GAME DAY! Preseason Game 1 ~ 08/15 ~ Giants
Preseason Game 1
@ NYG - SAT 08/15 - NOON
I thought it would be nice to have a thread for all things pertaining to the Giants game. Before, during, & after.
It makes it easier to keep up with any news, info, articles, opinions, observations, etc.
Game day posts are nice for those that aren't able to watch the game.

Do any of these links show the game? It sounds like today's game is not available on YoutubeTV, but is on NFL+. Anyone subscribe? It's $40 for the year. For that I can watch all three preseason games. But is there any value to the service beyond the preseason?
Is there another way to watch the game?

If you have DirecTV with ESPN included in your package, you also get ESPN Unlimited. You have to activate though.
ESPN Unlimited is included at no extra code on accounts in good standing whose base package included ESPN channel 206. Satellite Channel Lineup
Log in to your account at DIRECTV, navigate to TV Package from your Account Overview, click the Activate ESPN Unlimited link, and follow the prompts to agree and sign in with your MyDisney/ESPN credentials.
Also, check your messages.

Couple of notes from Paul Allen on KFAN this morning:
— Sean Borman (@SeanBormanNFL) August 15, 2026
• Kyler Murray and the Vikings starting OL are expected to play about 8 to 14 snaps, depending on how the first drive or two plays out
• Rookie CB Chuck Demmings has a “50/50 shot at becoming CB3” & will play a lot today

This #Vikings have legitimate depth across all 3 phases worth tracking live today:
— Sean Borman (@SeanBormanNFL) August 15, 2026
With Kyler Murray locked in at QB1, watching J.J. McCarthy run the offense live is vital tape. Later, Carson Wentz & Max Brosmer will show us just how deep the QB room is 🧵

Sounds like no Darrisaw or Jefferson today...
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

If you live outside the Minnesota viewing area, it appears the @Giants preseason game will be available live on ESPN Unlimited app. If you have DirecTV or YouTube TV you probably already have ESPN Unlimited at no charge.
This is news to me, as I understood it was going to be added later this fall. I just confirmed by calling and having the AI automation tell me the same thing...they don't have a specific date yet, other than adding "later this fall".
Do you have it on your YTTV? I have the ESPN Unlimited upgrade through Verizon, so I can watch there and obviously later on NFL Network if needed on YTTV.

Only value IMO is if you're wanting to watch live vs taped, because NFL Network will tape the game and air it at 7pm. You may check your listings, because sometime they provide the first week for free (most of the time it's in the regular season though).

Odell Beckham Jr. just ran over to Kevin O'Connell and chest-bumped him with aggression. O'Connell took the hit well. Super Bowl things.

Got music on in the house and the NFL Network on in the background.....a little crazy to see Kyler Murray in a Viking's uniform in game warmups. A new season awaits.

The Vikings' 1s are going through warm-ups, and the entire first-team OL is taking part. Including Ts Christian Darrisaw and Brian O'Neill.
