The Baltimore Ravens will visit the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1 for the official opener of the 2024 NFL season at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri on Thursday, September 5 (9/5/2024) at 8:20 p.m. ET.

ELECTRICITY: NFL 2024 Kickoff on DirecTV stream (free trial).

Ravens vs. Chiefs will air on NBC, with Spanish-language coverage on Telemundo and Universo. It can be streamed live on DirecTV Stream (free trial), fuboTV (free trial), and Peacock.

The two-time defending Super Bowl champions, led by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, enter the 2024-25 NFL season with one goal in mind: to win the Lombardi Trophy for the third consecutive year. But aside from Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce, fans will be keeping an eye on rookie WR Xavier Worthy and rookie left tackle Kingsley Suamataia, who will protect Mahomes’ blind side.

Fans couldn’t have asked for a more exciting start to the season. The Chiefs eliminated Baltimore, led by 2023-24 MVP Lamar Jackson, in the AFC Championship game earlier this year. The rivalry between Jackson and Mahomes is legendary. Both quarterbacks took over the starting lineup in 2018, but Mahomes has won four of the five showdowns between them since then. Baltimore has a rebuilt offensive line and a new weapon in running back Derrick Henry.

Here’s how to tune in on Thursday.
