Let the countdown continue!

The 2025 offseason events are now all behind us. With the calendar now turning to July, the month of the Steelers report to training camp in Latrobe, let’s check back in on the official count down of the number of days to key offseason dates.

The first practice in pads is the next Tuesday on July 29, the day after their first off day.

31 days: Hall of Fame Game

This date won’t be as significant to the Steelers for 2025 as they are not playing in the Hall of Fame Game, which will kick off the weekend on Thursday July 31, 2025. It is significant because it is the start of the NFL preseason. The Hall of Fame activities will be over the course of the weekend from the game Thursday through Sunday with the 2025 enshrinement scheduled for Saturday.

40 days: The Steelers First Preseason Game

57 days: 53-man Rosters

The last four seasons where the NFL had a 17-game schedule, the final roster cut down date was the Tuesday following the final preseason games. If they stick to the same schedule this year, and there is no reason for them to change, the date would be Tuesday, August 26, 2025.
