Once we approach the dog days of summer, the 2023 NFL offseason continues with its mandatory portion, with training camps getting underway. The start of training camps means we are officially into the real beginning of the 2023-2024 NFL season. Let’s take a look at when each of the 32 NFL teams will report for their 2023 training camps, and where the franchises are basing themselves for this period.
When and Where Are the 2023 NFL Training Camps?
The beginning of the NFL’s 2023-2024 season really starts with training camps. Most of the work being done in the spring is part of the voluntary offseason program, with the exception of a rookie minicamp and a mandatory minicamp for veterans. Training camp is exclusively dedicated to tackling the 2023-2024 schedule.

Many teams hold NFL training camps at off-site locations and even spend time away from their families. Think of the Gettysburg trip from Remember The Titans. Teams do this to build camaraderie, remove distraction, and drill down on the nuance of what lies ahead.
Still, some teams believe the closeness to home and the value of a consistent routine is a better time spent for their players. Those teams will hold camp at their own facilities in their own backyards so the players and coaches can stay in the routine they will be in for the regular season.

Who Will Be Attending NFL Training Camp?
The dates for reporting to training camps are mandatory. Therefore, all players on the team’s current roster are expected to attend, regardless of injury or tenure status. The NFL returned to 90-man roster sizes for the 2021 season and is expected to remain there for the 2023 season.

Rookies and veterans have different reporting dates. This gives the rookies an opportunity to get acclimated and a bit of a head start prior to the veterans showing up. Injured players are expected to attend as well, as they will begin their team-approved treatment plans in order to get them back on the field.
Some teams may have a player or two hold out from training camp due to a contract dispute. That player will accrue fines until he returns or the dispute is resolved. A holdout can last all of camp into the regular season until Week 10. If that dispute is not resolved by then, the player will have to sit out the remainder of the season.
What Should We Expect From NFL Training Camp?
Much like the way the start dates for training camp are closely controlled by the CBA, so is the process for the beginning of training camp. There is a five-day acclimatization period followed by an off day. Only then will players wield pads for the first time as they head into two-a-day practices.
During the five-day acclimatization period, the following ramp-up process takes place. The first day is dedicated to physicals, meetings, and classroom instruction. Players can take to the field only for running and conditioning.

On Days 2 and 3, players can wear helmets and special protective shirts are allowed for full-speed practice. Days 4 and 5 see players wearing “shells and spiders” for full-speed practice. At no point during those first five days is live contact permitted.
Training camp is also the time for position battles. New and returning players will not just be battling for spots on the roster but spots in the lineup as well. Coaching staffs will design training camp sessions with the knowledge these battles will take place in the hopes they have an answer when the regular season comes around.
