Week 1 of the 2025 NFL preseason has ended, bringing excitement and anticipation as fans got their first taste of football action. However, with two more preseason games ahead, the real roster battles are heating up.
As we wind down from an exciting first week that saw Shedeur Sanders and other rookies make their NFL debuts, many wonder what’s next. Specifically, fans want to know whether there’s any Monday Night Football to tune into tonight and when the next preseason matchups begin.
When Is the Next NFL Preseason Game?
The NFL preseason ended with the Los Angeles Chargers’ blowout victory over the Detroit Lions in the Hall of Fame Game. The momentum continued with an exciting week from August 7 to 10, during which all 32 teams played a game each.
However, there are no NFL games tonight, and the next exhibition contest will be on Friday, August 15, when two games are on the slate. This brief pause gives teams time to evaluate the film and adjust their approach for the upcoming contests.
While the starters often sit out, the preseason is where roster spots are won and lost. It’s a golden opportunity for under-the-radar players to make their case, and for fans to spot hidden gems fighting to earn a place on the final 53-man roster. These games showcase the depth of talent across the league and often reveal surprise performers who could impact the regular season.
So, let’s get straight into the complete NFL preseason schedule for the remaining two weeks.
