I purchased the Sunday Ticket this year, after about four years without it. Does anyone know if it includes the Preseason games? NFL Network isn't going to play the 49er/Raider game until late Sunday night. WTF?

I can't wait until we're a legit contender again. Outside of Cali, the team gets no respect. Every weekend is a nightmare trying to find someone that broadcasts the game. Hell, even sports bars are hesitant to play 49ers games.

NFL Pick 'em

Nope they don't broadcast preseason games on ST. You can either watch online or catch the replay on NFL-N.

If you can get the NFL Sunday Ticket, then you've got Direct TV. If you have Direct TV, then you've got the NFL Network, Channel 212 here in the Bay Area. And if you've got the NFL Network, then you've got all the preseason games. They show them all and they show them often.

Almost none of them are live, but if you stay away from the sports scores, then they're live to you. And even if you don't, preseason is all about evaluation, so you can still get a lot from the game even if you know the outcome beforehand.
