The full NFL regular season schedule is being released on Wednesday evening, and to give hungry football fans a little taste to get them through the day, the Week 1 schedule was released in the morning. 

The schedule makers certainly didn’t skimp on the drama for the NFL’s opening weekend. Here are all the games you can catch during Week 1, starting with Thursday (Sept. 9), moving on to Sunday (Sept. 12), and ending on Monday (Sept. 13).

Week 1 schedule: Thursday night

What a way to kick off an NFL season. The Dallas Cowboys will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, Sept. 9. Audiences will get to see Dak Prescott return to the field for the first time since his season-ending ankle injury, and Tom Brady start his quest for a second straight Super Bowl ring with the Bucs in his age 44 season. Get ready.

Week 1: Sunday Night Football

The Chicago Bears travel out West to take on the Los Angeles Rams in NBC’s Sunday night opener. The big question is which quarterback gets the honor of facing Aaron Donald and the Rams defense. Will it be veteran Andy Dalton or rookie Justin Fields?

Week 1: Monday Night Football

ESPN also announced its first Monday night football matchup of the season. The Baltimore Ravens will face the Las Vegas Raiders, and it feels like we’ll see a lot of intensity out of that game. 

The rest of the schedule is being released Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. ET on NFL Network. Yahoo Sports will have a full breakdown, as well as analysis and a list of the games you won’t want to miss.
