A game between the Detroit Lions and the Los Angeles Chargers kicks off the 2025 season. Yes, they both kick off the NFL preseason.
Today July 31, both teams will face each other at the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. It will be the fourth visit to Canton for the Bengals and the third for the Chargers. Kickoff!

Time and channel for the 2025 Hall of Fame Game
- The game will kick off at 8:00 p.m. ET and can be seen on NBC and Peacock.
- Adrenaline will be running through the stands. Two legitimate Super Bowl contenders will have the opportunity to pay tribute to the immortals of the game.
- The broadcast will be handled by the Sunday Night Football team, with Mike Tirico on play-by-play, Cris Collinsworth as analyst, Melissa Stark on the sidelines and Terry McAulay with refereeing analysis.
“This game features two teams that can be considered legitimate contenders for Super Bowl LX”
“Seeing them clash right out of the gate in Canton should mark a dynamic start to another spectacular season,” the executive added.
Detroit is the home team and Los Angeles is the away team
It should be made clear that the Hall of Fame Game does not officially count. Neither for the preseason table nor for anything else. It has been played since 1962 as a symbolic act. Many consider it a general practice where pieces are adjusted.
What is certain is that it marks the official return of football after six months of inactivity.
This year, the Lions (15-2 in 2024), champions of the NFC North, will play at home. The Chargers (11-6), who qualified as wild cards, will be the visitors.
Gates, Sharpe, Allen and Allen: the connection with the Class of 2025
The four new Hall of Fame members will be in attendance at the game. Antonio Gates, Sterling Sharpe, Eric Allen and Jared Allen will parade onto the field before kickoff.
On August 1, they will receive their gold jackets, a symbol of immortality in football. The induction ceremony will be held the following day at the same stadium.
Antonio Gates played his entire career with the Chargers, which gives this exhibition game a strong emotional value.
Lions return to Canton after 40 years
It will be the fourth appearance for the Lions in this event and the third for the Chargers, who have not played here since 1994.
The Los Angeles Rams have a draw and a defeat in this scenario, including the only scoreless game in the history of the event (0-0 in 1980 against Green Bay, suspended by storm). Detroit last won in 1991 against Denver (14-3).

‘I fell asleep!’ – Bunting says fans got him through thrilling first-round win
Stephen Bunting says he "fell asleep" to give Poland's Sebastian Bialecki an opportunity to knock him out of the first round at the World Darts Championship.Bialecki was on the verge of the biggest shock yet at this year's tournament as he roared back from 2-0 down to send the match to a deciding set and led 2-1 in the final set. However, world No 4 Bunting reeled off three legs in a row to avoid a major surprise but admits he "maybe thought the game was over" after dominating the opening two sets. "That was not the plan. I felt comfortable. For whatever reason, I fell asleep and to go behind in the match was a travesty, to be honest," said Bunting, who reached the semi-finals of the World Championship last year."I felt a bit worthless, but I'm happy to […]
Wardley would welcome all-British title fight against Joshua
Fabio Wardley says he would "happily welcome" an all-British fight for the WBO heavyweight belt with Anthony Joshua as he ponders his first title defence.Wardley was elevated to WBO champion after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt when opting against defending it against the unbeaten 30 year old.

Plumpton, Lingfield and Wolverhampton feature on Monday

Patriots’ loss to Josh Allen, Bills is a slice of ‘humble pie’ — and maybe exactly what Drake Maye and Co. need
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — In the below-freezing tunnel of Gillette Stadium, Mike Vrabel held a stat sheet in his left hand and kept his right hand free for greetings.Vrabel extended a fist bump to some of his players and a reassuring chest pat to others. He was not festive but he also was not forlorn. This was not the head-hanging or tunnel walk of silence in which losing coaches so often engage.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIn fact, when tight end Hunter Henry looked down and shook his head after their encounter, Vrabel seemed intent on reminding the veteran: A 35-31 loss to the reigning league MVP and five-years-running division champions is nothing to be ashamed of.“You know what I mean? This is the National Football League,” Vrabel shouted as Henry disappeared into the locker room.Before long, receiver Stefon Diggs rounded out the group of players […]
Warriors coach Steve Kerr again pleads for gun control after latest mass shooting, this time at Brown University
Another mass shooting, another impassioned plea for gun control from Steve Kerr.The Golden State Warriors coach spoke for about three minutes unprompted on Sunday night before their 136-131 loss against the Portland Trail Blazers and again called for gun reform in the wake of a mass shooting at Brown University.“With what happened last night at Brown, it’s just a reminder to me that these shootings continue to happen, and there is something we can do about them. The loss that all of the people involved [Saturday] night, the loss that they’re feeling, it’s exactly the same loss as all the Parkland families, and every other mass shooting.“Nobody asked me about it today. I didn’t expect anybody to ask me. I doubt we’re gonna do a moment of silence out there because it’s human nature just to not want to deal […]
