NFL clubs begin on-field preparations for the 2023 season this week. The defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs are one of nine teams with rookies reporting today, along with Atlanta, Baltimore, Buffalo, the Los Angeles Chargers, Miami, New Orleans, the New York Giants and San Francisco.
The New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns will be the first two clubs with their entire teams on-site. The Jets have rookies and veterans reporting on July 19, and the Cleveland Browns have rookies reporting on July 19 and veterans on July 21. The teams will meet in the NFL/Hall of Fame Game on August 3 (8 PM ET, NBC) in Canton, OH. Veterans will report on Tuesday, July 25 for every club except the Jets (July 19), Cleveland (July 21), Detroit and Kansas City (July 22), and Pittsburgh (July 26).
All 32 clubs will kick off training camp with practices and club-led fan events. NFL Network and NFL+ will provide complete coverage of the action. This year, the training camp celebrations will expand to two days: Saturday, July 29 and Sunday, July 30.
Beginning at 9 AM ET on July 29, NFL Network will provide 12 hours of live coverage. NFL Network's coverage of training camps will air through Wednesday, August 9, providing eight hours of live coverage beginning each day at 10 AM ET.
Seven clubs will hold camp away from their facilities – Buffalo (St. John Fisher University in Rochester, NY), Carolina (Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC), Dallas (Marriott Residence Inn in Oxnard, CA), Indianapolis (Grand Park in Westfield, IN), Kansas City (Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, MO), the Los Angeles Rams (University of California, Irvine) and Pittsburgh (Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA).
The 25 clubs (78%) opting to "stay home" this summer trails only 2021 for the most since 2000 (excluding 2020). Teams considered to be staying home hold camp at their practice facility, home stadium or at a site within 10 miles of their team headquarters. In 2000, only 10 of 31 (32 percent) teams stayed close to home.
