When is the First 'Thursday Night Football' Game of the 2024 NFL Season? Date, Start Time, TV Info

Patrick Mahomes - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS Lineup Picks, NFL Injury News

The 2024 NFL season is just over one month away, and we are all itching to see how the year unfolds. Since 2004 (for the most part), the reigning Super Bowl champions have played host to the kickoff Thursday night game. This season is no exception, as the Kansas City Chiefs compete against the Baltimore Ravens to begin the year.

In what will be one of the most-watched games of the year, the two quarterbacks championing their teams, Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, have each won two league MVPs since 2018. Additionally, the teams are headed by long-tenured head coaches Andy Reid and John Harbaugh. The passers and the head coaches represent incredibly high floors and high ceilings for each team.

We keep inching closer to the anticipated AFC Championship rematch, with the Ravens looking for revenge and the Chiefs looking for a strong start to a potential three-peat. Below is everything you need to know about the start of the 2024 NFL season.

 

When is the NFL Kickoff Game? Date, Time, TV Info

The 2024 NFL season kicks off with the Ravens at the Chiefs on Thursday, September 5. The game will be airing on NBC or the Peacock app for you cord-cutters out there. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. EDT, with all the hype and pregame excitement beginning with "Football Night in America" at 7:00 p.m. EDT.
