Bottom line: 15 of the 17 regular season Jets games will air on live TV with two streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The services above have you covered for the regular and postseason. See the Jets schedule below.
New York Jets 3
The Jets are opening their 2024 season with two away games, and that stretch did not get off to the best of starts as a trip to the Bay Area resulted in a 32-19 loss to the defending NFC champion 49ers on Monday. That setback marked the team’s fifth 0-1 start to a season in six years.
Will new Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers ultimately lead his team to its first playoff appearance since 2010? It is still very much possible, and NY’s Week 1 challenge is expected to be one of its greatest of the season while an away win with the Titans on Sunday on short rest would certainly help.
The New York Jets kick off Week 3 with a record of 1-1.

How to Watch the New York Jets Game Without Cable
You’re here to find a way to watch the New York Jets games without cable. The first step is to pick a streaming service. We’ll go through all of your options throughout this guide, but we’ll start with three of our top streaming picks.

Your streaming service will connect to a streaming device. Think of it as how a cable box would work for cable users. The main difference is that a streaming device connects to the Internet, allowing you to connect your device at home or on the go.
Most devices are supported. All the services offer apps for Amazon Fire TV, Android Mobile, Android TV-based smart TVs, Apple TV, Chromecast, iOS (iPhone, iPad), Roku, Samsung smart TVs, and web browsers. There is less support for gaming systems like Xbox One and PlayStation and other smart TVs like those from LG and Vizio.

About the New York Jets
The NY Jets are going through a particularly disappointing part of their history, having not made the playoffs since 2010, the NFL’s longest current playoff drought. That period did include a 10-win season as the 2015 Jets went 10-6 while concurrently missing out on the postseason, but every other year since 2010 has resulted in a .500 or lower record. Most recently, the Jets were 7-10 in 2022 and 2023.
That said, the team has an even more impressive – maybe impressive is the wrong word – Super Bowl drought, having last played in that game following its 1968 season. The only teams with longer such droughts have never played in the game, the Lions and Browns.
Will quarterback Aaron Rodgers cultivate some of the magic that he has shown throughout his playing career, or does he not have enough left in his tank at 40 to do that? Simply staying healthy would go a long ways towards that magic returning and the Jets ending their playoff drought; he missed nearly all of 2023 after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in the first game of the season.
Also important is the improvement of the line in front of him as several question marks are related to it. Elsewhere on this side of the field, contributing to Jets’ successes in 2024 should be running back Breece Hall and wide receivers Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams, the latter player a newcomer who played well during his seven years with the Chargers although he missed much of the 2023 season with an ACL tear.
However, the defense should be solid once again after it finished its 2023 campaign third in the league in yards allowed per game. It was also fourth the year before, a significant improvement over its dead-last performance in 2021.
Some of the top defensive players for the 2024 Jets include defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, linebackers Haason Reddick and Jermaine Johnson, and cornerback Sauce Gardner. Reddick is a newcomer, having most recently played for the Eagles.
The kicking duties are expected to be filled by kicker Greg Zuerlein and punter Thomas Morstead.
