NFL Network will air 21 preseason games ahead of the 2025 season, beginning with an Aug. 7 doubleheader featuring the Indianapolis Colts vs. the Baltimore Ravens.
That game will be followed by Las Vegas Raiders coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith returning to Seattle to face their former team, the Seahawks.
The following day, NFL Network will air the Browns at the Carolina Panthers, expected to be the pro debuts of quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, both taken by Cleveland in the April draft.
Quarterbacks in new places will be the theme as the opening preseason weekend continues Saturday with a tripleheader. The New York Giants and their three new QBs — veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and rookie Jaxson Dart — will take on the Buffalo Bills, followed by J.J. McCarthy and the Minnesota Vikings against the Houston Texans. In the nightcap, the Justin Fields-led New York Jets will play the Green Bay Packers.
