Photo Year: NFL Preseason FAQ
How does NFL Preseason Photo Year work?๏ผ
You play 10 rounds from a 40-photo archive of August football: training camps, intrasquad scrimmages, the Hall of Fame Game, and preseason games. Study the uniforms, drills, stadiums, and photographic style, move the year slider, and lock in the year each shot was taken.
How is NFL Preseason Photo Year scored?๏ผ
An exact year earns 1,000 points. Your score falls gradually for every year you miss by, for a maximum of 10,000 points across the 10 rounds.
What years are included in the NFL preseason archive?๏ผ
The full pool stretches from 1935 to 2026, covering the old College All-Star exhibitions, newspaper-era preseason games, modern training camps, and current August matchups. Each game draws 10 unique photos at random.
