Carolina fans who want an early look at head coach Dave Canales’ second Panthers team in actual game action now have three television alternatives and a streaming option for the squad’s three preseason contests.
Here’s the Panthers’ 2025 preseason schedule:
Day, Date, Time, Opponent, TV/Streaming Options
Fri., Aug. 8, 7 p.m., vs. Browns, NFL Network, Panthers TV Network, Panthers.com
(Result: Browns 30, Panthers 10)
Sat., Aug. 16, 1 p.m., at Texans, Panthers TV Network, Panthers.com
Thurs., Aug. 21, 7 p.m., vs. Steelers, NFL Network, Panthers TV Network, Panthers.com
As indicated, one option is to watch the games against the Browns and the Steelers via the national broadcast on the NFL Network. However, depending on your location and provider, the national broadcast may be blacked out in your area.
The other preseason television option is to watch the games via the team’s regional broadcasts on the Panthers Television Network, a collection of local TV stations spread across North Carolina, South Carolina and parts of Georgia and Virginia.
The regional broadcasts will have Anish Shroff (the team’s radio voice) handling play-by-play duties, with Panthers legends Jake Delhomme and/or Steve Smith handling color commentary and Carla Metts as the sideline reporter.
For the first time, a Spanish-language TV broadcast of each Panthers game also is available this year, with Carlos Ramirez handling play-by-play duties and Ariana Figuera as the game analyst on Telemundo. Those broadcasts will be carried by eight local affiliates, including four in North Carolina markets: Charlotte (WSOC), Greenville/New Bern (WTGC), Raleigh (WRTD) and Wilmington (WTWL).
For the main (English-language) broadcast, here’s a list of the 2025 Panthers Television Network stations whose reach is entirely or partly in North Carolina:
Cities/Region Covered, Station, Network
Charlotte/Concord/Gastonia/Huntersville, WJZY (FOX)
Greensboro/Asheboro/Burlington/High Point/Winston-Salem, WFMY (CBS)
Greenville/Jacksonville/New Bern/Washington, WITN (NBC)
Outer Banks/Tidewater-Va., WVEC (ABC)
Raleigh/Apex/Cary/Chapel Hill/Durham/Fayetteville/Rocky Mount, WRAL (NBC) and/or WRAZ (FOX)
Wilmington, WSFX (FOX)
The full list of Panthers Television Network affiliates (beyond North Carolina) can be found at Panthers.com, where the games also are being streamed — at no charge — to those located in the team’s primary markets.
