How to watch the 2023 NFL preseason opener

  The 2023 Hall of Fame Game will feature two teams the NFL world is going to be paying a lot of attention to this year. From Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, the Browns will be in their backyard to take on the Jets Thursday in the preseason opener.

Starters don’t have much of a presence in the preseason at all, let alone the Hall of Fame Game, so don’t expect to see Aaron Rodgers or Deshaun Watson under center. Rather, this game is going to be a tune-up for some and a chance to battle for a roster spot for others.

It’s NFL fans’ first taste of live-action football since the Chiefs defeated the Eagles in the Super Bowl, which is enough of a selling point for those looking to get a glimpse of game speed again.

Streamers will be able to watch the game on NBCSports.com, Peacock, or Fubo, which comes with a free trial.
