Are there NFL video games on Sunday? Full preseason schedule

Just a handful of Sundays separate NFL followers from the beginning of the 2026 NFL season, and only some of them will probably be with none sort of soccer.

The 2026 NFL preseason will quickly be kicking into full swing, so soccer followers could have loads of alternatives to observe their favourite groups tune up earlier than the beginning of the season.

Football followers bought their first style of NFL motion in the course of the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame preseason recreation. The Carolina Panthers beat the Arizona Cardinals 33-30 in that contest, a stunning offensive explosion throughout which rookie quarterbacks Carson Beck and Haynes King confirmed properly and made the ACC proud.

How for much longer will NFL followers have to attend to see one other preseason recreation? Here’s what to know concerning the 2026 preseason schedule.
