WATCH Arizona Cardinals vs Carolina Panthers Live Stream Online, NFL Playoffs Wild Card 2014: Listen To Free Sunday Football From North Carolina, Power Rankings

Welcome to the NFL playoffs wildcard round! The Arizona Cardinals take on the Carolina Panthers on the turf of the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina on Saturday, January 3 at 4.35 p.m. EST for the first playoff game of 2015. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of Saturday's game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Wrapping-up the first night of the NFL playoffs, the NFC South champion Panthers will look to quarterback Cam Newton and the rookie wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin to propel them to the second round of the playoffs. The Cardinals, meanwhile, will be relying on third-string quarterback Ryan Lindley and coach Bruce Arians to push the injury-stricken Cards past the Panthers and to the Divisional round of the playoffs.

In his NFL playoff preview, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports says that the Cardinals have been "crushed by unrelenting injuries all over the roster but particularly at the quarterback spot, seem to be riding on fumes after defying the odds and probability all season long."

But, he points out, their secret weapon is coach Arians, who, says, La Canfora, "seems capable of willing them to anything, but they are running out of horses. Will that be enough?"

As for the Panthers, La Canfora says: "Cam Newton has never had any shortage of haters, but even they must be biting their tongues these days. At least I hope they are. The kid survived a serious car accident, came back in a week, tore up the Falcons in what was a do-or-die game in Atlanta last week and now has the Panthers hosting a playoff game after winning five straight to salvage their season and emerge as kings of the lowly NFC South. But you get the sense they aren't complacent or done by any stretch."

With Newton taking on the Cardinal defense and playoff lives on line, this will be a game not to miss.

The game will be broadcast live on ESPN, and streaming through Watch ESPN.

Fans can also listen in on the radio or stream the broadcast at 1110 WBT, Arizona Sport 98.7FM, 94.3 WSC FM, and ESPN 1420.
