It’s the last week of NFL preseason and for New Yorkers, the main event is finally here: the New York Jets and New York Giants will play each other for the only time this season.
The teams, who share a stadium, took part in a joint practice earlier this week where the Jets dominated — and made headlines after Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner’s assessment of Giants quarterback Daniel Jones.
It’s unlikely that we’ll see Gardner on the field today, given that Jets head coach Robert Saleh has said that none of the offensive or defensive starts will see action tonight. That includes quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who hasn’t seen any action that wasn’t training camp since Week 1 of the 2023-24 season.
Below, check out everything you need to know to tune into the match, from start time and channel to how to watch for free.
Kickoff at the Jets vs. Giants game is set for 7:30 p.m. ET today, August 10.
The Jets’ preseason game against the Giants is airing on CBS (the Jets’ home network) in the New York metro area.
