Watch 49ers vs Raiders in NFL preseason 2024 today, as Gardner Minshew looks to repay head coach Antonio Pierce's faith in reluctantly selecting him as Las Vegas' starting quarterback ahead of Aidan O'Connell. Below we have all the info on how to watch 49ers vs Raiders from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.
It's been a pretty grim preseason for fans of the Silver and Black, who are braced for another long old campaign. The performance of Tre Tucker during their 27-12 defeat to the Cowboys has provided a much-needed spark, however, with the former Cincinnati Bearcats wide receiver racking up 66 yards, capped by a spectacular 48-yard diving catch.
49ers backup quarterback Josh Dobbs put Brock Purdy to shame in their 16-10 victory over the Saints last week, and he could come in handy should star left tackle Trent Williams' contract holdout drag on much longer. Dobbs is by far the more mobile of the two quarterbacks, but with Deebo Samuel and George Kittle set to feature for the Niners today, we're expecting the real Purdy to stand up.
