The 2021 NFL season doesn't get underway until Sep 9, but the NFL has today (May 12) announced fixtures for Week 1, with the rest of the season's crunch encounters to follow later this evening at 8 pm EST.After winning the Super Bowl last season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have the honor of getting things underway on home turf as they host a resurgent Dallas Cowboys team that's expected to feature a fit-again QB, Dak Prescott, in his first game back since that horrifying ankle injury sustained last season.So that's the Super Bowl champions vs America's team on the opening day! What a spectacular way to get the new campaign started!There will be two other prime-time games over the course of the first weekend: the Chicago Bears vs. the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football, followed by Lamar Jackson's Baltimore Ravens vs. the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football.On top of that, there are several other absolutely HUGE encounters set to take place in Week 1: In the NFC, the New Orleans Saints will host the Green Bay Packers, and over in the AFC, the Cleveland Browns will be looking to take revenge on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs for their playoff defeat in the divisional round last year.The complete set of fixtures for Week 1 is listed below.2021 NFL schedule: Week 1Our 2021 season premiere is set 👀#SFvsDET for Week 1 🍿 Full schedule drops tonight at 5pm on NFL Network. pic.twitter.com/6wLIh4jtd1— San Francisco 49ers (@49ers) May 12, 2021Thursday, September 09, 2021Dallas Cowboys vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 8:20 p.m. ET, NBCSunday, September 12, 2021Philadelphia Eagles vs. Atlanta Falcons, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOXPittsburgh Steelers vs. Buffalo Bills, 1:00 p.m. ET, CBSNew York Jets vs. Carolina Panthers, 1:00 p.m. ET, CBSMinnesota Vikings vs. Cincinnati Bengals, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOXSan Francisco 49ers vs. Detroit Lions, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOXJacksonville Jaguars vs. Houston Texans, 1:00 p.m. ET, CBSSeattle Seahawks vs. Indianapolis Colts, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOXArizona Cardinals vs. Tennessee Titans, 1:00 p.m. ET, CBSLos Angeles Chargers vs. Washington Football Team, 1:00 p.m. ET, CBSCleveland Browns vs. Kansas City Chiefs, 4:25 p.m. ET CBSMiami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots, 4:25 p.m. ET, CBSGreen Bay Packers vs. New Orleans Saints, 4:25 p.m. ET, FOXDenver Broncos vs. New York Giants, 4:25 p.m ET, FOXChicago Bears vs. Los Angeles Rams, 8:20 p.m. ET, NBCWe're back!The 2021 NFL London Games...@NYJets vs @AtlantaFalcons@MiamiDolphins vs @Jaguars🏟️ @SpursOfficialRegister your interest 👇#NFLUK— NFL UK (@NFLUK) May 12, 2021Monday, September 13, 2021Baltimore Ravens vs. Las Vegas Raiders, 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN/ABCI don't know about you, but I cannot wait!
