No team scored at least 30 points during the NFL's 2026 preseason opening night on August 13. Six games were played: the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Green Bay Packers 28-9, the Arizona Cardinals defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 27-14, the Los Angeles Chargers beat the Houston Texans 27-7, the Cincinnati Bengals edged the Detroit Lions 16-14, the Tennessee Titans beat the San Francisco 49ers 19-13, and the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots played to a 13-13 tie.

The Steelers' 28 points, scored behind rookie quarterback Drew Allar's two touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown, was the highest total of the night but fell two points short of the 30-point threshold. Preseason openers typically feature limited playing time for starters and heavy rotation of backup players, which tends to suppress scoring relative to regular-season games.

The community's forecast (67% "yes") did not match the actual outcome; despite most forecasters expecting a 30-point performance, the highest score across all six games was 28.
