The NFL’s full regular-season schedule will be announced Wednesday and it will get full, over-the-top coverage from broadcasters, including the league’s network and ESPN. Before Wednesday arrives, football fans got some appetizers as some games were formally announced. Here’s a rundown of the early glimpse of the 2024 NFL regular-season schedule.
Week 1: Dallas Cowboys at Cleveland Browns, Sept. 8, Fox, 4:25 p.m. ET

Week 1: Baltimore Ravens at Kansas City Chiefs, Sept. 5, NBC, 8 p.m. ET
It’s a rematch of last season’s AFC championship game, where the Chiefs prevailed en route to winning their second straight Super Bowl title. Lamar Jackson vs. Patrick Mahomes is as good as it gets. So why not an early encore?
Week 1: Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles, Sept. 6, in São Paulo, Brazil
The league’s first game in Brazil features two playoff teams. It’ll also be the NFL’s first Friday game since 1970.
