The Pro Football Hall of Fame Game is an annual National Football League (NFL) preseason exhibition game in Canton, Ohio, held the weekend of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's induction ceremonies. The game is played at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, part of the Hall of Fame Village and located adjacent to the Hall of Fame building. The first game was played in August 1962, the year when ground was broken for the Hall of Fame, and it was used as a fundraiser for the construction project.
The game is generally held on a Thursday since 2017 and between July 31 and August 6 and is used to mark the opening of the NFL preseason. It is anticipated by fans and viewers as the first NFL contest since the prior season's Super Bowl, held nearly six months earlier.
