Who knew the NFL could turn something as mundane as a schedule release into a weeklong media event? The New Orleans Saints are scheduled to play both the Dallas Cowboys (away) and Cleveland Browns (at home) in 2024, but they won’t see either of those teams in Week 1. But Tom Brady will, and FOX Sports is expecting quite a crowd.
FOX Sports’ Michael Strahan announced Monday that Brady will be on the call for his first game in the booth, with the Cowboys visiting the Browns in Week 1. Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 8 at 3:25 p.m. CT. Brady is making his broadcasting debut after inking an unprecedented $375 million contract with FOX Sports before he even finished his playing career.
So we’re still waiting to see who the Saints will kick off their season with. With earlier slots on Thursday and Friday being filled by high-profile matchups (including other Saints opponents this year like the Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles), it’s looking like the Saints will start their season either on Sunday, Sept. 8 or Monday, Sept. 9. You can find their full list of opponents here, with the 2024 schedule release airing on Wednesday, May 15. Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.
