The 2025 NFL fixture season will start on September 4 at Lincoln Financial Field. A highly anticipated match between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys will kick off the tournament. Amid the excitement for football, we note changes in the NFL schedule over time.
The NFL has come a long way from the old days, when stars like O.J. Simpson dominated the ground. Back then, the football matches were available on a handful of TV channels in the US. Given the NFL’s rising popularity and streaming platforms like ESPN+, Amazon Prime Video, and Netflix, the league is now available to millions of fans across the world.
The 2025 NFL regular season will stream on platforms like Prime Video, Peacock, ESPN+, Paramount+, NFL+, and Netflix. Fans will have access to the matches through TV networks like ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC.
Given the scenario, the USA Today estimates that football fans will have over 330 hours of NFL broadcasts this season.
The NFL schedule has changed significantly since Aaron Rodgers’ first season in the league in 2005. Two Thursday matches were the traditional Thanksgiving games in 2005. A year later, in 2006, the NFL added an evening Thanksgiving game to the schedule, as per USA Today.
As the love for football continued to grow across the US, the NFL decided to provide fans with more matches to munch on. As a result, a 17th game was added to the fixture in 2021.
