If you want to watch your favorite NFL team’s preseason games out of market then NFL Game Pass is a great solution. Here are some tips on how to use it.

Many fans that grow up supporting one NFL franchise are forced to move out of that geographic area for one reason or another. That can leave fans longing for ways to catch up on their favorite teams. Fortunately, NFL Game Pass can help bridge some of the gap for passionate fans.

The product won’t allow you to watch live, out-of-market regular season games, but it does give you access to full replays. Additionally, you can log in to watch live preseason games out of your viewing area as well. That means you can get the chance to watch position battles during the preseason happen in real time.

The price for the package this season is once again $99.99 for the full year. There’s also a free trial available if you’d like to test it out before fully committing. If you like, the package can also be attached to your NFL Sunday Ticket package via DirectTV.

If you purchase the plan, it’s important to remember it will not work on games that are available in your local market. It’s always wise to check your local listings first before relying on Game Pass. You can, however, always take advantage of live audio from your home market if you’re looking for a bit of nostalgia.

Another important thing to do is to make sure you download Free Pass on a supported device. A strong Wifi connection is also highly advisable. If you still have issues after making sure you have a valid internet connection, reach out directly to the NFL via their Twitter account to report issues.

One additional bonus of the product is the increased amount of additional content available this season. You’ll have access to numerous programs from NFL Films as well as coaches film and condensed games. It’s not just about watching live preseason or replayed regular season games anymore.
