How to watch the Bengals game tonight

The Cincinnati Bengals finally play in a football game on Friday night, as they'll begin their 2023 preseason campaign against the Green Bay Packers.

The preseason might not count in the record books but it's important for a slew of reasons. It allows the coaching staff to see which players on the roster bubble deserve to make the team and also helps them determine position battles.

While we likely won't see many of the starters (if any) in Friday night's matchup against the Packers, fans are chomping at the bit for any kind of football and now they'll have their wish.
