Summary

Bills Camp Returns

The Blue & Red practice returns on Saturday, Aug. 8 at 7 p.m., the first public event in the new Highmark Stadium.
The 2026 Bills camp marks 25th season at St. John Fisher University, the NFL’s longest-running off-site camp, extended through 2028 by a three-year deal signed in October.
Executives Pete Guelli and Brandon Beane said the off-site camp builds chemistry, noting that the schedule has been reduced to seven practices from 11-12.

History

Historical Context

Founded in 1959, the Buffalo Bills have long relied on Western New York support; after Terry Pegula’s 2014 purchase and the club captured AFC East titles starting in 2020, the franchise’s recent moves toward a new stadium reflect a broader trend of leveraging regional fan bases and continue to play home games at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.
