The games don’t count, the starters hardly play and everyone just wants to get through this without hurting themselves. But it’s NFL football, and we’ll take what we can get.

The preseason starts Thursday, August 4, at the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, where quarterback Trevor Lawrence (pictured above) and the Jacksonville Jaguars face the Las Vegas Raiders in primetime on NBC.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2022 is enshrined in Canton August 6 on ESPN and NFL Network. Players Tony Boselli, Cliff Branch, LeRoy Butler, Sam Mills, Richard Seymour and Bryant Young, coach Dick Vermeil, and official Art McNally will have bronze busts added to the pantheon of pigskin greats.

HBO’s Hard Knocks documentary series returns August 9, this time following the Detroit Lions’ training camp in Allen Park, Michigan. The Lions went 3-13-1 in head coach Dan Campbell’s first season, but first-round draft picks Aidan Hutchinson and Jameson Williams bring some hope. The Arizona Cardinals are featured in the second edition of Hard Knocks in Season on HBO beginning in November.

This season has big changes to the NFL’s TV landscape, with Thursday Night Football now streaming exclusively on Prime Video. Al Michaels calls the TNF games with analyst Kirk Herbstreit. Mike Tirico replaces Michaels on NBC’s Sunday Night Football. Longtime FOX broadcasters Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are now in ESPN’s Monday Night Football booth. ABC will simulcast six ESPN games and exclusively air a game in Week 2. FOX’s new lead broadcast team has Kevin Burkhardt on play-by-play with former NFL tight end Greg Olsen as analyst.

The NFL also launched the NFL+ subscription streaming service, which offers live preseason games, live local regular-season and postseason games, radio broadcasts, NFL Films content and much more.

Check out the full NFL preseason TV schedule with national and local channels, followed by NFL Network’s live and taped preseason game schedule:
