Despite missing out on the playoffs for a sixth straight season, the Broncos are now being hyped up as genuine Super Bowl material. They finally have a Grade A QB in Russell Wilson, Nathaniel Hackett’s arrival means Vic Fangio’s miserable tenure is over, and they’ve just been bought by Rob Walton, who has by far and away the deepest pockets the NFL has ever seen. So it’s fitting that the new era begins against the Cowboys, who for so long have failed to capitalize on Jerry Jones’ riches. Read on as we explain how to get a Cowboys vs Broncos live stream and watch the NFL preseason game online from anywhere – including FREE coverage in some places.

At the time of writing it isn’t clear how many snaps Wilson will take, but with tickets for this encounter being priced higher than any other preseason game bar last week’s Hall of Fame clash, Hackett surely has to play the main man if he wants to get the Broncos faithful on the side nice and early.
The Cowboys won the NFC East for the first time since 2019, but fell at the first hurdle in the playoffs, and goodness did they fall. For the past seven months, fans of America’s Team will have had nightmares about the calamitous final few seconds of their last campaign, which ended with Dak Prescott failing to spike the ball in time for what should have been a game-snatching final play.
While preseason games bear little significance in the grand scheme of things, this clash seems to have more riding on it than most, with Mike McCarthy on the brink, and the Broncos about to embark upon what could turn out to be a very successful journey.
