Aria Lane4 months ago4018 min


It’s finally here: The official start to the NFL 2024 regular season.

We’ve had an intense preseason, which began with the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, where the Chicago Bears had a narrow lead versus the Houston Texans with a final score of 21-17. After a taste of what this season could have in store with three weeks of preseason games, we’re even more excited to get the 2024 NFL regular season started.

The first NFL game of the season is a showdown between the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs tonight. Week 1 doesn’t end there. Fans will have a chance to watch 14 more games, including an international game between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles in São Paulo, Brazil.

The preseason gave football fans a glimpse of the toughest teams of the season, but Week 1 is where we truly see what these athletes are bringing to the table. Rookies — like the Bears’ Caleb Williams, the Washington Commanders’ Jayden Daniels and the Patriots’ Drake Maye — will get to prove themselves on the field. Predicted top players for the year include Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Cleveland Browns defensive player Myles Garrett and the 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams.

Of course, top picks could bust, leaving room for sleepers to emerge — all the fun comes with actually watching to find out. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season, including the full schedule and best livestream options.

When does the 2024 NFL regular season begin?

The first game of the NFL regular season takes place on Thursday, September 5, 2024, with the NFL Kickoff game between the Ravens and Chiefs — a rematch of last year’s AFC championship game.
