There is one NFL game listed for Sunday, Aug. 23, 2026: the Tennessee Titans vs. the Seattle Seahawks at 8 p.m. Eastern. USA TODAY lists Fox as the broadcaster. That answers the immediate schedule question, but the available evidence does not establish local affiliate coverage, streaming availability, blackout rules or which players will be active.
The confirmed NFL schedule for Sunday
The matchup is scheduled for Nissan Stadium in Nashville, according to the supplied USA TODAY report. It is the only game listed for Sunday in the report’s Week 2 preseason schedule.
- Teams: Tennessee Titans vs. Seattle Seahawks
- Kickoff: 8 p.m. ET
- Television: Fox
- Date: Sunday, Aug. 23, 2026
The report places the game after Saturday’s group of preseason contests and describes it as the final remaining game before the schedule moves to the final week of the preseason. That makes the Sunday matchup the day’s sole NFL viewing option in the supplied schedule, rather than part of a larger afternoon slate.
What the broadcast listing does—and does not—confirm
A Fox listing identifies the national network named in the report, but it is not enough to determine how every viewer will receive the game. The evidence pack does not provide local affiliate information, a confirmed streaming service, international distribution details or blackout guidance. Viewers should therefore verify the listing with their local Fox station or their television provider before kickoff.
The supplied report also includes a promotional reference to Fubo, but that mention does not independently establish current eligibility, pricing or availability. Those details are not included here because the evidence does not verify them.
The player storyline is still a preseason question
USA TODAY identifies Seattle quarterback Cam Ward as a player drawing attention after struggles in the preseason opener. That is a reported storyline, not proof of a final roster decision, a change in playing time or an injury designation.
Preseason games can be used to evaluate players competing for roles, but the supplied evidence does not state how long Ward or any other player will play Sunday. It also does not provide an official inactive list, injury report or depth-chart decision. Those details should be treated as unresolved until the teams or the league publish them.
Why the game is being presented as a Sunday-night test
The report says the contest is nationally televised and describes it as a trial run for the NFL on Fox crew before regular-season games begin in September. That explains the broadcast framing, but it should not be confused with a regular-season Sunday Night Football game. The report specifically distinguishes it from the traditional NBC program.
For viewers, the practical consequence is simple: the game is scheduled for Fox, but the evidence does not show whether every market will carry it in the same way. For teams, the preseason setting means the broadcast may offer evaluation value without confirming regular-season lineups or roles.
What remains to be verified
The current evidence supports the basic schedule, but it is narrow. A second supplied NFL-related document concerns a historical ticket-refund policy for a possible 2011 work stoppage and does not corroborate the 2026 game listing. A separate Yahoo Sports document concerns 2020 ticket policies and also does not verify Sunday’s matchup.
That leaves three useful checkpoints for readers: confirm the local Fox listing, check official team or league availability information, and look for the game-day active and inactive designations. Until those items are published, the matchup, kickoff time and network are the confirmed portion of the schedule; access details and player participation remain open.
The immediate answer is narrow: the 2026 NFL schedule supplied here lists one Sunday, Aug. 23 game, with Tennessee hosting Seattle at 8 p.m. ET on Fox. The useful distinction is between the schedule claim and the access questions around it. A network listing does not independently confirm local affiliate carriage, streaming eligibility or blackout rules, and the evidence does not establish which players will take part. USA TODAY highlights attention on Cam Ward after his preseason opener, but that is a storyline rather than an official roster or injury update. The next meaningful verification point is game-day broadcast and active-list information.
