The 2026 NFL season is nearly here, which fans of the league have been waiting for as the preseason has dragged on. So is the wait over on Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026? Is it finally time for Week 1 on Sunday?

The answer is: Nope. There's no NFL action on this Sunday during Labor Day weekend. There is good news mixed in here, though! The 2026 season will kick off this week, and a day earlier than usual. So you only have single-digit days to be without regular-season action in the NFL, with a Week 1 battle between the New England Patriots and Super Bowl 60-winning Seattle Seahawks coming soon.

What is the NFL schedule for Week 1?

The Patriots and Seahawks kick off Week 1 on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026. That's followed by a game on Thursday at Sept. 10, 2026 between the San Francisco 49ers and Los

Angeles Rams in Australia.

Then? It's a usual Sunday schedule for everyone else.
