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.

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.

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.
