With the NFL schedule officially revealed, the anticipation for the new season is starting to build. Big trades for Myles Garrett and A.J. Brown figure to be the last major football activity for a bit as the offseason enters a bit of a dead period outside of OTAs.
Training camps are set to open late July with the NFL preseason following shortly after. With the Hall of Fame game set for early August and three weeks of games after, preseason games give us our first true sample of NFL football since the Super Bowl.
TV info for NFL preseason games
All NFL preseason games are available over the air in a team’s local market, as is the case with regular season games. A few select games are televised nationally throughout the course of the preseason, with each major broadcast partner airing one to give their top crews a dress rehearsal before the start of the season.
NFL Network simulcasts a lot of the local broadcasts of preseason games as well. Information on which games will air on NFL Network is expected to be available in the coming weeks.
The other nationally televised preseason games will occur in Weeks 2 and 3.
- Week 2: Raiders at the Texans on ESPN
- Week 2: Seahawks at Titans on Fox
- Week 3: Patriots at Browns on Prime Video
- Week 3: Bengals at Eagles airs on CBS.
2026 Hall Of Fame Game
The preseason kicks off with the Hall of Fame Game from Canton, OH on Thursday, Aug. 6. NBC will televise the matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers at 8:00 p.m. ET.
These teams were picked for the game due to their ties to the upcoming Pro Football Hall of Fame Class. Former Panthers’ star Luke Kuechly and Cardinals’ great Larry Fitzgerald are two of the five members of the class.
