The Las Vegas Raiders played their first preseason game of the season last Thursday against the Seattle Seahawks. This time around, they will be playing the San Francisco 49ers, whom they have been practicing against all week.

When it comes to rivalries that aren’t in the division, this one is about as big as it gets. However, this is a preseason game, so the fire won’t be as big. Then again, we thought the same thing about the last preseason game, and there was some intensity there.

Last game, the starters played a bit, but man, they looked very bad. And what’s even worse about it all is that the Raiders were playing against the Seahawks’ backups from the get-go.

And so, this preseason game is a huge one, because you want to see the main guys for the Raiders knock some of that rust off. And yes, the starters will be playing, as Pete Carroll has already said. As long as they get one good drive in that leads to points, or even a full seven points, then it’s okay to let them just play a drive or so.

The Raiders have to show some things on Saturday. But, before we dive into all of that in a different article, I think it’s important to know how to watch this game.

How to watch the Raiders vs. 49ers preseason game

Luckily for you all, this preseason game is on national TV, as the Raiders play the San Francisco 49ers on NFL Network at 3 PM Pacific Time. Yes, it’s an earlier game, where the last game was an extremely late game, especially for the people who live on the East Coast. But it’s on national TV, which is great because you usually can’t watch most preseason games unless you’re local.

If you’re not local, NFL Network will be the move. You can access the NFL Network on streaming services like Hulu TV, YouTube TV, and others that offer live TV channels.

If you’re local, you can watch the broadcast on your local channels or even use the Raiders Allegiant Stadium Plus app. And, if you’re local can’t watch, but can listen, there are ways you can listen on the radio, too.

Here is everything from the Raiders website about how to listen:
