Nearly six months after the Seattle Seahawks were crowned Super Bowl champions, the NFL is back.
The Hall of Fame Game leads into three full weeks of preseason action as teams gear up for the 2026 season and get their first real look at new players, coaches and schemes.
While many established stars will get limited (if any) playing time in preseason games, there are plenty of storylines to follow in August. The spotlight will be on players returning from injury (most notably Patrick Mahomes), touted rookies led by Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza, and position battles across the league.
Whatever your interests, the bottom line is there will be football to watch at last. Here’s when and where to tune in to every preseason game.
