NFL Network Will Air Live Broadcasts of Two Preseason Games

In this story:
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Good news for Green Bay Packers fans who don’t live in the Packers’ home television market.
NFL Network will air two of the team’s three preseason games live: at the San Francisco 49ers on Friday, Aug. 12, to start the preseason and at the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday, Aug. 25, to end the preseason.
NFL Network will air the home team’s broadcast, so fans won’t get to hear Kevin Harlan and James Lofton for those games.
The home game against the New Orleans Saints on Friday, Aug. 19, will be aired only on the Packers Television Network. The network’s 21 affiliates, which are located throughout Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Alaska and Nebraska, will air all three preseason games as well as the Family Night practice.
