Saints Vs. Jaguars: Preseason Week 1 Open Thread

The New Orleans Saints begin the 2026 preseason at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars today. Although wins and losses “don’t mean anything” in the preseason, it would be great to see the Saints come out strong in the preseason opener. The Saints have continued their transformation this offseason, led by second-year Head Coach Kellen Moore and Quarterback Tyler Shough. Now is the time to see where these sophomores take the franchise in year two.

Those of you in the local New Orleans market will be able to watch the game live on FOX 8 (WVUE), while the rest of us will be able to watch live on the ESPN Unlimited app or wait for the NFL Network replay after midnight. Here’s to a great showing from the Saints and leaving the game as healthy as they arrived!
