Cleveland Browns announce nine free open practices for 2026 training camp at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus

The Cleveland Browns will make 2026 training camp more accessible to local fans, announcing that the team will host nine free open practices during its summer sessions at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus in Berea, Ohio.

The team’s annual training camp experience is branded as “Training Camp, Built By Gregory Industries,” and this year’s fan-access programming is listed as being in association with Fastenal and RC Cola. The Browns did not indicate any purchase requirement for the open practices in their announcement, framing the events as opportunities for the public to see the club work on-field in person.

The first open practice is scheduled for Friday, July 31. The team’s release centers on that date as the start of the nine-practice run, implying multiple additional open sessions across camp, but the announcement item provided does not specify the full calendar for each practice.

From an NFL operations standpoint, the open-practice model matters because it offers a controlled window of visibility into the way a team installs new systems and builds depth across positions. While training camp practices are not games, they are often where coaching staff establish competitive rhythms, evaluate young players, and refine timing on both sides of the ball.

For Browns supporters, these free practices also add a consistent local event component during the summer, particularly since CrossCountry Mortgage Campus serves as the regular hub for the team. Turning practices into fan-facing opportunities can strengthen year-round engagement, not just on Sundays during the regular season.

The Browns’ use of corporate partners in the camp branding underscores how training-camp programming has evolved into an experience beyond drills. By listing Fastenal and RC Cola alongside the “Built By Gregory Industries” designation, the team is positioning the open practices as a broader community offering at its training facility.

As the summer approaches, the key item for fans will be the full breakdown of dates and any attendance procedures tied to the remaining eight open practices after July 31. Watch the team’s official training camp communications for practical details such as arrival guidance and any updated policy information related to admission for the other sessions.
