The 2024 NFL regular-season schedule has arrived. Week 1 awaits.
In a grinding season, one game doesn’t delineate playoff teams from disappointments, but Week 1 can provide a sense of direction. Over the past five seasons, eventual postseason clubs went 51-17 in Week 1s — of the 17 losses over that span, 10 were against fellow playoff teams.
In 2023, 10 of the eventual 14 postseason teams won in Week 1 (three losses came against other playoff clubs, with the Buffalo Bills’ loss to the New York Jets as the outlier).
Week 1 is the opening chapter of a season-long saga. Those first few pages will set the tone for how the rest of the story unfolds in 2024.
Below, let’s take a glance at all the Week 1 matchups, starting with the Super Bowl champs raising their second banner in as many seasons.
