The New Orleans Saints are giving fans plenty of chances to see camp up close this summer, with 10 practices set to be open to the public across training camp and the preseason.
Most of the action will come at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center in Metairie, where the Saints will hold eight open sessions before heading out for preseason road games against the Los Angeles Rams and Dallas Cowboys. The schedule also includes two joint practices and a return to Tulane’s Yulman Stadium.
Here are the dates fans can circle:
July 30: Open practice (Metairie, La.)
July 31: Open practice (Metairie, La.)
Aug. 2: Open practice (Metairie, La.)
Aug. 3: Open practice (Metairie, La.)
Aug. 5: Open practice (Metairie, La.)
Aug. 8: Open practice (Metairie, La.)
Aug. 9: Open practice (Metairie, La.)
Aug. 13: Joint practice with Jacksonville Jaguars (Metairie, La.)
Aug. 18: Joint practice with Dallas Cowboys (Oxnard, Calif.)
Aug. 26: Open practice at Yulman Stadium (New Orleans, La.)
In Metairie, all open practices will run from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., with gates opening at 8:15 a.m. If bad weather pushes the team indoors, the session will be closed to the public.
Admission is free, but capacity is limited, so fans will need to reserve tickets ahead of time. Season ticket holders get first access on July 13, and the general public can claim tickets starting July 14.
For fans who can’t make it in person, the Saints said they’ll provide live coverage through their mobile app for the first time this year.

The Ole Miss defensive tackle arrives with the sort of size and athletic traits that can make a coaching staff pause, especially when a team is looking for interior help and willing to bet on upside as training camp approaches.
The Saints are still sorting out exactly what Harris can become at the next level, which is why he is worth keeping an eye on once the pads come on.

Alvin Kamara Suddenly Faces A Real Saints Roster Cliffhanger
Alvin Kamaras place in New Orleans suddenly looks a lot less secure than it did not long ago. The Saints running back is coming off a season in which he posted a career-low 657 scrimmage yards and only one touchdown, and his availability has become part of the conversation too after missing 13 games over the past three years.
Now the roster picture has gotten even murkier with the Saints adding Travis Etienne Jr., and Kamaras contract is part of the equation as well. His $11.5 million salary in 2026 is a major number to watch, and after a stretch of uneven production and missed time, the question is whether New Orleans can still justify keeping him in place.
