Is ‘Thursday Night Football’ On Tonight? Schedule, Start Times, How To Watch ‘TNF’ On Amazon and NFL Network

Can you believe we’re only two weeks away from the start of the regular season?! The 2025-2026 campaign begins on Thursday, September 4 with a battle between longtime rivals as the Philadelphia Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys on NBC and Peacock.

The Cowboys are hoping to rebound after a disappointing 24-25 season. Dallas finished the year at 7-10, a distant third place behind the ascendant Washington Commanders (12-5) and a Philadelphia team that capped off a 14-3 regular season with a Vince Lombardi Trophy. If you want to relive the glory days of the Cowboys, the riveting eight-episode docuseries America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys is now streaming on Netflix.

The third and final week of NFL preseason action begins tonight on Amazon and NFL Network as the Carolina Panthers go on the road to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants host the New England Patriots. From start times to streaming info, here’s how to watch both games live online.
