As expected, the NFL released their television schedule for preseason action later this summer, and it’s a true dress rehearsal schedule as the five primary broadcasters—NBC, ESPN, Prime Video, CBS, and FOX—all get one exhibition game. [UPDATE 6/8: The NFL also revealed the 23 preseason games that will be broadcast live on NFL Network.]
Thursday, August 3: Jets vs. Browns (NFL Hall of Fame Game) on NBC (8:00 PM ET)
Monday, August 21: Ravens @ Commanders on ESPN (8:00 PM ET)
Thursday, August 24: Colts @ Eagles on Prime Video (8:00 PM ET)
Friday, August 25: Lions @ Panthers on CBS (8:00 PM ET)
Sunday, August 27: Texans @ Saints on FOX (8:00 PM ET)
Overall, it’s a more straightforward approach for the league with all the “national” games coming at 8:00 PM ET, but we should also get a bunch of live action on NFL Network throughout August.
