Week 2 NFL preseason: Schedule, full list of games, start times, TV channels, more

All 32 NFL teams are set to take the field in Week 2 of the preseason with plenty of nationally-televised games throughout the weekend. The slate will start on Thursday, Aug. 18 when the Seattle Seahawks further attempt to figure out their QB battle at home against the Chicago Bears. The weekend of action will conclude on Monday, August. 22 when the Atlanta Falcons travel to take on the New York Jets.

Both matchups have intriguing storylines as the Seahawks have yet to announce a starting quarterback between Geno Smith and Drew Lock. Meanwhile, the Jets will be without Zach Wilson, whose Week 1 status is now in question after suffering a knee injury on Friday.

All times listed are ET. Games are available on local TV networks and NFL+ unless otherwise indicated.
