NFL Week 1 coverage map: Full TV schedule for CBS, Fox regional broadcasts

Believe it or not, the 2025 NFL season is here.

After a pair of high-profile primetime matchups on Thursday and Friday, the first Sunday of the NFL season will feature 12 afternoon games. A new season brings a clean slate and fresh expectations, and Week 1 always carries a level of excitement that either builds or fades as the season unfolds.

It’s been a long offseason for 31 teams, as the Philadelphia Eagles celebrated their second Super Bowl title in the past eight years. Week 1 now offers fans a chance to see their new-look squads in action, with few debuts more anticipated than Micah Parsons with the Green Bay Packers and the start of what could be Aaron Rodgers’ final chapter with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Week 1's early slate is headlined by Rodgers facing his former team, the New York Jets, while Parsons and the Packers host the Detroit Lions in the biggest game of the late afternoon. 

Naturally, Week 1 also means there will be a number of high-profile rookies beginning their respective NFL careers.

No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward's Tennessee Titans travel to face the Denver Broncos in the late afternoon while No. 2 overall pick Travis Hunter will look to show his two-way prowess as the Jacksonville Jaguars host No. 8 overall pick Tetairoa McMillan and the Carolina Panthers earlier in the day.
