After the Lions and Chargers provided an appetizer at the Hall of Fame Game, all 32 teams will leap into action in Week 1 of the preseason. The four-day slate begins on Thursday, Aug. 7.
A number of young quarterbacks will be in the spotlight. In Baltimore, third-year pro Anthony Richardson, who was the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, will draw the start for the Colts. Richardson is looking to fend off veteran Daniel Jones for the starting job, and the two players are listed as co-starters on the first official depth chart.
Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, will return to action against the Texans after missing all of last season with a knee injury. McCarthy has big shoes to fill after Sam Darnold departed in free agency.
Meanwhile, Shedeur Sanders, whose precipitous fall became the story of the 2025 NFL Draft, is slated to be the starting QB in the Browns' preseason opener against the Panthers.
Here's everything that you need to know about watching NFL preseason action in Week 1, including TV and streaming information for every game.
