Dates and times announced for the Eagles preseason games

The Eagles announced the dates and times for their four preseason games.

They will open on Aug. 8 against the Chicago Bears at 8 p.m. Training camp can open 15 days before the preseason opener, so look for camp to begin around July 24.

The Eagles will then visit the New England Patriots at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 15. The two teams held joint practices in Philadelphia last summer before the preseason game, and they could do the same this season in New England.

The first home game of the preseason is on Aug. 21 against the Pittsburgh Steeler at 7:30 p.m., when fans will be able to see the Lincoln Financial Field renovations.

The preseason finale is against the New York Jets on Aug. 28 at 7 p.m.
