The Buffalo Bills are playing for the final year at the current Highmark Stadium and will host the New York Giants for the preseason opener to celebrate the start of the 2025-26 season. While the reigning NFL MVP, Josh Allen, will be watching from the sidelines, the spotlight will be on Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart’s debut.
With several young players making their debut and coaching shifts, there’s more than enough intrigue to tune in, if you know how to. So here’s everything you need to know to catch Saturday’s game.
When Is the Buffalo Bills vs. New York Giants Preseason Game?
- Date: Saturday, August 9
- Kickoff Time: 1:00 p.m. ET

The Bills and Giants haven’t faced each other often in the preseason, but they’ve met 14 times in the regular season and playoffs, with Buffalo holding an 8-6 advantage. The Giants haven’t beaten the Bills since 2017, and with Buffalo resting their starters and New York led by a promising quarterback, Saturday could be their chance to snap the streak, even if it won’t count in the standings.
“Football is football. It’s the same game that you were playing as a kid. There’s no light that’s too bright to play in.”
