How to Watch NFL Week 1 on NFL Sunday Ticket: Price, streaming service and more

Football fans, you have waited for over half of the calendar year, but it has finally arrived. Of course, we are talking about the start of the 2023 NFL regular season. 32 teams will battle to hoist the Lombardi Trophy after Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas, Nev. It all begins on Thursday, Sept. 7, when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Detroit Lions.

After the season-opening kickoff game, fans will have to wait until Sunday, Sept. 10 to watch a full slate of games. That will be worthwhile for those fans who get to sit at home, out of the cold, and watch football all day long. But for those fans who have a favorite team that is outside of their current market, they will have to find alternative means to watch.
