You can watch NFL pre-season on DAZN, with every game streaming for free in nearly every country in the world. As well as being a subscription streaming service in its own right, DAZN also incorporates NFL Game Pass, which doesn't cost a thing until the 2025 season starts on September 4.

49 pre-season games are scheduled, including the NFL Hall of Fame Game that's already taken place, with all 32 teams set to play three times. The majority of the fixtures will take place on Saturdays, though there's also a smattering of Thursday, Sunday and Monday night games, and the odd Sunday afternoon clash.

Where can and can't you access NFL Game Pass on DAZN? Read on as we explain how to watch NFL pre-season live streams from anywhere with a VPN for FREE.

How to watch NFL pre-season live streams for free

Fans everywhere except the U.S., Canada and China can live stream all 49 NFL pre-season games for FREE on DAZN.

If you're traveling in the U.S. or Canada for work or on vacation, you can use NordVPN or another VPN service to tap into the free coverage you'd get at home.

How to watch NFL pre-season live streams from anywhere

DAZN's free NFL pre-season coverage is available in most places but not quite everywhere. However, fans in the U.S. and Canada can use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to get a piece of the action.

The software can set your devices to appear as if they're back in your home country regardless of where in the world you physically are. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:
