NFL 2021 Week 1: Coverage map, TV schedule, channel and time

As we get into the first week of the 2021 NFL regular season, fans will be itching to get back to stadiums after an entire season away from the field because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

But even for ones who can't go to live games, watching on TV is something we've all been missing since the Super Bowl. It's been seven long months without the NFL, and we're all happy the league is back.

The 2021 NFL season kicks off with the Dallas Cowboys traveling to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers, the reigning champions.

Other interesting Week 1 games will see the Cleveland Browns and the Kansas City Chiefs facing each other, an AFC East clash between the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots, and the New Orleans Saints playing the Green Bay Packers in Jacksonville because of the Hurricane Ida.

Feel free to let yourselves in, @Packers and @Saints.#DUUUVAL pic.twitter.com/9lMxaJOgHS
