The schedule for the 2025 NFL preseason was finally unveiled on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. This is the time of year when fan bases of all 32 teams are anxiously waiting to see their teams' opponents for the upcoming season. The NFL Preseason schedule is set to begin with a HOF game on July 31, 2025, and continue until August 24, 2025, as per reports.
Fans have already gone through the draft process and are eagerly watching rookies of their respective teams blow up the minicamps held for first-year players. A QB battle in Cleveland, New Orleans, and Pittsburgh (if they don’t sign Aaron Rodgers before August) will be the one grabbing major headlines during this year’s preseason. Another QB competition to keep an eye on in August will be in Indy, where Anthony Richardson and newly acquired Daniel Jones will compete for the starting spot.
Where to watch the NFL Preseason games?
You can watch the NFL preseason games live on the NFL Network. Some games will be streamed on CBS, ESPN, and NBC, as per CBS Sports. However, the NFL Network is the best place to watch games. Live streaming of NFL Network is available across multiple devices (smartphones, PC, tablets, and connected TVs) through the NFL app or NFL.com/watch for subscribers of participating NFL Network providers.
Preseason is also a time during which general managers have the most work cut out for them. These games allow each player, regardless of their draft pick standing, to showcase their talent on the field and make the 53-man roster. It also gives rookies their first taste of playing against actual NFL players. There are also joint practices during the preseason month where players of both teams can scrimmage against each other in practice facilities. No matter the previous records or past history, all 32 teams start with a clean slate during that time of year and give optimism to their fans about the season.
