On Monday, July 18, the first two NFL teams – the Buffalo Bills and Las Vegas Raiders — opened their training camp doors for rookies to report. By Tuesday, July 26, all NFL players will report to their respective teams. This means two things. One, the NFL season is almost here! And two, it’s time for football fans (and especially fantasy football players) to keep an eye on NFL training camp battles.

Between July 26 and Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season (starting September 8), players across the league will compete for playing time and positions in their team’s starting lineup.

These NFL training camp battles feature rookies vs. veterans, last year’s stars vs. this year’s additions, and incumbent starters vs. up-and-coming former backups. The outcome of these contests can make or break a team’s season and your fantasy season as well.

In this article, you’ll find links to the top NFL training camp battles across the league. The competitions are broken down by team and position.
