When does the NFL season start? Key dates ahead of 2023 NFL Draft

The 2023 NFL season is edging ever closer with anticipation for the new campaign sky high.

It's set to be a season of change after the retirement of Tom Brady, impending trade of Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets and the ongoing Lamar Jackson situation. The NFL was set alight by free agency and trading with Jalen Ramsey acquired by the Miami Dolphins from the Los Angeles Rams and Jackson revealing on Monday that he had requested a trade from the Baltimore Ravens in early March.

Jackson, 26, took to social media to outline his stance on ongoing trade rumours and making it clear that he wishes to move on from the Ravens in order to further his chances of becoming a Super Bowl winner. "You all are great but I had to make a business decision that was best for my family and I," he said.

"No matter how far I go or where my career takes me, I’ll continue to be close to my fans of Baltimore Flock nation and the entire State of Maryland. "You'll see me again."

All eyes are on where Jackson moves - and if he does - and whoever he turns out for is sure to get big billing when the 2023 NFL season gets underway. The campaign, the 104th NFL season overall, is due to begin on September 7 when defending Super Bowl LVII champions Kansas City Chiefs play in the NFL Kickoff Game at Arrowhead Stadium which will take place in primetime.

The regular season will wrap up on January 7 with the play-offs beginning six days later and the Super Bowl, which is being held at the Las Vegas Raiders' Allegiant Stadium, on February 11 with the Pro Bowl taking place a week before.
