Pro Football Hall of Fame Game

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pro Football Hall of Fame Game is an annual National Football League pre-season exhibition game that is held the weekend of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's induction ceremonies. The game is played at Fawcett Stadium, which is located next door to the Hall of Fame building in Canton, Ohio.

The two teams that play in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game are selected by the league. Because this game and the Hall of Fame's induction ceremonies are scheduled on the weekend before the league's regular four-week pre-season begins, both teams end up playing five pre-season games instead of the normal four.

From 1999-2005, the game was held on Monday night, televised as part of ABC's Monday Night Football package. It had previously been held typically on Saturday afternoons. Starting in 2006, it was moved to Sunday night, coinciding with the new NBC Sunday Night Football television package.
