Nothing tells you the NFL season is approaching like training camp.

While that is still 7-8 weeks away, on Wednesday, the Steelers announced their schedule for their annual trip to Latrobe.

Here is everything you need to know about the three-week stretch that will be critical in the Steelers' season...

Steelers announce training camp dates

Steelers Training Camp will kick off at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa. when the players report on Wednesday, July 23. This will be the 58th year that Saint Vincent College will be the Steelers summer home.

The first practice open to the public will be held on Thursday, July 24 at 1:55 p.m. Things always get interesting when the pads go on, and the first padded practice will take place on Tuesday, July 29, also scheduled for 1:55 p.m.

An annual highlight of training camp is the 'Friday Night Lights' practice, which will be held on Aug. 1 at Latrobe Memorial Stadium at 7 p.m.

The final practice open to the public at Saint Vincent College will be on Tuesday, Aug. 13 at 10:30 a.m. The team will hold a joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday, April 14 at Acrisure Stadium, and the practice is not open to the public.

One of the best parts about the Steelers' annual trip to Latrobe is that the Steelers almost always have every pratice open to the public. This year is no different, and the Steelers will continue their trend of having Monday's off.

Unlike last year, however, most of the Steelers' practices are set for the afternoon, around 2:00 p.m. to be exact. This is similar to 2023, but last year, the team practiced around 10:30 a.m., as Mike Tomlin noted the eating schedule of some of his players as to why they changed it.

Either way, it will be a big time year yet again in Latrobe.
