In today's age of unlimited technology, it seems like everybody should have access to catch their favorite team during their preseason finale. Sadly, that isn't the case. The emergence of numerous streaming platforms has, in some ways, made it more difficult to catch the games. Contracts now get in the way and only certain platforms will broadcast certain games this year.
If you don't live near Pittsburgh and are out-of-market, you may not have access to watch the Steelers vs. Falcons game on Thursday night. For thousands of fans, it doesn't help that certainly DirecTV packages no longer include NFL Network. This would have been an easy way for viewers around the nation to watch the game.
For one reason or another, many fans won't be able to watch the game this week and instead will be listening to the Steelers vs. Falcons in Pittsburgh's final preseason game of 2023. Unless you feel like adding another streaming service to your household, here's how to listen to the game.
