一句话看懂
The NFL season kicks off Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026, with a Super Bowl rematch in Seattle.
It is only the second Wednesday opener since 1948, tied to global expansion.
背景
The 2026 season-opener is a Super Bowl rematch between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots at Lumen Field in Seattle, with kickoff at 8:20 p.m. ET. The league moved the game to Wednesday for only the second time since the first NFL Kickoff Game in 2002; the previous occasion was 2012, when it avoided a conflict with then-president Barack Obama's re-election speech. Yahoo Sports reports this year's scheduling quirk is not political but stems from the NFL's expansion of its International Series, with a record nine games abroad this season.
