CHARLOTTE - The Panthers will face AFC opponents in each of their four preseason games, opening the schedule on the road against the Buffalo Bills in early August.
Carolina will close the preseason with a road game August 30 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the 16th consecutive season that Carolina and Pittsburgh have wrapped up the preseason against each other. In between the road trips, the Panthers will host the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots, meaning Carolina will face every AFC East team except the New York Jets.
The slate is exactly the same as the 2015 preseason schedule, a season that ended with a trip to the Super Bowl.
