What day does the NFL season start?
The National Football League (NFL) regular season usually begins the week after Labor Day, in early September. This is because the NFL wishes to avoid competing with college football for attention. However, the specific date of the NFL season opener can vary from year to year.
In 2019, for example, the NFL season began on Thursday, September 5th. The first game of the season was between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears. The Packers won 10-3.
It is important to note that while the regular NFL season usually begins in early September, the preseason games begin in August. These games do not count towards a team’s record for the regular season.
