NFL PRESEASON DATES & TIMES ANNOUNCED


The dates and kickoff times for a 66-game NFL preseason schedule were announced today, beginning with an American Bowl between the New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tokyo, Japan on August 2.

 

The Tokyo game – televised live at 5:00 AM ET on ESPN2 and re-aired at 8:00 PM ET on ESPN – is the first of 11 national preseason telecasts.  It will be followed two nights later by the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game on Monday night, August 4 featuring the Green Bay Packers versus the Kansas City Chiefs in Canton, Ohio (ABC, 8:00 PM ET).
