The NFL preseason got underway with the 2025 Hall of Fame Game delivering a ton of excitement. As the Los Angeles Chargers faced off against the Detroit Lions, a potentially resurgent Trey Lance led Los Angeles to an impressive 34-7 victory.
With the Hall of Fame Game getting fans excited for football, there is one thing on everyone’s mind: when is the next preseason game, and is there any NFL action tonight?
When Is the Next NFL Preseason Game?
Each year, the Hall of Fame Game kicks off the NFL preseason. While the NFL’s Hall of Fame Ceremony was on Saturday, there aren’t any other preseason games this weekend.
Instead, the next NFL preseason game is Thursday, Aug. 7. Over the following three weeks, each team will participate in three preseason matchups.
After the preseason, the NFL regular season begins with a Thursday Night Football game between the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and their divisional rival, the Dallas Cowboys.
NFL Preseason Schedule
While the Hall of Fame Game kicked things off with a bang, teams have a lot of work to do over the next month to evaluate their rosters and get ready for the regular season.
Meanwhile, franchises like the Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints, and Indianapolis Colts need to figure out their starting quarterback.
