The opening game pomp and circumstance is over. The Chiefs and Taylor Swift welcomed YouTube to the growing collection of streaming services to exclusively air an NFL game. Now it’s time for the league to get back to normal – with a slew of over the air matches to kick off the 2025-2026 season.
Whether you’ll be overwhelmed by couch gravity or take in the action at your favorite sports bar with friends and Fantasy Football cohorts, opening weekend is a big deal for NFL fans. It’s the end of a long, hot, pigskin-free summer. And, at this point, anyone has a chance to make it to the Super Bowl, even longshots like the Carolina Panthers, New York Giants or New Orleans Saints.
