Week 1 NFL Preview: Detroit Lions Excited for Thursday Night Opening Kickoff Opportunity

The NFL is back with the Kansas City Chiefs as the reigning Super Bowl champions and eager to defend their title.

But there are no shortage of contenders to topple Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, with the Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals among the most-fancied teams ahead of kick-off.

Aaron Rodgers joined the New York Jets ahead of the season but suffered a serious injury in his first game action with his new franchise, while Sean Payton is back in the league and hoping to lift the struggling Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos.

It will also be the first time in 23 seasons that the NFL will not feature Tom Brady, who has now properly retired from the sport. There are 32 teams competing across eight divisions with 17 regular season games per team and 272 games in total across 18 weeks before the playoffs begin.

Here is the full NFL schedule and fixtures and division for the 2023 season:
