We’re already onto the second week of NFL preseason games with the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers kicking off on Sunday night. This will be a nationally-broadcast game carried on FOX affiliates around the country; Adam Amin and Mark Sanchez are on the call.
Here’s what you need to know:
- What: New Orleans Saints at San Francisco 49ers
- Where: Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, Calif.
- When: Sunday, Aug. 18, 7 p.m. CT (5 p.m. California time)
You can stream the game for free on Fubo TV (try it here), as well as a paid streaming option on NFL+. If you’re planning to listen in over the radio, tune in to WWL 870 AM or 105.3 FM with Mike Hoss and Deuce McAllister. Fans in the Bay Area should check into KGO 810 AM for the local broadcast.
This should be an interesting matchup. The Saints were set to host the 49ers for two days of joint practices at their training camp in Irvine, but San Francisco bowed out after sustaining too many injuries over the summer. New Orleans is also dealing with a host of their own injuries but they plan on playing their starters to make up for lost reps against the 49ers. How many snaps Derek Carr and the starting offense needs remains to be seen, but their performance last week is enough proof to suggest they need the practice before the regular season begins in September.
