NFL Preseason Week 2: How to Watch Eagles vs. Cleveland Browns, Bengals vs. Giants Today
Don’t look now, but the 2022 NFL season is upon us. Training camps opened in July, preseason games started earlier in August, and the official NFL season itself begins September 8th. Each team plays three preseason games before being reduced to their final 53-man roster at the start of the season.
There are three preseason games scheduled on Sunday, two of which will be on NFL Network and the third on Fox. That Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns play at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) on NFL Network, followed by the Cincinnati Bengals with the New York Giants 7pm ET (4pm PT). The last game is today on Fox, with the Baltimore Ravens playing the Arizona Cardinals at 8pm ET (5pm PT).
