NFL training camp begins for many teams this week. What time do NFL training camps open and where will all the teams be holding them at this summer?

It’s the middle of July and that means it’s almost time for football season. Well, not exactly the meaningful football games we love to watch every week, but NFL training camp is rapidly approaching.

All 32 NFL franchises will begin their training camps in the coming days. Some will begin training camp as early as Wednesday, July 19 when some of the awestruck rookies come to town. Most teams will be holding their training camps in a nearby suburb of where they play their regular season games. Two exceptions are the Texas teams. The Dallas Cowboys will be in California, while the Houston Texans will be in West Virginia of all places.

Some teams will usher in the rookies and veterans collectively into camp. Others may choose to stagger the veterans out a few days or in some teams’ cases a week late. Either way, all 32 NFL teams will be seeing the training camps under way before the end of the month.
