The countdown to kickoff is officially on. With OTAs and mandatory minicamp in the rearview mirror, the NFL has dropped the full 2026 training camp schedule for all 32 teams — and the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks get the party started first.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, reporting dates were released Monday, and the Seahawks will be the first to hit the field on July 17. That’s just a few weeks away, and fans are already buzzing about what’s to come.
For most teams, veterans will report a few days after rookies and quarterbacks, but a handful of clubs — including the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, and Pittsburgh Steelers — have both groups reporting on the same day, July 28. That late-July rush will see the bulk of the league’s veterans checking in, making it a true signal that the regular season is right around the corner.
