While fans wait for the 2017 regular-season schedule to be released later this month, the Ravens unveiled their preseason slate that begins with a home contest against Washington on Aug. 10.
The Ravens and the Redskins will meet for the 10th time in the all-time preseason series with Baltimore holding a 6-3 edge with its NFL neighbor. The teams last met at M&T Bank Stadium in the 2016 regular season with Washington coming away with a 16-10 victory.
The second week of the preseason involves a trip to Miami against the Dolphins for the first preseason meeting between these AFC teams. It’s worth noting that the Ravens will host the Dolphins in the regular season, which makes for a mildly interesting scheduling quirk. However, this isn’t the first time such a thing has happened as the Ravens played New Orleans in both the 2014 preseason and regular season.
John Harbaugh’s team will welcome Buffalo to town for the third preseason game, which has long been considered the dress rehearsal for the regular season and the best entertainment value of the four summer contests.
Ravens season-ticket holders frustrated over the cost and quality of preseason games over the years will again take some satisfaction in knowing that the preseason finale — which typically involves very few starters and is considered virtually unwatchable by some fans — will be played on the road for the ninth straight year. The Ravens travel to New Orleans to meet the Saints, marking the fourth straight year these teams have met in the preseason.
The Ravens are 51-32 in their preseason history and 24-12 in the preseason under Harbaugh.
Final dates and times will be announced at a later time.
