The 2021 NFL season is set to begin on September 9th. Get all the details on what to expect from this year’s season.
Introduction
The 2021 NFL season is right around the corner and fans are wondering when it will start. The answer is that the regular season will begin on September 9th, 2021. However, there are a few things that need to happen before that date.
First, the NFL Draft will take place from April 29th-May 1st. This is when all the NFL teams will select the college players they want to sign to their team.
Then, training camp and preseason games will take place throughout the month of August. Training camp is when the NFL teams get ready for the regular season by practicing together and playing a few exhibition (preseason) games.
After training camp and preseason are over, the regular season will finally begin!
What Happened in 2020?
The COVID-19 pandemic caused the 2020 NFL season to be pushed back from its original start date in September. After much discussion, it was decided that the season would begin in October and end in January, with a slightly modified schedule and playoff format.
Despite the challenges faced last year, the NFL was still able to produce an exciting season full of comebacks, “upsets”, and great individual performances. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led by veteran Quarterback Tom Brady, won the Super Bowl in a dominant 31-9 victory over the defending champions, the Kansas City Chiefs.
This year, the NFL is hoping to return to a more normal schedule, with training camps opening in late July/early August and the regular season set to begin on September 9th. So far, everything appears to be on track and fans are eagerly awaiting the start of what promises to be another great season of football!
The Current Situation
The current situation is that the 2021 NFL season is set to start on September 9th. However, there are still some unresolved issues that could delay or even cancel the season. The most pressing issue is the ongoing negotiations between the league and the players’ union over the league’s new Collective Bargaining Agreement. If an agreement is not reached, there is a possibility that the season could be delayed or cancelled.
