Cleveland Browns preseason schedule set: Super Bowl participants, Jacoby Brissett reunion
BEREA — The preseason opponents for the Browns were revealed with the rest of the regular-season schedule last week. On Friday, they announced the finalized dates and times for their four exhibition games.
On top of the Hall of Fame Game in Canton against the New York Jets, the Browns are scheduled to play one home preseason game against the Washington Commanders on Aug. 12. They will play road games against the Philadelphia Eagles (Aug. 17) and Kansas City Chiefs (Aug. 26).
The Hall of Fame Game is at 8 p.m. Aug. 3 at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. The addition of that game has led the Browns to start training camp a week earlier.

With that early start, the Browns elected to spend some of the early portion of training camp at the Greenbriar Resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. The exact dates have not been released yet.
The only preseason game at Cleveland Browns Stadium will be against Washington at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 11. The game will feature the return to Cleveland of quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who started the first 11 games of last season during Deshaun Watson's suspension before signing with the Commanders as a free agent.
The following week, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 17, the Browns will play at NFC champion Philadelphia. That preseason game will come after two joint practices between the two teams Aug. 14-15 at the Eagles' training center.
The Browns will conclude the preseason at 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 26, at Super Bowl champion Kansas City.
Dates and times for the Browns' training camp have not been released yet.
