Fans will get their first look at the Buccaneers after the team’s first episode of Hard Knocks when they battle the Bengals on Friday night.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be the subject of HBO’s hit series Hard Knocks throughout the month of August, so it’s about that time where people become huge fans of whatever team they can watch on HBO through their training camp and preseason.

Now, fans will have a chance to watch the Bucs in action for the first time after the series’ first episode airs earlier in the week, as they travel to Ohio to play the Cincinnati Bengals in each team’s preseason opener.

The Buccaneers have a lot to look forward to during this preseason, but that also comes with a lot to work on. DeSean Jackson is the team’s biggest addition, and, depending on how much the team utilizes their starters in their preseason opener, we’ll get to see how he and Jameis Winston work together on the field in a real game environment.

On the other end, fans will get to see how Andy Dalton operates with a relatively young roster to deal with on offense, and we’ll see how the Bengals could fare in a tough AFC North that they fell out of contention in during the 2016 season.

If you’re looking to watch the game on television and are out of these two teams’ markets, you’re unfortunately out of luck as it won’t be nationally televised. However, if you subscribe to NFL Game Pass, you can check out the action both live and on replay after it’s over.
