How to Watch Bills vs. Buccaneers Final Preseason: Time, TV, Streaming, and Radio Options

Buffalo Bills vs Tampa Bay Bucs + 3 nights at Westgate Town Center

Buffalo, NY – August 2025

There are summer nights in Buffalo when the city doesn’t sleep, waiting for the roar of kickoff. And there are nights when the silence hangs heavy, as injury reports pile on like a mournful melody. Heading into the final preseason game, the Buffalo Bills carry both worry and hope — constant companions of every heart in Bills Mafia.

The Final Tune-Up Before the Real Journey

  • Buffalo Bills vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers

  • Date & Time: Saturday, August 23, 2025 – 7:30 PM ET

  • Location: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Florida

  • This isn’t just another exhibition. It’s a stage where fringe players fight for a roster spot. Every snap matters, every rep could define a career.

    Cracks in the Dream

    • Josh Allen will sit out the entire preseason for the first time in his career — a wise move, but one that leaves fans aching for that first spectacular throw.

  • Tre’Davious White, the defensive stalwart, hobbled off during practice. No official word on severity, but the image alone tightened hearts across Bills Mafia.

  • Jarveon Howard (RB) has been placed on waived/injured, ending his preseason journey prematurely.

  • Grant DuBose (WR) and Maxwell Hairston (CB) are both listed as questionable, adding more uncertainty to the roster picture.

  • Across the Field

    The Buccaneers aren’t unscathed either. Jalen McMillan (WR) is out with a severe neck injury — a long absence looms. Chris Godwin and Tristan Wirfs are freshly activated from PUP but likely won’t risk playing before the season opener.

    Where to Watch, Stream, & Listen

    • TV Broadcast: WFLA (Tampa Bay) and regional affiliates.

  • Streaming: NFL+ offers live coverage for out-of-market preseason games across devices.

  • Radio: WXTB 97.9 FM for play-by-play, with Spanish-language coverage available on La Invasora AM/FM stations.

  • So whether you’re in Buffalo or across the country, fans can follow every down, every hit, and every moment of this emotional final preseason clash.

    The Faith of Buffalo

    This is the last preview before the true battleground of the regular season. Buffalo knows adversity — the snow, the heartbreaks — and that's how their backbone is forged. The city stands tall because it believes. It always has. Until that Lombardi Trophy finally glints in red, white, and blue.

    “We’ve endured more than anyone can imagine. But that’s our strength. This is Buffalo — and we never quit.”

    Buffalo Bills Reunited With Two Familiar Faces To Strengthen Defense Ahead Of Falcons Game
    Buffalo, NY – October 8, 2025 The Buffalo Bills have officially reunited with two familiar names, signing linebacker Baylon Spector and cornerback Jalen Kimber to their practice squad as injuries continue to thin out their defensive depth chart. Spector, a former seventh-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, returns to Buffalo after being released in training camp. Over three seasons with the team, he recorded 34 total tackles in 13 games , showing flashes of potential before being derailed by injuries. His return helps stabilize the linebacker group after Jimmy Ciarlo was promoted to the active roster ahead of last week’s game against the Patriots.   At cornerback, the Bills brought back Jalen Kimber, who previously spent time on the team’s practice squad earlier this season. Kimber, 6’0” and 190 pounds, joined the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted rookie out of Georgia and Penn State, but was released in late August. He briefly signed with Buffalo in September before being waived to make room for safety Otis Reese IV, who has now been released. The timing of these moves reflects the Bills’ growing list of defensive injuries. Linebackers Matt Milano (pectoral) and Dorian Williams (knee)   have both missed time, while rookie cornerbacks Dorian Strong (neck) and Maxwell Hairston (knee) remain on Injured Reserve with no immediate return expected. If Williams is unable to play this week, Spector could be elevated to the active roster and dress on game day, while Kimber provides valuable depth behind veterans Dane Jackson and Kaiir Elam. With the Bills preparing to face the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night (7:15 p.m. ET), these roster additions provide much-needed reinforcements for a defense that has been battling attrition since Week 1. Buffalo fans will hope these familiar faces can help steady the defense as the team pushes to stay competitive in the AFC race.
