It seems like just yesterday the confetti was falling over Super Bowl LVIII as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers and became the first repeat Super Bowl champions since the New England Patriots in the 2003-04 seasons. But after an exciting draft and eventful offseason, the NFL is officially back in regular season action tonight with the season kickoff game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs.
For the Chiefs, it’s the first game in a bid to make history: Kansas City has a shot to become the first NFL team to win three consecutive Super Bowls, an outcome that’s certainly not out of the question for Patrick Mahomes and company. For Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, it’s a chance for vengeance after their loss to KC in last season’s AFC Championship, and the start of a campaign to finally make it back to the Super Bowl.

Across the league, the kickoff game is the start of a packed weekend featuring the league’s first-ever game in South America, with the Packers taking on the the Eagles at Brazil’s Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo. That game streams exclusively on Peacock and is the NFL’s first opening week game on a Friday since 1970 (when the Los Angeles Rams took on the St. Louis Cardinals in the first regular season NFL game following the AFL-NFL merger).
And then it’s the first Sunday of a new NFL season, with a marquee matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions wrapping up the night on Sunday Night Football. But it all gets started today with the kickoff game between the Ravens and the Chiefs on NBC and Peacock.
