That said, this will mark Buffalo’s first August game ever in Tampa. The Bucs and Bills have only met four times previously in the preseason, two in Buffalo and two at neutral sites. They most recently got together for a preseason clash in Western New York in 2014, which the visiting Bucs won, 27-14. So far, the two teams have split their four preseason meetings. The Buccaneers also play the Bills in Buffalo in Week 11 of the regular season; this is the first time since 2014 that the Bucs will face the same team in both the preseason and regular season. That season, Tmapa Bay lost a home game to Washington in August but won a road game at FedEx Field in November.
The Buccaneers and Titans have a deeper preseason history, having met on 12 previous occasions, with Tampa Bay holding a 7-5 edge. That includes six games when the Titans were still known as the Oilers, including four that took place in Houston.
The Bucs will try to record their first preseason win in Pittsburgh after two previous losses, including a 30-28 decision in 2019 that was Bruce Arians’ first game at the team’s helm. Overall, the Buccaneers and Steelers have met six previous times in the preseason, most recently a 27-17 Pittsburgh win at Raymond James Stadium in 2023. The Steelers own a 4-2 edge in the series overall.
