The Cleveland Browns will host the Washington Commanders in their first home game of the 2023 NFL preseason on Friday, Aug.11. The game is scheduled to commence at 7:30 p.m. ET at the Cleveland Browns Stadium in Ohio.
The clash will be broadcast live on WEWS News 5. Fans can also stream the action live on NFL+.
The Browns are 1-0 in this year's preseason following a 21-16 win over the New York Jets in the Hall of Fame Game last week. The Commanders, meanwhile, will play their first preseason matchup after finishing fourth in the NFC East last season with an 8-8-1 record.
On Wednesday, Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson announced that he will start against Washington. The 27-year-old will be eager to get back to his best after a relatively poor campaign where he missed 11 games due to suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.
