NFL fans worldwide can watch the 2026 preseason for free on DAZN all August, without needing a paid subscription. DAZN announced that all 49 preseason games will be available at no cost in over 200 countries through NFL Game Pass.
This limited-time offer lets viewers outside the United States, Canada, and China watch every play, rookie debut, and position battle before the regular season starts.
For millions of international fans, this deal removes the usual upfront costs of watching pro football. DAZN News says users just need to sign up for a free account to access the live games.
With the free tier, viewers get instant access to full game replays, condensed “Game in 40” versions, and highlight packages for all 32 teams.
What do you get with the free preseason offer?
The package includes every matchup in August, from Thursday night games to full weekends. Fans can watch live with U.S. network commentary, halftime analysis, and sideline reports.
Besides live games, free account holders can watch NFL Network’s 24/7 studio shows, including player rankings and training camp updates.
“With every preseason game available live and free, it’s the perfect chance to experience everything NFL Game Pass has to offer,” DAZN said in its official broadcast schedule announcement at DAZN Game Pass.
Along with single-game streams, the platform offers on-demand team previews and season predictions. This helps international fans follow roster changes and standout players before Week 1.
How to start watching as a football fan
Getting started with the free tier only takes a few minutes on any supported device. Download the free DAZN app on your smart TV, streaming stick (like Fire TV or Roku), phone, tablet, or use an internet browser.
After downloading, just click “Get Started” or “Sign Up,” enter your email, and choose a password to activate your account. You don’t need a credit card or subscription to watch the preseason games.
If you are traveling, you can log in with your usual account details to keep watching live streams on the go. The app also has chat features so fans worldwide can talk about plays and share updates during games.
Regional restrictions and subscription info
Although the offer is available in many places, some regions have restrictions because of local broadcast rights. People in the United States, Canada, and China cannot use the free tier since local TV networks have exclusive rights.
In the United States, games are still shown on local networks, the NFL Network, NBC, CBS, FOX, ESPN, and Prime Video. Sunday Ticket does not offer the preseason games.
For fans in eligible regions, this free offer is a great way to get ready for the 2026 regular season. When the regular season starts on September 10, live games will only be available with DAZN’s paid Season Pro subscription.
But for the rest of August, fans can watch all the preseason games for free.
