After a long offseason, the NFL regular season is finally underway. The Baltimore Ravens (0-1) and Kansas City Chiefs (1-0) kicked off the NFL season on Thursday night with an instant classic. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson hit tight end Isaiah Likely in the back of the end zone for a touchdown as time expired. However, Likely’s toe was on the line, negating the catch and ending the game with the Chiefs holding on for a 27-20 victory.

Thirteen Week 1 games will be played on September 8. It’s a new season, meaning everyone enters today with zero wins and losses. Which teams will start their seasons off on the right foot? If you love football, consider buying NFL Sunday Ticket through YouTube TV and watch every NFL game. Below, check out the NFL Week 1 schedule, with times, channels, and streaming information.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (0-0) and Atlanta Falcons (0-0) begin the season with new starting quarterbacks. The Steelers signed Russell Wilson and Justin Fields in the offseason. Wilson is projected to start, but his calf injury could force Fields to play. Meanwhile, Atlanta’s offense will be led by Kirk Cousins, who signed with the Falcons in March.

The Arizona Cardinals (0-0) are finally healthy to start a season. Franchise quarterback Kyler Murray has fully healed from his knee injury, and running back James Conner is a full-go on Sunday. For Buffalo (0-0), Bills quarterback Josh Allen enters his most important season as a pro. Can Allen finally get over the hump and bring the Bills to the Super Bowl?

The Tennessee Titans (0-0) have a new head coach patrolling the sidelines in Brian Callahan, who came over from the Cincinnati Bengals. It’s a rebuilding year for the Titans, who enter year two under quarterback Will Levis. The expectations for the Chicago Bears (0-0) are much higher with No. 1 pick Caleb Williams under center at quarterback.

For the first time this century, the New England Patriots (0-0) will have a head coach not named Bill Belichick. Former Patriots linebacker coach Jerod Mayo is the new head coach, but he inherits a weak roster with minimal offensive weapons. Conversely, the Cincinnati Bengals (0-0) have plenty of firepower on offense thanks to quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.

Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts start time, channel, and live stream

  • Stream: NFL+, Paramount+, YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV,

The hype is real for the Houston Texans (0-0), who exceeded expectations in 2023 with a trip to Divisional Weekend. As long as quarterback C.J. Stroud stays healthy, the sky is the limit for Houston. Speaking of young quarterbacks, the Indianapolis Colts (0-0) welcome back Anthony Richardson, who played four games in 2023 before suffering a season-ending injury.

2023 is a season the Jacksonville Jaguars (0-0) would like to forget. After starting 8-3, the Jaguars lost five of their last six games to miss the playoffs. On the other hand, the Miami Dolphins (0-0) made the playoffs but were embarrassed by the Chiefs in the Wild Card round. Expect this game to be extremely competitive.

Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints start time, channel, and live stream

  • Start Time: 1 p.m. ET
  • Channel: Fox
  • Stream: NFL+, YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, ,

To say things went haywire in 2023 for the Carolina Panthers (0-0) would be an understatement. Rookie quarterback Bryce Young faces seismic pressure as he enters year two. The Panthers open the season against the New Orleans Saints (0-0), a team with a coach on the hot seat.

The injury bug has hit the Minnesota Vikings (0-0) hard, with rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy out for the season. The Vikings will turn to quarterback Sam Darnold, but that could change quickly. The New York Giants (0-0) also have quarterback issues with Daniel Jones, who must show he can be a franchise quarterback, or this will be his last season for Big Blue.

Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers start time, channel, and live stream

The Las Vegas Raiders (0-0) enter the 2024 season with a new head coach, Antonio Pierce, and a new quarterback, Gardner Minshew. The Raiders’ defense must carry this team to stay alive in the playoff hunt. For the Los Angeles Chargers (0-0), Jim Harbaugh is back in the NFL after nearly a decade at Michigan. Can Harbaugh work his magic and turn the Chargers into a contender?

After a disastrous 2023 season, the Denver Broncos (0-0) enter year two under Sean Payton with a rookie quarterback, Bo Nix. If Nix becomes a game manager in Payton’s season, don’t be surprised if the Broncos win nine games. Standing across from Payton will be first-year head coach Mike Macdonald, who inherits a Seattle Seahawks (0-0) team that excelled under Peter Carroll.

Dallas Cowboys at Cleveland Browns start time, channel, and live stream

New year, same story for the Dallas Cowboys (0-0). If the Cowboys don’t make it to at least the NFC Championship, it’s considered a failure. Dallas takes on a tough Cleveland Browns (0-0) team on the road to start the season. Can Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson return to elite quarterback play, or are his best days behind him?

Washington Commanders at Tampa Bay Buccaneers start time, channel, and live stream

Things could be looking up in Washington (0-0) under new head coach Dan Quinn. The Commanders selected LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels as the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Daniels should be a human highlight reel for the Commanders. Washington’s opponent is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-0), who surprised the entire NFL in 2023 by reaching Divisional Weekend.

The best game of the day will be played on Sunday night. It’s a playoff rematch as the Los Angeles Rams (0-0) head to Michigan to play the Detroit Lions (0-0). The Lions edged out the Rams by a score of 24-23 in the Wild Card Round. This game should be close, too. Can the Rams pull through this time around?

Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens live stream: watch the NFL Divisional Round for free
Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens runs into the huddle on a football field.

The Divisional Round of the 2024 NFL Playoffs kicks off Saturday afternoon when the Houston Texans face the Baltimore Ravens. The game will air on ABC and ESPN beginning at 4:30 p.m. ET/1:30 p.m. PT on January 20. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will call the game in the booth, while Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge will provide reports from the sidelines. The game will be played inside M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

Win or lose, the 2023 season has been a home run for the Texans. Houston picked the right quarterback – C.J. Stroud – and coach – DeMeco Ryans – to lead their franchise in the coming years. The Texans enter Baltimore after a 45-14 win over the Browns in the Wild Card Round. While the Texans should be happy just to be in the Divisional Round, the Ravens have bigger plans for their season. Baltimore had the best regular season record at 13-4, so anything short of a Super Bowl appearance will be considered a failure.

Green Bay Packers vs. San Francisco 49ers live stream: watch the NFL Divisional Round for free
An aerial view of the fans in the crowd at Levi's Stadium.

On Saturday night, the Green Bay Packers head west for the Divisional Round of the 2024 NFL Playoffs to play the top-seeded San Francisco 49ers. Fox will broadcast the game starting at 8:15 p.m. ET/5:15 p.m. PT on January 20. Fox will have their top broadcast team – Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play), Greg Olsen (color), Erin Andrews (sideline), and Tom Rinaldi (sideline) – call the game from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The Packers became the first seven-seed to win in the Wild Card Round after throttling the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 48-32 last week. If quarterback Jordan Love plays like an All-Pro again, the sky is the limit for the Packers. However, the 49ers have the Packers' number, having won the last four head-to-head matchups in the postseason. For San Francisco, it's Super Bowl or bust -- anything less than that will be a disaster.
