The first chapter of the Buffalo Bills 2026 NFL season begins on Saturday as the team hosts the Carolina Panthers at Highmark Stadium in a 1 p.m. kickoff in the first week of the preseason.
It is expected that starters will see playing time, but as is usually the case it's not determined how much or who. In an added bonus, this is the first time Highmark Stadium will host NFL game action.
Follow along with the action right here with Bills Wire's live blog of the game:

The Bills offense was, indeed, led by quarterback Josh Allen to start this one. The unit marched straight down the field but were stuffed. Carolina's defensive front got to Allen on back-to-back plays to force a Tyler Bass kick.
