For football fans across the United States, the long offseason has finally come to an end. Today marks the last Sunday without NFL football until 2026, as the new season kicks off this week with a full slate of games.

The Anticipation Builds
The NFL offseason is always filled with storylines—blockbuster trades, draft drama, preseason standouts, and training camp battles—but nothing compares to the excitement of game day. Fans have endured nearly seven months without meaningful football, and now, every Sunday until February will once again be dedicated to touchdowns, rivalries, and playoff dreams.
A Season Full of Storylines
This upcoming NFL season is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing in recent memory. With new rookie quarterbacks eager to prove themselves, powerhouse teams aiming for another Super Bowl run, and rebuilding franchises hoping to shock the league, the drama is set from Week 1.
Defending champions will be tested as every opponent looks to knock them off their throne. MVP hopefuls are set to ignite the race early, with quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers all eyeing the award. Playoff battles will be fierce from the opening kickoff, as every team knows how much each game matters in the race to February.
What This Means for Fans
From now until next year, Sundays (along with Mondays, Thursdays, and the occasional Saturday) will be filled with wall-to-wall NFL action. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of one team or just a lover of the game, the rhythm of the season—tailgates, RedZone marathons, fantasy football, and primetime thrillers—returns in full force.
The wait is over. Football is back.
Fans can now officially count on every Sunday being dominated by the NFL until the final whistle of the Super Bowl in February 2026.
