Tampa Bay will host the Miami Dolphins the following week between August 15 and 19 for an in-state showdown.
On Week 3 of preseason, the new-look Cleveland Browns will be in town between August 22 and 25 at Raymond James Stadium. The visiting Browns generated a lot of buzz in the offseason after acquiring star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. from the New York Giants.
The Bucs will wrap up preseason with a Week 4 matchup against the defending NFC East champions Dallas Cowboys. Kickoff for that game is set for either August 29 or 30.
