    The NFL season has begun.

    The season kicks off Thursday night with a heavyweight matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. The game is scheduled to begin at 8:20 p.m. ET and will air on NBC.

    The NFL will also be in action Friday night, when the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles square off in the league’s first-ever game in Brazil. The game will air exclusively on Peacock and is scheduled to begin at 8:15 p.m. ET.

    There are eight games scheduled for the 1:00 p.m. ET slot on Sunday, with four games scheduled for the afternoon slot. The Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions play on Sunday Night Football, and opening week ends with the New York Jets taking on the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football.

    The network made perhaps the biggest broadcasting acquisition of the midseason, hiring seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady as its lead NFL analyst. Brady will cover games alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt, with Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi serving as sideline reporters.

    The group’s first assignment is to announce “America’s Game of the Week” in Week 1, which pits the Cleveland Browns against the Dallas Cowboys. The game is scheduled to kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET.

    Who are the hosts of Monday Night Football on ESPN?

    ESPN announced in May that the trio of Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Lisa Salters would return together for a third season on Monday Night Football.

    This coming season will mark Buck and Aikman’s 23rd season together, extending their record as the longest-tenured broadcast pair in NFL history, according to ESPN. Salters is entering her 13th season as a sideline reporter for Monday Night Football.

    “Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli” will also return for a fourth season, ESPN announced in May, adding an 11th game to the schedule.
