Buccaneers at Jaguars live stream: TV schedule, time and more
By John Buhler
The Jacksonville Jaguars will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a preseason game on Thursday night. Here is how to watch this NFL exhibition game online.
The second week of the 2017 NFL preseason will begin on Thursday, Aug. 17 with three games on tap for your enjoyment. One of the nationally televised games will be between two of The Sunshine State’s three NFL franchises. The Jacksonville Jaguars will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for an 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff at EverBank Field.
ESPN will have the national broadcast of this exhibition contest. The available live streams can be found in three places: WatchESPN, NFL Game Pass and FuboTV. This could be a very interesting game to watch, as both teams have been practicing against each other this week at the Jaguars’ facilities in Jacksonville.
The Jaguars have been a proponent to this sort of offseason strategy for some time, probably as far back as when Mike Smith was their defensive coordinator under then head coach Jack Del Rio. With Smith in Tampa Bay as part of Dirk Koetter’s staff, this seemed like a natural fit for both teams to compete against each other this week in practice.
Add in that the film crew for HBO’s Hard Knocks will be in North Florida to document all things that go down with the Buccaneers and this could be an ultra-chippy game between Tampa Bay and Jacksonville. While Jacksonville is coming off a preseason win over the New England Patriots of all teams, the Buccaneers stumbled against the Cincinnati Bengals in their first preseason game.
Date: Thursday, Aug. 17
Time: 8:00 p.m. ET
