At the end of the upcoming season, the 59th Super Bowl will be played. No team has ever won three Super Bowls in a row.
The overwhelming story of the 2024 NFL season will be the Kansas City Chiefs' pursuit of history. The Chiefs won each of the past two Super Bowls, and are looking to be the first team ever to win a third in a row.
Before fast forwarding to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans next February, there's a regular season to be played. And it starts in Kansas City on Thursday night, Sept. 5 at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs' opponent for the traditional opener for the reigning Super Bowl champs will be Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.
The NFL will announce the full regular-season schedule on Wednesday.
The NFL had a few options for the opening game of the season. The Chiefs had three very enticing home opponents: the Ravens, Texans and Bengals. So for the first game of the 2024 season we will get a rematch of last season's AFC championship game, which Kansas City won 17-10.
This will be the third time in five years the Chiefs will play in the NFL season opener.
The Chiefs' opener wasn't the first 2024 regular-season game announced. In early April the NFL said the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles will meet on Friday, Sept. 6 in São Paulo, Brazil. It's the first time the NFL will play a regular-season game in South America and the first game on a Friday of the NFL's opening week since 1970.
The regular season isn't too far off. We have an opening night matchup on the calendar to look forward to.

As well as taking home the prize money, 35-year-old Weinman also got his hands on the WSOP Main Event bracelet.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
