With a one-of-a-kind offseason coming to a close, the 2020 NFL campaign is finally here.
Training camps looked a lot different this time around, with no preseason games scheduled as the league and players aimed to avoid any unnecessary risks amid the global coronavirus pandemic. The regular season is starting scheduled as normal, but games are being staged in front of no fans or with a severe limit on stadium capacities.
Regardless, the show must go on. And there's no show on Earth like prime time NFL football.
As usual, Thursday, Sunday and Monday nights are populated by matchups featuring some of the most popular teams in the league, including the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs. They're joined by the Patriots, Cowboys, Packers, 49ers, Rams and Buccaneers as teams that will each appear five times in prime time during the upcoming campaign.
In Canada every prime-time game is available to stream on DAZN, the only place to watch NFL Game Pass, which provides access to every regular-season game, playoff game and RedZone. Every game is available live and on demand.
