The 2024 NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame Game returns this August to officially kick off the final run of preseason preparations. The showpiece friendly fixture pits two sides together to signal the return of football to the field.
The Houston Texans will feature for just the second time in this game as they face off with the Chicago Bears in the familiar surroundings of the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, located near the Pro Football Hall of Fame itself.
Since it was first played in 1962, when ground was broken for the museum that gives the game its name, this clash has typically brought together two sides to celebrate the latest class of inductees and help build excitement ahead of the upcoming NFL campaign.
As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for another Super Bowl defence across the country, though, it will be the Texans, fresh off topping AFC South last term and reaching the Divisional Playoffs, who meet the Bears, themselves still sore from a 7-10 campaign in NFC North.
It has all the makings of an exciting clash and curtain-raiser, but where will you be able to watch it all unfold this year? Allow GOAL to walk you through your guide to the 2024 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, including the date, time, TV channel, and where to stream it.
