Key Points
- NFL Season Starts On Thursday (UK)
- Champions Seahawks open up against Pats
- Niners & Rams open up in Australia
The new NFL season gets underway this week with a Wednesday night game (Thursday morning UK time) with a repeat of last season's Super Bowl with defending champions Seattle Seahawks hosting the New England Patriots at Lumen Field.
The Patriots will be looking for immediate revenge, while the Seahawks will be looking to show the world that last season was no fluke. It is a brilliant game to open up the new season.
The second game of the new campaign will not be held on American soil. San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams will take part in the first-ever regular season match in Australia as they do battle ats the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday, September 10 (Friday morning UK time).
It is a brand new campaign, so it is anyone's guess on who will win the Super Bowl this season. That will not stop us all guessing. There are some interesting and exciting games taking place on Sunday which could answer a few questions about the remainder of the season.
Our NFL writer Dave Kuzio has created a lengthy acca with his predictions this week. It will take an insane amount of luck to get a full house, but he has given it a go. Check out his

Sky Sports is the main broadcaster for NFL in the UK and they show one game on Thursday evening, three games on Sunday and one on Monday Night Football. They also have the Redzone show that covers every game so you do not miss a second of the scoring action.
Sky Sports like to pick their favourites to show live, so if you support an unpopular team, you might not feature on Sky very often in the season. The good news is that Bet365 will stream every single game live on their website or betting app.
You just need to have a funded account or have placed a bet 24 hours prior to be available. Bet365 is the home of NFL live streaming and you do not have to miss a minute of your teams season.
