Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-0) at New York Jets (0-0) — Game Preview
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers open their 2026 preseason on the road against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on August 14, 2026, with both clubs sitting at 0-0 in the first exhibition game of the summer for each franchise. Neither team has taken the field yet this year, so the trip to East Rutherford gives both coaching staffs their first live look at how training camp competitions translate to game speed. Tampa Bay uses the night to evaluate depth up front and along the back end of the roster, while New York gets its own first read on a group that spent the summer install period building toward this kickoff. Preseason results carry no weight in the standings, but the snaps handed out here start shaping who sticks on each team’s roster heading into the regular season. Kickoff at MetLife Stadium is set for 7:00 PM ET, with both sides looking to avoid the kind of sloppy, early-August football that can linger into the games that count.
