NFL preseason: games, when it starts, dates, times, TV; how and where to watch

One hundred and seventy-two days on from Super Bowl LVI, the NFL returns on Thursday as the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Las Vegas Raiders and kick off preseason with the traditional Hall of Fame Game in Ohio.

And beginning next week, all 32 NFL teams will be back in action in preseason Week 1, before playing a further two rounds of games in preparation for the start of the campaign in September.

What time will the Hall of Fame Game be played?

The 2022 Hall of Fame Game between the Jaguars and the Raiders will be played at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, on Thursday 4 August 2022 at 8pm ET/7pm CT/5pm PT.

How can I watch Jaguars vs Raiders?

TV viewers in the United States will be able to watch the Jaguars vs the Raiders on NBC. For more information on tuning in to the Hall of Fame Game check out my colleague Dane Arlauckas’ guide on how to watch the preseason curtain-raiser.
