The Hall of Fame Game has been held annually since 1962 and marks the arrival of the NFL preseason. It's a game that doesn't count toward either participants' preseason records, and teams are typically chosen based on the connection they have with the incoming Pro Football Hall of Fame class, which is also enshrined on the week of the action.

Well... sort of. It's the first NFL preseason game of 2025, which is known as the Hall of Fame Game. It's the one played on the field at Canton, Ohio, and this one is between the Detroit Lions and the Los Angeles Chargers.

The NFL is back! The Hall of Fame Game is upon us, featuring the Detroit Lions facing off with the Los Angeles Chargers as preseason football gets rolling.
