Back Together Weekend Unites Fans with NFL Training Camps Nationwide

For the fifth consecutive year, all 32 clubs will welcome fans back with Training Camp: Back Together Weekend Presented by YouTube TV, a league-wide celebration taking place July 26-27. Across two days, teams are opening their doors for the season with fan-first activations, including youth flag football games, community programming, giveaways, and opportunities to get closer to players than ever before. NFL Network, NFL+, ABC and ESPN will deliver wall-to-wall coverage of the weekend, with 17 hours of live programming featuring practice footage, exclusive interviews, and fanfests from across the league. NFL Network’s Inside Training Camp coverage continues Monday, July 28, through Wednesday, Aug. 6.

“Back Together Weekend brings the energy of Training Camp directly to fans, with all 32 clubs celebrating the start of the season in their own unique way,” said Peter O’Reilly, NFL executive vice president of club business, league events and international. “Whether it’s youth flag games, or stadium practices that draw thousands, this weekend reflects the power of football to bring people together and connect clubs to their communities before a single game is played.”
