Week 1 of the 2025 NFL preseason is officially in the books, and now fans can’t wait until the next NFL game on the schedule. Since the preseason schedule is so different from the regular-season calendar, it can be difficult to track when the next preseason contest will be played. Are there any NFL games tonight, and if not, when is the next exhibition matchup?
Is There an NFL Game Tonight?
There are no NFL games tonight. Prime Video does have a preseason Thursday Night Football game, but it isn’t until Aug. 21 when the New York Giants host the New England Patriots.
The first regular-season TNF matchup is on Sept. 11, 2025, and it’s a Week 2 contest between the Washington Commanders and Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in Wisconsin.
However, there will be a pair of preseason games on Friday, and many more contests over the weekend. Friday’s two-game slate will feature:
Tennessee Titans vs. Atlanta Falcons
- Start Time: 7 p.m. ET
- Channel: NFL Network
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Seattle Seahawks
- Start Time: 10 p.m. ET
- Channel: NFL Network
The Falcons will hope to bounce back from their 17-10 loss to the Detroit Lions on Aug. 8, while the Titans also hope for a better result than their 29-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Aug. 9.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs hope to pick up their first win in preseason play after dropping a 20-17 decision to the Arizona Cardinals on Aug. 9, while the Seahawks tied the Las Vegas Raiders 23-23 on Aug. 7.
