Eagles Preseason Game: What to Expect
15 Aug
Summary
- Many star players will not participate in the preseason opener.
- 12 players are fighting for a roster spot.
- The game will be available on multiple streaming platforms and broadcast channels.
The Philadelphia Eagles will begin their preseason campaign against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, August 17th, 2024. This marks the first of three exhibition games before the regular season opener on September 13th against the Washington Commanders.
Fans can expect limited playing time from offensive stars, as is common practice in modern NFL preseasons. Quarterback Jalen Hurts, for instance, has not played in a preseason snap since 2022. Teams often utilize simplified playbooks to prevent advance scouting and focus on evaluating players vying for roster spots.
Despite the potential lack of star power, the game holds significant importance for approximately 12 players aiming to make the final roster. The broadcast will be available on NBC10 in the Philadelphia area, with Ross Tucker and Scott Graham on the call.
Fans outside the immediate Philadelphia market can find the game on various regional stations, WBAL-TV in Baltimore, WLKY in Louisville, and KHII in Honolulu. Audio broadcasts will be available on 94.1 WIP with Merrill Reese and Mike Quick, and nationally on SiriusXM NFL Radio.
Streaming options include the Eagles app and PhiladelphiaEagles.com for those in the Philadelphia or Baltimore markets. It will also be available on skinny bundles carrying NBC10, the NBC app with a cable login, and for free via a digital antenna in the Philadelphia area. Fans outside the Philadelphia market can subscribe to NFL+ for $6.99 per month.
