Hall of Fame Game returns to ABC

The 2024 Hall of Fame Game will be broadcast on Aug. 1 by ABC and ESPN.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame said Thursday this will be the first time ESPN has aired the game. It's sister network, ABC, had rights to the Hall of Fame Game from 1971-2005.

This year's preseason game in Canton, Ohio, will feature the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans.

ESPN's "Monday Night Football" crew of Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Lisa Salters will call the game.

Aikman, the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys from 1989-2000, was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 2006.
