In total, eight preseason games will be on national television. Week 2 will feature 2017 top overall pick Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns hosting the New York Giants at FirstEnergy Stadium. It will be Garrett's second home game in Cleveland after making his debut in Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints.
| Thursday, Aug. 3 | Dallas Cowboys vs. Arizona Cardinals | 8 p.m. | NBC |
| Thursday, Aug. 17 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Jacksonville Jaguars | 8 p.m. | ESPN |

Week 3, which will have a preseason-high five nationally televised contests, will be highlighted by perhaps Mitchell Trubisky's ascent to the starting position for the Chicago Bears. The third preseason week is typically when starters receive their most extensive work. It Trubisky is in the starting lineup for the Bears against the Tennessee Titans, odds are he will have beaten out Mike Glennon for the job.
Other notable games include prime-time contests for the Kansas City Chiefs and Seattle Seahawks (Aug. 25 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS) and San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings (Aug. 27 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC).
There will be no nationally televised games in Week 4, when every team will be playing Aug. 31 in preparation for the regular season.
