<Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> TBA </Td> </Tr> <P> The Pro Football Hall of Fame Game is an annual National Football League (NFL) exhibition game that is held the weekend of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's induction ceremonies . The game is played at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, which is located adjacent to the Hall of Fame building in Canton, Ohio . It is traditionally the first game played in the NFL preseason for any given year, marking the end of the NFL's six - month off - season . </P> <P> The two teams that play in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game are typically selected by the league in advance of the remainder of the preseason schedule . The participants are usually announced around the time that the new Hall of Fame members are announced, which coincides with Super Bowl week . Often, if a particularly notable player will be entering the Hall of Fame that year, a team they were strongly associated with may be selected to play in the game to help maximize attendance and publicity of the game itself . From 1971 to 2010, the opponents for each game usually included one AFC team and one NFC team . In 2009, as recognition of the 50th anniversary of the American Football League, the game paired two AFC teams who were part of the "original eight" franchises of the AFL, the Tennessee Titans (dressed as their previous incarnation, the Houston Oilers) and the Buffalo Bills, whose owner, Ralph Wilson, was inducted into the Hall that year . An all - NFC matchup was scheduled for 2011, but it was canceled due to the 2011 NFL lockout; the following year, another intra-conference matchup of two NFC teams took its place . From 2011 onward, each team selected to play in the game has had at least one prominent alumnus being inducted into the Hall that year . </P> <P> Because this game and the Hall of Fame's induction ceremonies are scheduled on the weekend before the league's regular four - week exhibition season begins, both teams end up playing five exhibition games instead of the normal four, and unlike the Canadian Football League (which plays its two - game exhibition season over three weeks), the league does not remove antone . The last four expansion teams to have been added to the league each played in the Hall of Fame Game as their first game . In 1995, expansion clubs Jacksonville and Carolina played each another, and in 2002, Houston was one of the participants . When the Cleveland Browns returned to the league with a rebooted roster in 1999, they too played in the Hall of Fame Game . The Baltimore Ravens, while officially considered as being established in 1996, did not play in the Hall of Fame Game until 2018 . With the Ravens' participation in the 2018 game, all 32 current NFL teams have now played in the Hall of Fame game at least once . </P>
