The NFL’s first full Sunday of the 2026 regular season is underway on September 13, with the Dallas Cowboys visiting the New York Giants in the primetime game. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. Eastern Time at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. For readers in Belgrade, that is 2:20 a.m. Monday, September 14.
The Giants’ official game guide says NBC will carry the matchup in the United States, with streaming options including NFL+. This is a scheduled Week 1 meeting, not a result: no winner or score should be inferred before the game is played.
The Sunday slate
The early and late-afternoon windows feature the first broad set of Sunday games across the league, before the NFC East rivals take the national stage. For both clubs, the opener offers an early test of offseason changes, but one game cannot settle a season’s outlook.
Fans following from outside the United States should check local broadcasters and the NFL’s current schedule for regional viewing options and any last-minute timing changes.
