NFL announces 2021 preseason schedule

After a year away because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the NFL preseason is back.

It’s one week shorter than it used to be, but don’t worry — we’ll be getting that week back during the regular season as every team will now play 17 games that count, up from 16 in previous years.

The NFL released its 2021 preseason schedule Thursday morning. It starts with the Hall of Fame game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys on Aug. 5 and wraps up with a slew of games Aug. 27-29.

The regular season starts Sept. 9 with the Cowboys visiting the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a Thursday night game.
