What channel is Saints game on today? Latest on how to watch Saints in Week 1

The New Orleans Saints will finally get the 2024 NFL season started, hosting the Carolina Panthers for the Week 1 opener. While it’s just the first game of the year, it’s a big game for both franchises. For the Saints, they are hoping to start the season strong after three straight mediocre seasons without playoff appearances.

The Panthers, on the other hand, were the worst team in football last season, winning just two games all year. After what many analysts deemed a productive offseason, Carolina is ready for its rebuild to move in the right direction.

Both teams will be looking to pick up an important victory in the NFC South. Here’s everything needed for fans to catch the action.

The Saints vs. Panthers matchup will, of course, be available on FOX in Louisiana and the Carolinas, but fans in other locations will have to check local listings.

The game will also be available for streaming on a couple of different apps. It will be available to stream on NFL+, a subscription service on the NFL’s official app. However, fans can only stream the games that are available in their market.
