July 22, 2025: The NFL wants people who don’t know that Training Camps are open, that Training Camps are open.
Play it forward: Super Bowl LX will be played on Feb. 8, 2026, in Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers.
For the fifth consecutive season, all 32 clubs will welcome fans back with Training Camp: Back Together Weekend presented by YouTube TV, July 26-27.
Teams will engage with people via activations including youth flag football games, community programming, giveaways and “opportunities to get closer to players.”
NFL Network, NFL+, ABC and ESPN will have coverage of the weekend, with 17 hours of live programming featuring practice footage, exclusive interviews and fanfests across the league.
“Back Together Weekend brings the energy of Training Camp directly to fans, with all 32 clubs celebrating the start of the season in their own unique way,” Peter O’Reilly, NFL evp-club business, league events and international, said via the league.
“Whether it’s youth flag games, or stadium practices that draw thousands, this weekend reflects the power of football to bring people together and connect clubs to their communities before a single game is played.”
Crucial Catch, the NFL’s early cancer detection and risk reduction initiative, will activate during training camps to raise awareness and help players and fans lower the risk of skin cancer.
