The NFL has released the schedule for all 256 Regular Season games for the coming season. And the year 2018 also begins with an absolute thrill: The Philadelphia Eagles meet the Atlanta Falcons!
The Philadelphia Eagles are the defending champions at the start of the Regular Season. On September 6th the Super Bowl Champion will start the new season. As opponents, no one waits less than the divisional round opponent of the pre-season: the Atlanta Falcons.
The League announced that there will be three pairings this season in the capital of England in 2018. This will be the first time that the Tottenham Hotspur will play in the stadium, marking the start of a long-term partnership.
In addition, a regular season game will also take place in Mexico City: On 19 November at prime time – German time at 2:15 a.m. on the night of 19 to 20 November – the Kansas City Chiefs will meet the Los Angeles Rams at the Estadio Azteca.
The 2018 season playoffs will start on Saturday, January 5, 2019 with Wild Card Week. The Super Bowl will take place on the night of February 3 to 4, 2019.
Before the Regular Season begins, the Preseason is still in place. Since mid-February it was already clear that the Hall of Fame Game – which traditionally opens the Preseason – would take place on August 2nd; and also who denies this: The Baltimore Ravens meet the Chicago Bears in Canton, Ohio.
Week 1 of the preseason will take place from August 9 to 13. Here is an overview of the complete Preseason schedule.
