Get Ready for the 2024–25 NFL Season With Preseason Action

We can’t wait for the 2024 NFL preseason to start! We know that it hasn’t been that long since the Super Bowl, but the summer offseason has felt eternal! As usual, the preseason should give us a glimpse of the action we can expect, how new signings will perform, and perhaps, how new draft talent will fit into the squads.

Although there are no rankings at stake, the preseason gives teams a chance to size up against each other after their summer break, so we can expect the football to be high quality and entertaining as usual. Make sure you get ready, check out the schedule, and tune in for the matches!
