The NFL Network, as they do every year, will be broadcasting all 65 NFL pre-season games on their network, most via tape delay. They're also offering a package where folks will be able to watch pre-season games live on their computer (check right here for more details on that).
↵If you live in the greater Minneapolis area, you'll obviously be able to see all of the Vikings' pre-season games live as they happen on KARE-11. However, for those of us that are outside of that area, the NFL Network has us covered. Here is the schedule of when the games will be shown live, and when the NFL Network will first re-air them.
↵Pre-Season Game #1 at St. Louis Rams
↵Actual Date and Time of Game - Saturday, 14 August at 7:00 PM Central
Initial NFL Network Re-Broadcast - Sunday, 15 August at 9:00 PM Central
