Their playoff drought is now at four years, and it’s expected to keep growing, but the Carolina Panthers are hoping to surprise some teams in the NFC after trading for quarterback Baker Mayfield to pair with some dangerous offensive weapons and a very solid defense.
If you don’t have cable and you live in the Panthers market, you can watch a live stream of every televised game (one game will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video) on FuboTV or DirecTV Stream, which both include CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN and come with a free trial.
Those are the two best options if you’re cutting cable, but there are some other alternatives, including some for out-of-market viewers, so here’s a full guide on the different ways to watch Panthers games streaming live online in 2022:

Carolina Panthers 2022 Season Preview
This season for the Panthers is a pivotal one for head coach Matt Rhule as he enters his third season after going just 10-23 in his first two seasons. Rhule and the Panthers will likely need to show progress this season if he’s going to remain as the head coach.
One of the Panthers’ biggest struggles in Rhule’s first two seasons has been the lack of consistent quarterback play. The team tried to address that this offseason when they traded for Baker Mayfield.
Another big concern for Carolina will be trying to keep running back Christian McCaffrey healthy for a full season. The Panthers’ star back has played in just ten games total the last two seasons.
The offensive line struggled last season as they used 13 different combinations last season. The good news is the team took steps to improve the line this offseason by adding Bradley Bozeman and Austin Corbett in free agency. Rookie tackle Ikem Ekwonu has also been earning rave reviews.
The wide receiver core will be led by DJ Moore and Robbie Anderson but beyond that, the team will need some other players to step up. Terrace Marshall Jr. will have a chance in his second season to grow into the third receiver role.
On defense, the Panthers should be pretty strong as they bring back most of the starters from last season. The defensive line will be led by Brian Burns who had nine sacks last season.
The linebackers will be led by veteran Shaq Thompson who had 104 total tackles last season. In the secondary safety, Jeremy Chinn and cornerback Donte Jackson will lead the group again.
The Panthers’ defense could even take another step forward this season if some of their younger players step up. The Panthers are still high on second-year cornerback Jaycee Horn after playing in just three games during his rookie season after breaking three bones in his foot.
Carolina would also like to get more out of defensive tackle Derrick Brown and Frankie Luvu who made some impact plays last season in limited opportunities.
If the Panthers can get Mayfield to return close to his 2020 form then the team should be much improved. If everything comes together then the Panthers could be vying for a playoff spot this season.
