The NFL is coming off a rough season low lighted by some ratings challenges and a president — and a big chunk of the league’s fan base —grumblingabout players protesting during the national anthem. But after an off-season in which Fox spent a reported $3 billion for the Thursday Night Football TV rights for its 25th year airing the NFL games, spring has sprung and a new campaign looms, as the country’s most lucrative sports machine released its 2018 regular-season schedule today.

The league’s 99th season will stick with recent tradition and kick off with the defending Super Bowl champion in the Thursday night opener. The Philadelphia Eagles will host the previous year’s NFC champions, the Atlanta Falcons, in a birds-of-prey clash on September 6. Fast-forward a few days, and the also neo-traditional opening doubleheader for Monday Night Football will see the New York Jets at the Detroit Lions, followed by a California clash, as the Los Angeles Rams travel north to play the Oakland Raiders, who are launching their final season in California before moving to Las Vegas. Also notable there: Jon Gruden, who went to a Super Bowl as coach of the Raiders and has spent the past decade in the Monday Night Football booth, is back to lead the team again this year.

This season’s three-game Thanksgiving schedule is an all-divisional-matchup affair: the Chicago Bears at the Lions at 12:30 PM ET, the Washington Redskins at the Dallas Cowboys (4:30 ET), and the Falcons at the New Orleans Saints in the first Turkey Day game ever in the Big Easy (8:20ET).

As for the 2018 season’s international games, three of the four California teams are playing “home games” abroad: The Rams will play the Kansas City Chiefs in Mexico City on MNF in Week 11; the Raiders “host” the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6 at England’s Tottenham Stadium (the first NFL game there); and the Los Angeles Chargers’ second year in the City of Angels will see them travel to London’s Wembley Stadium for a tilt against the Tennessee Titans on October 21. The ensuing Week 8 will feature the Jacksonville Jaguars in a home game against the Eagles at Wembley.

Also of note this year: The league will start all of its prime-time games a little earlier. After Week 1, Monday Night Football will kick off 15 minutes earlier at 8:15 PM ET; Sunday Night Football will start 10 minutes earlier at 8:20 PM ET; and Thursday Night Football gets a five-minute headstart at 8:20 PM PT.
