The 2024 NFL Preseason is finally here, with teams set to spend August fine-tuning their plans for the new season over a series of exhibition matchups against teams around the league.
Thirty-two teams, from the Kansas City Chiefs to the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks to the Jacksonville Jaguars, will play three weeks of road action, home and away, before reducing their rosters to the final 53-man squad.
Preseason matches give this year's rookie class a chance to make their first impression in games and give fans a chance to see their favourite teams in action before the results really count.
