Titans fans, grab your gear — football season is back. Let’s break down everything to know before the team’s only home preseason game on Friday, Aug. 22 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Quick huddle

Quarterback Will Levis is sidelined for the year following offseason surgery, putting rookie Cam Ward — the team’s No. 1 draft pick — directly in the spotlight. Fans will be watching to see how Ward adjusts to the NFL as head coach Brian Callahan enters his second season.

Off the field, construction continues on the new Titans stadium, so parking remains limited. This transportation guide may come in handy.

Experience game day

  • In-person: Score single-game tickets via Seat Geek and the NFL Ticket Exchange. If you’re curious about your seat view, check out this interactive map.
  • At home: Bookmark the TV schedule for each week’s CBS/Paramount+ and FOX broadcasts. The Titans join just two other teams without a single primetime game this season.
  • Watch parties: Watching from home is fine, but Nashville has plenty of places to soak up the game-day atmosphere.

  • Week 2: Titans vs. Rams | Sunday, Sept. 14 at 12 p.m.
  • Week 3: Titans vs. Colts | Sunday, Sept. 21 at 12 p.m.

A quick Nissan Stadium survival guide:

  • Take a game day train ride or water taxi via The Titans Express and Nashville Water Taxi.
  • Parking passes are sold out — here’s a list of helpful parking FAQs. Traffic patterns may vary game to game.
  • Fans of legal drinking age can sign a pledge not to drink and become designated drivers for their group — this earns you a token redeemable for free soft drinks at the concessions.
