Here’s where to watch tonight’s Jets vs. Giants preseason game for free

New York sports teams rarely go head-to-head. But tonight, the Jets and Giants are meeting on the field for their annual matchup to cap off the 2026 NFL preseason. Giants star quarterback Jaxson Dart will likely play today, despite suffering an injury scare during the Aug. 15 preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings. Meanwhile, the Jets’ head coach Aaron Glenn is sitting their new quarterback, Geno Smith, and starting one of his backups, either Cade Klubnik, Bailey Zappe or Brady Cook. Offensive coordinator Frank Reich is not concerned about other players rising to the occasion while Smith is on the bench. Watch Giants v.
