Welcome back, NFL fans. The 2024-2025 NFL season has begun and exciting storylines are already writing themselves.

This week, the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs begin their campaign to win their third consecutive Super Bowl, but they must first get past Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1. The Ravens are ready for a rematch against the Chiefs, to whom they lost the AFC title last season. (It’s also the first chance for fans this season to see Taylor Swift at a Chiefs game, if she even shows up.)

This week, fans will also see Saquon Barkley for the Philadelphia Eagles and Odell Beckham Jr. on the field for the Miami Dolphins for the first time.

Our favorite way to watch Week 1 NFL football games live is with Fubo. The live TV streaming service offers access to every game airing on ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and ESPN this season. Best of all, Fubo is currently running a promotion where you can save $30 on the first month of any subscription.
