The countdown is finally over, the NFL regular season is upon us and the road to Super Bowl LXI gets underway.
If last year's matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots was unexpected, then this year's path to the NFL showpiece seems even tougher to predict with major coaching changes and eye-catching roster alterations.
The 2026/27 season will also witness a record number of international fixtures spanning seven nations and eight stadiums, including Australia's first-ever NFL regular season match as the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground hosts the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams.
There will also be a new stop in Paris as the French capital hosts an NFL fixture for the first time.
It promises to be an enthralling campaign, and we've got you covered with all of the details on how to watch the action.
