NFL Training Camp 2026: Schedule, Dates, and Locations for All 32 Teams

Football is officially back.

If you’ve been counting down the days since the Super Bowl — and let’s be honest, most of us have — your wait is almost over. NFL training camps open this week, and for real football fans, there’s nothing quite like that first report date. No padded practices yet, no regular season stakes, just 90-man rosters sweating it out in July heat while coaches try to figure out who actually belongs on their 53-man squad.

This year’s camps carry a little extra juice. Patrick Mahomes is returning from a season-ending ACL tear. Shedeur Sanders is fighting for a starting job in Cleveland. The Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers are heading to Canton, Ohio first — those two programs are slated to play the Hall of Fame Game on August 6, which means they report earlier than everyone else and get the 2026 preseason unofficially started.

Here’s everything you need to know: all 32 teams, their report dates, where camp is being held, and the joint practices and preseason matchups lined up before the real thing kicks off.

Key Dates to Know First

Before diving into the full team breakdown, here are the headline dates that matter most:

• July 17: Seattle Seahawks rookies — the first team to report in 2026
• July 22: Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers veterans report (Hall of Fame Game participants)
• July 24: New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks veterans report
• July 25: Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers report
• July 28: All remaining teams — the big wave, 26 teams reporting the same day
• August 6: Hall of Fame Game — Cardinals vs. Panthers in Canton, Ohio (first live game of 2026)
• August 30: Roster cutdown deadline — all teams trim from 90 to 53 players by 6 p.m. ET

One thing worth noting this year: the cutdown deadline falls on August 30, which is slightly earlier than usual. That’s because the 2026 regular season opens on a Wednesday rather than the traditional Thursday night kickoff. Coaches know it, players know it, and it adds a little extra urgency to every training camp rep.

AFC North

Baltimore Ravens Report date: July 28 | Location: Under Armour Performance Center, Owings Mills, Md. Joint practices: Aug. 19-20 at Vikings; Aug. 26 vs. Commanders Preseason: Aug. 15 vs. Eagles | Aug. 22 at Vikings | Aug. 28 vs. Commanders

Cincinnati Bengals Report date: July 28 | Location: Paycor Stadium, Cincinnati Joint practices: Aug. 20 vs. Bears Preseason: Aug. 13 vs. Lions | Aug. 22 vs. Bears | Aug. 28 at Eagles

Cleveland Browns Report date: July 28 | Location: CrossCountry Mortgage Campus, Berea, Ohio Joint practices: Aug. 20 vs. Bills Preseason: Aug. 15 at Bears | Aug. 22 vs. Bills | Aug. 27 vs. Patriots

Pittsburgh Steelers Report date: July 28 | Location: Saint Vincent College, Latrobe, Pa. Joint practices: None scheduled Preseason: Aug. 13 vs. Packers | Aug. 21 vs. Jets | Aug. 27 at Bills

The Steelers are one of the few teams not scheduling joint practices this preseason. That’s notable — Pittsburgh keeps it in-house, which is very on-brand for an organization that tends to value internal competition over outside looks.

AFC South

Houston Texans Report date: July 28 | Location: Houston Methodist Training Center Joint practices: Aug. 18 vs. Raiders; Aug. 26 at Panthers Preseason: Aug. 13 vs. Chargers | Aug. 20 vs. Raiders | Aug. 28 at Panthers

Indianapolis Colts Report date: July 28 | Location: Grand Park, Westfield, Ind. Joint practices: Aug. 11 at Patriots; Aug. 19 vs. Falcons Preseason: Aug. 13 at Patriots | Aug. 22 vs. Falcons | Aug. 29 vs. Lions

Jacksonville Jaguars Report date: July 28 | Location: Miller Electric Center, Jacksonville, Fla. Joint practices: Aug. 13 at Saints; Aug. 19 vs. Panthers; Aug. 25 vs. Buccaneers Preseason: Aug. 15 at Saints | Aug. 21 vs. Panthers | Aug. 28 vs. Buccaneers

The Jaguars have lined up three separate joint practice sessions — one of the most active schedules in the league. That’s a team that wants to get real looks against outside competition, and probably a coaching staff under pressure to show something early.

Tennessee Titans Report date: July 28 | Location: Vanderbilt Health Football Center, Nashville Joint practices: Aug. 11 at 49ers; Aug. 21 vs. Seahawks; Aug. 27 vs. Bears Preseason: Aug. 13 at 49ers | Aug. 23 vs. Seahawks | Aug. 29 vs. Bears

AFC West

Denver Broncos Report date: July 28 | Location: Broncos Park, Englewood, Colo. Joint practices: None Preseason: Aug. 14 at Falcons | Aug. 21 vs. Packers | Aug. 28 vs. Vikings

Kansas City Chiefs Report date: July 28 | Location: Missouri Western State University, St. Joseph, Mo. Joint practices: None Preseason: Aug. 15 vs. Rams | Aug. 22 at Buccaneers | Aug. 28 vs. Seahawks

Andy Reid running a quiet, focused camp is nothing new. The Chiefs don’t need joint practices to make noise — they’ve already made plenty of it by bringing Mahomes back into the fold after his ACL tear. Watch the early camp practices for any indication of how much they plan to limit his reps.

Las Vegas Raiders Report date: July 28 | Location: Intermountain Health Performance Center, Henderson, Nev. Joint practices: Aug. 18 at Texans Preseason: Aug. 13 vs. Cardinals | Aug. 20 at Texans | Aug. 27 vs. 49ers

Los Angeles Chargers Report date: July 28 | Location: The Bolt, El Segundo, Calif. Joint practices: Aug. 18 vs. 49ers Preseason: Aug. 13 at Texans | Aug. 20 vs. 49ers | Aug. 27 vs. Rams

NFC East

Dallas Cowboys Report date: July 28 | Location: Marriott Residence Inn, Oxnard, Calif. Joint practices: Aug. 11 at Rams; Aug. 18 vs. Saints Preseason: Aug. 15 at Seahawks | Aug. 22 at Cardinals | Aug. 28 vs. Saints

The Cowboys head back to Oxnard for camp — a sun-soaked California tradition Jerry Jones has no interest in changing. The Cowboys return to Oxnard once again, continuing one of the NFL’s longest-running training camp traditions. Whether that holds once pads go on is another question.

New York Giants Report date: July 28 | Location: Quest Diagnostics Training Center, East Rutherford, N.J. (with a stint at The Greenbrier in West Virginia) Joint practices: Aug. 20 at Dolphins Preseason: Aug. 15 vs. Vikings | Aug. 22 at Dolphins | Aug. 28 at Jets

Philadelphia Eagles Report date: July 28 | Location: Jefferson Health Training Complex, Philadelphia Joint practices: Aug. 19-20 at Patriots Preseason: Aug. 15 at Ravens | Aug. 22 at Patriots | Aug. 28 vs. Bengals

Washington Commanders Report date: July 28 | Location: Commanders Park, Ashburn, Va. Joint practices: Aug. 12 vs. Dolphins; Aug. 26 at Ravens Preseason: Aug. 14 vs. Dolphins | Aug. 22 at Lions | Aug. 28 at Ravens

NFC North

Chicago Bears Report date: July 28 | Location: Halas Hall, Lake Forest, Ill. Joint practices: Aug. 20 at Bengals Preseason: Aug. 15 vs. Browns | Aug. 22 at Bengals | Aug. 29 at Titans

Minnesota Vikings Report date: July 28 | Location: TCO Performance Center, Eagan, Minn. Joint practices: Aug. 19-20 vs. Ravens Preseason: Aug. 15 at Giants | Aug. 22 vs. Ravens | Aug. 28 at Broncos

NFC South

Atlanta Falcons Report date: July 28 | Location: Atlanta Falcons Training Facility, Flowery Branch, Ga. Joint practices: Aug. 19 at Colts Preseason: Aug. 14 vs. Broncos | Aug. 22 at Colts | Aug. 28 at Dolphins

Carolina Panthers Report date: July 22 | Location: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, N.C. Joint practices: Aug. 19 at Jaguars; Aug. 26 vs. Texans Preseason: Aug. 6 vs. Cardinals (Hall of Fame) | Aug. 13 at Raiders | Aug. 22 vs. Cowboys | Aug. 28 at Packers

New Orleans Saints Report date: July 28 | Location: Ochsner Sports Performance Center, Metairie, La. Joint practices: Aug. 13 vs. Jaguars; Aug. 18 at Cowboys; Aug. 20 at Rams Preseason: Aug. 15 vs. 49ers | Aug. 22 at Rams | Aug. 28 vs. Cowboys

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Report date: July 28 | Location: AdventHealth Training Center, Tampa, Fla. Joint practices: Aug. 11 at Jets; Aug. 25 at Jaguars Preseason: Aug. 14 at Jets | Aug. 22 at Chiefs | Aug. 28 at Jaguars

NFC West

Arizona Cardinals Report date: July 22 | Location: State Farm Stadium, Glendale, Ariz. Joint practices: Aug. 26 at Packers Preseason: Aug. 6 vs. Panthers (Hall of Fame) | Aug. 13 at Raiders | Aug. 22 at Cowboys | Aug. 28 at Packers

Los Angeles Rams Report date: July 25 | Location: Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles Joint practices: Aug. 11 vs. Cowboys; Aug. 20 vs. Saints Preseason: Aug. 15 at Chiefs | Aug. 22 vs. Saints | Aug. 27 vs. Chargers

San Francisco 49ers Report date: July 25 | Location: SAP Performance Facility, Santa Clara, Calif. Joint practices: Aug. 11 vs. Titans; Aug. 18 at Chargers Preseason: Aug. 13 vs. Titans | Aug. 20 at Chargers | Aug. 27 at Raiders

Seattle Seahawks Report date: July 17 (rookies), July 24 (veterans) | Location: Virginia Mason Athletic Center, Renton, Wash. Joint practices: Aug. 21 at Titans Preseason: Aug. 15 vs. Cowboys | Aug. 23 at Titans | Aug. 28 at Chiefs

The Seahawks are the first program of any kind to open camp in 2026 — rookies reported July 17. That gives Seattle’s coaching staff more time to evaluate a young roster before the preseason opener, which matters when you’re a team still figuring out exactly who you are.

What to Watch This Training Camp

With all 32 teams set to be in full swing by July 28, here’s what makes this particular camp season worth paying close attention to:

Mahomes’ return in Kansas City. He tore his ACL last season, and word out of OTAs has been cautiously optimistic. But there’s a big difference between OTA reps and training camp reps in pads. The Chiefs open the regular season on Monday Night Football — watch how much Andy Reid actually lets him do before Week 1.

The Browns QB room. Shedeur Sanders has reportedly been taking first-team reps and building momentum. Deshaun Watson is still in the mix on the final year of his contract. This is the most-watched competition in the AFC, and camp will go a long way toward settling it.

The Cardinals’ youth movement. Arizona is in rebuild mode and has a full four-game preseason schedule as Hall of Fame participants. More live reps means more opportunities for young players to win roster spots — and more opportunities for fans to see what this team’s next chapter looks like.

Roster Cutdown: The August 30 Deadline

Every team enters camp with 90 players. Every team must get to 53 by August 30 at 6 p.m. ET. That’s the moment rosters take their real shape — the undrafted free agents who stuck around, the veterans who got squeezed out, the late-round picks who turned into something.

It’s worth noting: with the 2026 season opening on a Wednesday instead of Thursday, that cutdown date is slightly earlier than fans are used to. Teams will have less time between the final preseason game and the deadline, which may push some decisions to be made more quickly than in previous years.

The Bottom Line

Training camp is the NFL’s most hopeful time of year. Every team is 0-0. Every fan base has a reason to believe. And every roster still has more questions than answers — which is exactly what makes this stretch from mid-July to early September so compelling.
