How to Watch the 2026 Hall of Fame Game: Panthers vs. Cardinals
Kickoff, TV channel, and streaming options for tonight's Carolina Panthers vs. Arizona Cardinals matchup, the first preseason game of the 2026 NFL season.
The Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals kick off the 2026 NFL preseason tonight in the Hall of Fame Game at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio. Kickoff is set for 8:00 p.m. ET (5:00 p.m. PT), with the game airing nationally on NBC.
What time and channel is the game on?
The Panthers and Cardinals kick off at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT tonight from Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio. NBC has the national broadcast, with the game also streaming on Peacock for anyone without access to a live NBC feed.
How can I stream it without cable?
Fubo carries NBC in most markets, along with ESPN, NFL Network and other channels that carry NFL games throughout the season, making it one of the simplest ways for cord-cutters to watch tonight's game and the rest of the schedule live.
What else is happening this weekend?
The game precedes Saturday's Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony, also at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, honoring the 2026 class: Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Kuechly, Adam Vinatieri and Roger Craig. Fitzgerald's induction adds extra local interest to Arizona's side of tonight's matchup, since he spent his entire career with the Cardinals.
Who's expected to play?
Don't expect to see much of either team's top players. Carolina is holding franchise quarterback Bryce Young out entirely, with Kenny Pickett starting and undrafted rookie Haynes King in line for extended snaps. Arizona's presumptive starter Jacoby Brissett headlines a QB room still sorting out its backup order behind him. As is typical for the Hall of Fame Game, rookies and roster-bubble players will see the bulk of the action.
