The dates and times for the 2020 preseason are now set for the Cleveland Browns and the rest of the NFL.
We don’t yet know if the games will be played in front of fans, but we do know when and where every game will take place. The Browns will get a healthy dose of the NFC North, with the first three games against foes from that division.
Ironically, the traditional “Battle of Lake Erie” game against the Detroit Lions from the NFC North is not on the schedule in 2020. Cleveland will open at Chicago, return home for a date with the Packers, and then head to Minnesota.
The Vikings game is a homecoming for new Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, who spent the last several seasons coaching in Minnesota. That game will be nationally televised on FOX.
