NFL Week 1 Kicks Off with Marquee Matchups, International Debut, and Tickets Available
NFL Week 1 kicks off in less than a month, starting Wednesday, Sept. 9, according to USA Today. The opener features the Seattle Seahawks taking on the New England Patriots in a Super Bowl rematch at 8:20 p.m. ET. Tickets are still available for every Week 1 game, but supplies are limited.
The season also brings two marquee storylines: the NFL's first-ever game in Australia and what may be Aaron Rodgers' final season as a starting quarterback. Prices range widely depending on the matchup, with some games starting as low as $268.
Super Bowl Rematch Opens the Season on Thursday Night
The biggest game of Week 1 is the Seahawks vs. Patriots rematch, according to USA Today. It tips off at 8:20 p.m. ET on Sept. 9. The two teams met in Super Bowl XLIX, one of the most dramatic finishes in NFL history. Demand for this game is expected to be high, so fans should move fast on tickets.
The Kansas City Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos is another top draw in Week 1, USA Today reported. That AFC West rivalry always draws passionate fans. Both games are among the hottest tickets of the opening weekend.
NFL Heads to Australia for a Historic First Game
For the first time ever, the NFL will play a regular-season game in Australia, USA Today reported. The LA Rams face the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday, Sept. 10. It is a classic NFC West rivalry matchup. The game marks a major step in the league's push to grow football around the world.
The Rams-49ers rivalry has been one of the best in the NFC in recent years. Playing it on an international stage adds extra weight to the game. Fans in Australia will get a top-tier matchup for the league's debut on the continent.
Aaron Rodgers Begins What Could Be His Final Season
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers opens Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, according to USA Today. This is expected to be the final season of his NFL career. Rodgers has been one of the game's biggest stars for nearly two decades. Fans who want to see him play in person should not wait.
Week 1 Ticket Prices: What You Can Expect to Pay
Tickets are still available for all Week 1 games, but they are going fast, USA Today reported. The Las Vegas Raiders' home opener starts at $268, making it one of the more affordable options on the schedule. High-demand games like the Super Bowl rematch will cost significantly more.
Fans looking to attend any Week 1 game should compare prices soon. Limited inventory means prices will likely rise as opening weekend gets closer. Checking multiple ticket platforms can help fans find the best deal before games sell out.
