NFC teams will host all of this year’s “17th Games” during the regular season, meaning all the teams in that conference will get nine regular season home dates and just one preseason home appearance. That also means that every preseason game across the league has to pit an AFC team against an NFC team.<\/p>\n

The Buccaneers will be making their second August visit to the Meadowlands in the last four years, having also played the Jets on the road in 2023. This will be the ninth preseason meeting between the two teams, with the Bucs holding a 5-3 edge in the series.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs have made one return to Raymond James Stadium since Super Bowl LV, prevailing 41-31 in Week Four of the 2022 season. However, this is Kansas City’s first preseason visit to Tampa since 2010. Overall, the two teams have met six times in the preseason, with the Bucs winning five of them.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay returns to Jacksonville for an August contest for the second time in three years. The two teams also met in the second week of the 2024 preseason, with Jacksonville winning, 20-7after the two teams also held a pair of joint practices. For obvious geographical reasons, the Bucs and Jaguars have been frequent preseason opponents, meeting 14 times. Jacksonville holds the series edge, 9-5.<\/p>\n
