How to watch, stream, listen to Cowboys-Raiders in preseason matchup
Preseason games, in general, are disappointing for the casual fan. The ones who don’t pay much attention to the offseason and are just waiting to see their favorite team in action are always disappointed with the exhibition schedule. Mike McCarthy’s approach to not use the games to prepare his top-line players for the real action only infuriates that part of the fan base more.
But for diehards, who care about every spot on the 53-man roster and how the sausage is made, the preseason is still relevant. Even those fans’ interest levels are tested in the preseason finale. The Cowboys will not be playing anyone they can avoid playing, but will give the bottom of the roster the chance to compete for the final few spots on the 53, the practice squad or a place on another team’s ledger.
As Dallas takes on the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday, fans will get the opportunity to see the final professional game of some men’s career. And if one is interested in that, there’s plenty to watch, listen to or stream. Here’s how to do it.
Game and Umpire Information
Dallas Cowboys (0-2) vs Las Vegas Raiders (2-0)
When: 7:00 CT, Saturday, August 26, 2023
Where: AT&T Stadium, Arlington, TX
Referee: Scott Novak (via FootballZebras.com)
Game Notes: The Raiders have won their last six preseason games. After Washington ended the Ravens’ lengthy streak, this is now the longest in the NFL. It doesn’t mean much, obviously, but hey it’s something. Dallas will allow Will Grier to play the entire game, even though they’ve already told him he will not make the final roster. His replacement, Trey Lance, will not debut.
