NFL preseason football kicks off in a serious way this weekend, with all 32 professional football teams taking the field. For San Francisco 49ers fans and Tennessee Titans fans, the real action is on Saturday, when the two teams will face off at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, TN. San Francisco is unlikely to play its healthy starters (though Dominick Puni is expected to take the field) while Tennessee is expected to play most of their starters for at least one drive.
Today's game is the first chance for 49ers and Titans fans (and fantasy football lovers) to see both teams in action and assess their potential for the coming NFL season. Keep reading to find out how and when to watch the preseason game tonight, even if you don't have cable or live out-of-market.
