By Kevin Kelley -

The Thursday Night Football Schedule for the 2018 NFL season kicks off on September 6 with the Atlanta Falcons at the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Although played as the season-opener on a Thursday, Falcons-Eagles is a special presentation of Sunday Night Football and kicks off at 8:20pm ET on NBC.

Regular Thursday Night Football begins in Week 2 (Sept. 13) when the Baltimore Ravens travel to face the Cincinnati Bengals. The game will be televised by the NFL Network at 8:20pm ET.

Overall, Thursday Night Football in 2018 will feature 18 regular-season NFL games, with two of those games played on a Saturday and one on a Sunday.

Note: Falcons-Eagles (Sept. 6) and Falcons-Saints (Nov. 22) will be played on Thursdays, but both games are part of the Sunday Night Football package.
