New York Giants Unveil 2026 Training Camp Schedule; Jets Confirm Practice Venue

The period between the end of minicamp in mid-June and the start of training camp in mid-July is described as the “deadest part of the NFL offseason,” a three- to four-week interval during which fans await the return of football.

Sessions are scheduled for Thursday, July 30; Friday, July 31; Saturday, August 1 (designated “Back Together Weekend”); Wednesday, August 5; Thursday, August 6; and Friday, August 7.
