How to watch and stream Falcons-Cowboys in NFL preseason for free

As the clock winds down on NFL preseason, the Dallas Cowboys host the Atlanta Falcons tonight, marking the final chance for roster hopefuls to make their case before final cuts loom. Most marquee names will be off the field, giving those on the bubble one last chance to make an impression.

Both teams are entering Week 3 with 0-2 records. The last time the Cowboys and Falcons faced off in November of 2024, the Cowboys lost both the game and QB Dak Prescott to a season-ending hamstring injury. Prescott will sit tonight, with Joe Milton and Will Grier sharing QB duties.

The Falcons are dealing with a rash of injuries that will surely have an effect on the final 53-man roster come Tuesday afternoon, including open spots at cornerback, running back, and receiver.

Here’s how you can watch the Cowboys take on the Falcons from anywhere in the US.

Cowboys vs. Falcons time:

Cowboys vs. Falcons kicks off at 8 p.m. ET today, Aug. 22, on NFL Network.
