The Washington Commanders' preseason games in 2025 are broadcast on different channels depending on the game:
- The preseason opener against the New England Patriots on August 8, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. ET is broadcast locally in the Washington D.C. area on WUSA 9, the local CBS affiliate. It can also be streamed on the NFL+ app.
- The game against the Cincinnati Bengals on August 18, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. ET will air nationally on ESPN.
- Another preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens on August 23, 2025, is available on NFL+ and locally on WUSA-CBS in Washington D.C.
So, the Commanders preseason games are shown mainly on CBS locally in Washington D.C., and nationally games can appear on ESPN or NFL+ streaming. The local CBS channel WUSA 9 is frequently used for broadcast in Commanders' market. If you have a specific game date in mind, I can confirm the exact channel for that game. But generally, expect the preseason games on CBS locally and ESPN or NFL+ for national coverage this 2025 preseason season.
