Behrens Morton is giving Patriots fans a clear viewing guide for Thursday night’s preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts, with kickoff set for 7:30 PM and a full schedule of television, radio and digital coverage around it.
The New England Patriots say the game will be available through local broadcast and team platforms, while some app and website viewing is restricted in the local market. For fans outside those limits, there are still multiple ways to follow the action, including radio and streaming options.
What to know before kickoff
The Dunkin' Patriots Pregame Show is scheduled to air from 6:15 PM to 7:15 PM ET, giving viewers and listeners an hour of build-up before Patriots vs. Colts begins. Immediately after the game, the Patriots Postgame Show is set to begin.
That kind of programming matters in a preseason setting because the game itself is only part of the night. The pregame show sets the scene, while the postgame coverage gives fans a quick read on what happened and what it might mean for the roster battle continuing through the summer.
Who is calling the game?
The Patriots say Bob Socci will call the action on the Patriots Radio Network, giving the broadcast side a familiar lead voice for listeners following along away from the television picture.
On the local television side, the Patriots Preseason Television Network is part of the coverage plan, with WBZ-TV CBS in Boston included among the listed outlets. The team also points fans toward Patriots.com, the Patriots app and the Patriots YouTube Channel as digital access points, subject to the stated geographic restrictions.
Where fans can follow it
The main takeaway is straightforward: if you are looking for Patriots vs. Colts on Thursday at 7:30 PM, there is a full broadcast package in place, but access depends on where you are and what device you are using.
For local-market viewers, the Patriots note that app and website viewing is restricted. Fans in Brazil also have a separate option, with the special Portuguese-language stream available exclusively there. It makes this one of those preseason nights where the coverage is almost as important as the game itself, because the Patriots have given supporters several different ways to tune in.
