NFL Teams Organize Training and Preseason Schedules for 2026

NFL 球隊安排 2026 年訓練與季前賽賽程


Introduction

Several NFL teams have officially announced their training camp plans and preseason game schedules for the 2026 season.

數支 NFL 球隊已正式公佈 2026 賽季的訓練營計劃與季前賽賽程。

Main Body

The Baltimore Ravens are working to grow their presence in the region through a partnership with the University of Maryland. On August 1, the team will hold an open practice at SECU Stadium, which is the first time an NFL team has practiced at this location. This move follows the league's decision to expand the team's marketing area into Prince George's and Montgomery counties. President Sashi Brown emphasized that this initiative is designed to strengthen the team's connection with the local community.

巴爾的摩烏鴉隊正透過與馬里蘭大學合作,致力於擴大其在該地區的影響力。8 月 1 日,球隊將在 SECU 體育場舉行一場公開練習,這是 NFL 球隊首次在此地點進行練習。此舉是隨後聯賽決定將球隊的行銷區域擴展至喬治王子郡與蒙哥馬利郡。主席 Sashi Brown 強調,此項舉措旨在強化球隊與當地社區的聯繫。

Meanwhile, other teams have also set their dates for public and season-ticket practices. For example, the Washington Commanders, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, and Pittsburgh Steelers have all released their schedules. Notably, the 49ers will start their regular season on September 10 in Australia, and the game will be streamed on Netflix. Furthermore, the Tennessee Titans and New York Jets have planned joint practices, with the Titans scheduling sessions against the 49ers, Seahawks, and Bears.

同時,其他球隊也已確定公開練習與季票持有者練習的日期。例如,華盛頓指揮官、三藩市 49 人、西雅圖海鷹與匹茲堡鋼鐵人均已公布賽程。值得注意的是,49 人將於 9 月 10 日在澳洲開啟常規賽,且該場比賽將在 Netflix 上直播。此外,田納西泰坦與紐約噴氣機已計劃聯合練習,泰坦安排了與 49 人、海鷹及熊隊的對練。

Different teams are using various methods to engage with their fans. The Detroit Lions have scheduled ten public practices; however, because these tickets are free and in high demand, the process to get them is very competitive. Similarly, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks have created special themed days, such as military appreciation and youth events, to better interact with the public.

不同球隊正採用各種方式與球迷互動。底特律獅子安排了十場公開練習;然而,由於這些門票免費且需求量極高,取得門票的過程競爭非常激烈。同樣地,坦帕灣海盜與西雅圖海鷹則創設了特殊主題日,例如軍人感謝日與青年活動,以更好地與大眾互動。

Conclusion

The league is now moving from the offseason break into active training and preseason preparations.

聯盟目前正從休賽期轉入積極的訓練與季前賽準備階段。
