The full Week 1 slate of the 2021 NFL schedule has been revealed ordeal and we’re looking at the games that will kick off the season. 

The 2021 NFL schedule is set to be revealed in all its glory at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, May 12. But there are always leaks leading up to that reveal and Wednesday morning was no exception to that. A big difference, however, is that, instead of just a few sporadic games, we have the entire NFL Week 1 schedule already out for us.

Our first-ever 17-game season in the NFL will kick off on Thursday, Sept. 9 with Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys visiting Raymond James Stadium to play the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That’s a high-profile NFC game that will get things started for the 2021 campaign.

Meanwhile, the other two primetime games will feature more big-time games. The Chicago Bears will head out west to face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football. On Monday Night Football, we’ll have the Las Vegas Raiders hosting Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. The afternoon slate for both FOX and CBS on Sunday was also revealed.

Let’s take a look at the full NFL schedule for Week 1.
