It’s almost time. The NFL preseason recently came to an end, which means the regular season is right around the corner. But when exactly does the 2024 regular season get underway? Here’s everything you need to know about the start of the 2024 NFL campaign.
When Is the NFL’s 2024 Season Opener?
The 2024 NFL season is just days away. On Thursday, Sept. 5, the 2024 regular season will kick off with the defending-champion Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Baltimore Ravens in a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship Game.
There’s a ridiculous amount of star power in this game, from potential GOAT Patrick Mahomes, who is beginning his quest for the first three-peat of the Super Bowl era, to reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, who wants revenge following last year’s playoff loss.
