliate:

2. Click on “Try It Free” and then create an account

3. Select the subscription type you want (“Limited Commercials” is $5.99 per month and “Commercial Free” is $9.99 per month) and enter your payment information. If you cancel your subscription before the trial period ends (one week for “Limited Commercials” or two days for “Commercial Free”), you will not be charged

4. Return to the CBS All Access website to start watching live CBS. You can also watch on a streaming device via the CBS app, but note that you can not watch NFL games via CBS All Access on mobile phones
