CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers released their 2024 preseason schedule on Tuesday, announcing a trio of games against AFC East opponents ahead of the regular season.
For the first time in team history, training camp will be held in Charlotte this summer. Once camp wraps up, Carolina will hit the road to face Charlotte native Drake Maye and the New England Patriots on Thursday, Aug. 8.
The Panthers will then return to the Queen City for their only home preseason game against the Jets on Aug. 17. They'll close the preseason on Saturday, Aug. 24 against the Buffalo Bills.
In addition to the home game against New York, the Panthers will have a joint practice in Charlotte with the Jets. The teams also had a joint practice and preseason game last year, with Aaron Rodgers pumping up rookie Bryce Young before his first NFL season.
The Panthers open the regular season in New Orleans on Sept. 8. Carolina's home opener will be against Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 15.
