NFL Preseason Schedule: Week 1 Slate, How To Watch

We have already been given a little taste of preseason NFL football in 2021. The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 16-3 last Thursday in the Hall of Fame Game, and it was great to see players back on the field.

But that was just one game. The real slate starts tonight.

Over the next four days, we will have 16 NFL preseason games to watch, starting with two on Thursday night. Of those 16 games, eight of them will air nationally on the NFL Network, so we thought it'd be a good idea to share the upcoming schedule.

Saturday is littered with four games, starting at 1 p.m. ET and running all the way through midnight on the East Coast. Check it out:
