NFL fans will soon rejoice. The doldrums of the 2023 offseason are nearly in the rearview mirror.
June and early July are, by design, the quietest parts of the NFL's offseason calendar. Most players and staff are getting in their final vacations before the season gets underway, so transactions usually are typically limited to minor moves.
That's not to say that nothing happens. There is occasionally a big-time trade or a last-minute free agent signing that captures the interest of the NFL world. But until training camp begins, there usually isn't much happening.
That time has now come.
NFL training camps are starting to open up; and by July 26, all of the league's 32 clubs will be in action once again.

Per usual, training camp is starting up with a slow trickle in 2023 before the floodgates open and everyone begins to play. Here's what to know about 2023 training camp including where each team is holding it and when the rookies and veterans for each squad will report.
NFL training camp dates 2023
- Rookies report: July 18-26
- Veteran players report: July 19-26
- Full-contact practices start: July 28-August 2
The start of training camp varies by team almost every year. The only time it didn't was during the 2020 NFL season when every team kept the same schedule and preseason was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As always, training camp arrivals will begin with the rookies. The opening of these will be spread out over a span of eight days and by July 26, all players, both rookies and veterans, will be at their club's designated training camp. At that point, the NFL's 32 teams will begin their ramp-up period to get ready for the 2023 regular season.
Below is a rundown of when training camp begins for each team in 2023. The report dates for the rookies and the veterans are listed; training camp doesn't start in full until veteran players are asked to report.

NFL training camp schedules 2023
NFL training camps may not all start at the same time, but they do follow the same set of rules and procedures once they open. In each of the first three days of training camp practice, there is no contact. From there, the teams gradually ramp up their physicality over the next four days — with Day 6 being a mandatory day off — before full-contact practices begin on Day 7 of camp.
Below is a breakdown of each of the training camp phases out of the chute:
| Training camp days | Schedule |
| 1-3 | No contact |
| 4-5 | Helmets and light practice gear |
| 6 | Mandatory day off |
| 7 | Fully padded practices can begin |

NFL training camp locations 2023
Almost all NFL teams host their training camps in the states where they are primarily located. There are a few exceptions to the rule — with the Cowboys' training camp home of Oxnard, Calif. standing out as the most unique arrangement — but even with many teams staying in-state for training camp, not all stay at their stadiums.
Many teams have their own training facilities. Those that don't tend to use their stadiums as their main headquarters or take up residence at college fields or other venues both public and private to get ready for the season.
Of course, team also don't just stick to one venue during training camp. They travel across the country playing one another in preseason practice and participating in joint practices designed to give talent evaluators more situations and competitive reps with which to evaluate their players.
