The New Orleans Saints finalized the times and dates for their three-game 2023 preseason series, having previously announced the matchups while waiting on the NFL to set the schedule for these exhibition games. Their first two games will be broadcast locally on FOX with the third and final game getting a national broadcast.

Here’s the Saints’ preseason schedule:

• Aug. 13: Saints vs. Kansas City Chiefs, noon CT (FOX 8)

• Aug. 20: Saints at Los Angeles Chargers, 6:05 p.m. CT (FOX 8)

• Aug. 27: Saints vs. Houston Texans, 7 p.m. CT (FOX)

New Orleans will make the most of that one road trip to Los Angeles by scheduling a couple of joint practices with the Chargers in the days leading up to the preseason game, just like they did last summer with the Green Bay Packers.

We’ll see how often the Saints play their starters and other high-profile rookies, but this should be a good opportunity for fans to get a look at the many competitions brewing for training camp as players work to lock down a limited number of roster spots.

More 2023 season!
