Training camps are still in progress around the NFL, but two teams will hit the field on Thursday night to kick off the 2025 preseason: It's the Detroit Lions against the Los Angeles Chargers in Canton,

What we have Thursday night is the Hall of Fame Game, which might just be the most wasteful use of a cool name in pro sports. "Hall of Fame Game" gives the impression of something a lot better than the product on the field ever turns out to be. It sounds a lot more important than it actually is.

Pregame Coverage Begins at 7 p.m. ET with Football Night in America On-Site in Canton, Ohio, Followed by 2025 Hall of Fame Game at 8 p.m. ET
