For the second year in a row, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will open their preseason with consecutive road games. However, Buccaneer fans will be treated to their team playing on a national stage before it makes its 2017 home debut.
Tampa Bay's 2017 preseason begins with a trip to Cincinnati in Week One, a game that will be played in the range of dates from August 10-14. The following week, the Buccaneers and Jaguars will be featured on a Thursday night ESPN broadcast on August 17, with kickoff scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET at Everbank Field.
The second half of the Bucs' preseason will be played at Raymond James Stadium, with the Cleveland Browns visiting in Week Three and the Washington Redskins wrapping it up in Week Four.
