The NFL offseason is ramping up as players will report to training camp starting this week. In less than a month’s time, teams will begin to compete in their first preseason games.

To prepare for the exciting slate to come, NFL Network released its full preseason television schedule on Monday, giving fans a chance to scout out which exhibition games they most want to watch in August.

The NFL plans to air a record 23 preseason games on NFL Network to build up to the new 17-game regular season this year. The matchups appear to be chock-full of intriguing storylines and young players on display.

The preseason slate will open on NFL Network when the Washington Football Team takes on the New England Patriots in the evening of Thursday, Aug. 12. Mac Jones figures to make his professional debut in some capacity for the Pats, which will make for an exciting meeting.

Games will continue to air throughout all three preseason weeks, with the final match-ups coming on Aug. 29. NFL Network will also show the league’s preseason slate throughout the month on a re-air basis.
