In a hurry? You can cut to the chase and sign up with one of these services to watch New Orleans Saints games all season long:

Why You Need a VPN Today

However, first you need a VPN to unblock US streaming services from . Our favourite is ExpressVPN. It’s definitely not the cheapest option at $4.99/month, but it just works – and across all your devices.

They have servers in 25+ US cities/states and 105 countries, which unblock access to premium streaming platforms available only in the US, as well as free “on demand” TV services worldwide.

You’ll have access to local platforms as if you were in the country, meaning you can watch BBC iPlayer as if you were in the UK, CBC Gem as if you were in Canada, plus hundreds more worldwide.

Sign Up for ExpressVPN

Hotdog users get three months free at ExpressVPN, so it’s a “no-brainer” for us. Decide for yourself with their 30 day money-back guarantee.

IMPORTANT: Once you’ve installed your VPN and connected to a US server, you’ll still need to subscribe separately to access premium streaming services.

Bottom line: 16 of the 17 regular season Saints games will air on live TV with one streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The services above have you covered for the regular and postseason. See the Saints’ 2024 schedule below.

About the New Orleans Saints

Although the Saints had winning records in two of the past three seasons, these didn’t result in any playoff appearances. Those campaigns came on the heels of four straight years of 11+ wins per season, including an NFC Championship Game appearance in 2018, and Saints fans hope that kind of performance will return in 2024.

Last season was especially frustrating, as New Orleans (9-8) finished tied for the NFC South title and the final Wild Card spot but lost out on both.

It’s a positive sign that 2023 marked third-year head coach Dennis Allen’s first winning record though, as his initial Saints squad went 7-10, while he was 8-28 during his time with the Raiders (2012-14).

Changes were made elsewhere during the past offseason, including the dismissal of offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr, who was replaced by Klint Kubiak (the 49ers’ passing game coordinator in 2023, and Vikings’ offensive coordinator in 2021). Defensive coordinator Joe Woods returns for his second year in New Orleans.

In terms of players, perhaps the biggest name to no longer be a Saint is wide receiver Michael Thomas. He led the NFL in receptions in 2018 and 2019, but he’s been unable to contribute much the past few seasons due to injuries.

Looking forward, quarterback Derek Carr will be a key focus. This will be his second year in New Orleans, after spending the previous nine with the Raiders. He’s hoping for a stronger offensive line in 2024, as the four-time Pro Bowler was injured in three games last year by hits from defensive players. That weak offensive line also contributed to a poor Saints running game.

Last year’s New Orleans defense was particularly weak in pressuring opposing quarterbacks and stopping opponents’ running games, and it needs to improve if the Saints are to have a strong season this year. Newcomer defensive end Chase Young, who played for the Commanders and 49ers last year, may help that improvement happen.

The New Orleans Saints are one of only two teams to have won their sole Super Bowl appearance (the other being the New York Jets).

FAQs

What radio station is the Saints game on?

New Orleans Saints Radio Network, Westwood One, and Sirius XM will let fans enjoy every second of the play. WWL is the flagship radio station of the Saints. It is available on 870 WWL-AM and 105.3 WWL-FM frequencies. The reception extends beyond Louisiana to cover parts of Mississippi and the Gulf Coast as well.

Fans can also use Westwood One Sports to hear live commentary of every primetime and postseason game.

How do I record New Orleans Saints live games?

Almost all streaming services provide a cloud DVR with their base plans. This allows Saints fans to record, playback, and pause live games. There are some exceptions (eg, ESPN3), but all the channels that air NFL games allow users to record them. If a service doesn’t provide a DVR, or fans are using a digital antenna, one can be bought separately to record games.
