It’s finally here! The long-awaited start to the NFL preseason. This week, all 32 teams will be in action as they look to prepare for the regular season.
Introduction
The National Football League (NFL) preseason is the period each year during which NFL teams play several not-for-the-record exhibition games before the regular season.
The NFL preseason generally occurs in late August or early September, with four weeks of exhibition games prior to the start of the regular season. The start of the preseason is contingent on the completion of training camp, which begins in late July or early August.
The NFL regular season typically runs from early September to late December, with each team playing 16 games. The playoffs then follow, culminating in the Pro Bowl (an all-star game) and the Super Bowl (the league championship game) in January or February.
What is the NFL Preseason?
The National Football League preseason is the period each year during which NFL teams play several not-for-the-record exhibition games before the regular season.
Why Do Teams Play in the Preseason?
The National Football League (NFL) preseason is a collection of exhibition games played before the regular season by teams from the National Football League (NFL). Although NFL exhibition games have been held since the 1920s, the modern-day preseason mainly refers to the four or five games played each summer before the start of NFL training camp in late July. These are typically referred to as “warm-up” or “tune-up” games.
The purpose of the preseason is to prepare teams for the regular season. It gives coaches a chance to evaluate players and decide which ones will make the final cut for the 53-man roster. It also gives players a chance to knock off any rust that may have accumulated during the offseason and get back into game shape. In addition, it helps teams work out any kinks in their game plan and develop team chemistry.
The preseason is also important for generating revenue. Although ticket prices are usually lower than they are for regular season games, stadiums are still typically filled to capacity. Preseason games are also broadcast on national television, which helps generate advertising revenue.
What Happens During the Preseason?
During the NFL preseason, each team plays four exhibition games. These games are used to help the coaches determine which players will make the final 53-man roster.
The starters generally play for the first half of the first two games and then see limited action in the third game. They do not play at all in the fourth and final preseason game. This game is typically used to give playing time to players vying for a spot on the roster.
