Browns training camp timing
The Browns started their 2026 on-field training camp on Friday, July 31, at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus in Berea, with the public open-practice schedule running through Wednesday, August 12.
That means the answer to “when do the Browns start training on the field” is late July, with the first fan-accessible practice set for July 31 and the broader camp opening earlier that week.
What that means
The team’s official public schedule listed nine open practices, all beginning at 1:30 p.m. ET, and the Browns’ training camp page says official 2026 dates were set for summer 2026.
If you mean the first on-field work in camp rather than the first open practice, ESPN’s preview said the Browns’ 2026 training camp ran from July 28 to August 25 at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus.
Practical timeline
- July 28: camp period begins.
- July 31: first open practice for fans.
- August 12: final open practice.
For the current season’s exact practice flow, the Browns’ official camp schedule is the cleanest reference.
