The first matchup of the NFL's preseason will feature the Houston Texans facing off with the Chicago Bears in the league's annual Hall of Fame Game. 

Chicago and Houston were chosen for the contest, much like the participants of many previous versions of the game, due to having alumni being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame that weekend. 

The game will kick off on August 1, with the yearly enshrinement taking place August 3.  


Those being inducted in the Class of 2024 include Texans alumnus Andre Johnson and former Bears Julius Peppers, Steve McMichael and Devin Hester. 

The rest of the inductees for this year's Hall of Fame class are Patrick Willis, Dwight Freeney and Randy Gradishar.

The Hall of Fame Game has been the first contest of the league year for the last several seasons

By selecting the 49ers and Bears to compete in the Hall of Fame Game, the first NFL action from likely No 1 overall draft choice Caleb Williams will take place in Canton, Ohio. 

Chicago holds the top pick in next month's NFL Draft, with Williams being rated as the top quarterback and player in this year's collegiate class for months. 

The Bears gave away their hand at plans to draft a quarterback by trading Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this month.

The Texans are coming off one of their best seasons in franchise history, reaching the AFC Divisional Round with star rookie quarterback CJ Stroud leading the way. 

Stroud won the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year and his first gameplay in season No 2 will also take place steps from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
