You can pony up the cash for the NFL Game Pass, which airs all preseason games live. If you live in the Pittsburgh area, you will get to watch the game live. What to do if you don’t want to miss the game? There are several ways you can still watch it. So, set your DVRs to record so you can watch and analyze those 4th- and 5th-string performances! Have no fear! According to the NFL Network’s preseason schedule, the Steelers and Packers game will be re-aired in its entirety on Friday, August 17th, at 2 a.m. While the Steelers will be battling the Packers, fans who tune into the NFL Network will get to watch the Cleveland Browns battle the Buffalo Bills on Friday night.
The Steelers almost always grab one of those live broadcasts, but their Week-2 preseason game against the Green Bay Packers isn’t one of them. The NFL Network, another channel not promised to everyone with a television and cable, promises to air every preseason game, but only a select few are aired live and in real-time. While many fans, like yours truly, pony up the money for DIRECTV NFL Sunday Ticket to watch every regular season game from the comfort of our own home, the package doesn’t include preseason games. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ fan base is ridiculously large, and when it comes to watching the Black-and-gold on TV, no one wants to miss a minute.
