The Buccaneers preseason begins Thursday night. Find information about game time and how to watch here.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers football is back! The Bucs open their preseason schedule on the road against the Miami Dolphins.

This will be everyone’s first taste of Bucs football. Although the starters may not be on the field long, it’ll be a nice sneak peek to see how Ryan Fitzpatrick leads the Bucs for a series or two.

The new-look Buccaneers defense will also spend some time together for the first time. Bucs fans will be able to get a good look at rookie cornerback duo M.J. Stewart and Carlton Davis as well.

As will be the case throughout the preseason, the key is surviving without any major injuries. At the moment, the Buccaneers are banged up along the offensive line and first-round pick Vita Vea remains sidelined as well.
