When Will The First NFL Game Be Played?

The first NFL game of the season will be played on Thursday, September 10th.

Introduction

The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America, and the highest professional level of American football in the world. NFL games are divided into four fifteen-minute quarters, unlike college football which plays for two thirty-minute halves. The current NFL champions are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who won Super Bowl LV in February 2021.

The regular season begins on the Thursday night of the week after Labor Day, and ends on New Year’s Day. Each team plays sixteen games during the regular season, with seventeen weeks in total. One bye week is given to each team between Weeks 4 and 12.

The NFL Playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the end of the regular season to determine the NFL champion. Six teams from each conference (including four division winners and two wild card teams) advance to the playoffs, seeded according to regular season records. The playoffs culminate with the Super Bowl, which is usually held on the first Sunday in February and is played between the champions of each conference.

The NFL is targeting a September 10th start date

The NFL has been working tirelessly to ensure that the 2020 season can be played in as safe a manner as possible. In light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the league has made a number of changes to its operations. One of the most significant changes is the target start date for the season.

The NFL is targeting a September 10th start date for the 2020 season. This would pushed back the start of the season by almost a month from its original start date of August 2nd. The reason for this delay is to allow more time for COVID-19 testing and to ensure that all players and staff are healthy and safe.

While the September 10th start date is not yet set in stone, it seems increasingly likely that this will be the case. The NFL has been in constant communication with health experts and government officials to ensure that they are making the best decisions for all involved. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.

The NFL is prepared to play games without fans

The National Football League is prepared to play games without fans if the coronavirus pandemic forces a change in its plans, Commissioner Roger Goodell said on Thursday.

“We are prepared to adjust our plans if necessary, including playing all games without fans in attendance,” Goodell said in a statement.

Goodell’s comments come as the league continues to plan for the start of its season amid the ongoing pandemic. The NFL has already made a number of changes to its schedule and operations in order to try and mitigate the risks posed by the virus.

Those changes include limiting the number of players who can be in team facilities at one time, holding training camp at team facilities instead of at college campuses, and cancelling all preseason games.

The NFL is scheduled to begin its regular season on September 10th, with the Super Bowl set to be played on February 7th, 2021.
