The 2021 NFL season is just around the corner, with all eyes set on the Dallas Cowboys and Reigning Super Bowl Champions Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicking off Thursday, Sept. 9 in Florida. This season will feature a new 17-game schedule, with every team playing once a week and the classic Super Bowl taking place in Los Angeles a week later than usual, on Feb 13, 2022.

“This is a monumental moment in NFL history,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement.“The CBA with the players and the recently completed media agreements provide the foundation for us to enhance the quality of the NFL experience for our fans. And one of the benefits of each team playing 17 regular-season games is the ability for us to continue to grow our game around the world.”

NBC will be broadcasting live the match-up at Raymond James Stadium between the Cowboys and the Buccaneers, which start Thursday at 8:20 p.m. However, coverage will begin at 7 p.m. with “Football Night in America”. If you don’t have cable, you can watch the game live streamed on NBC’s streaming service Peacock.
