  • FOX's Super Bowl season continues with Week 2 regional action on Sunday, September 15, with a contest slated either for either 1:00 PM (ET) or 4:00 PM (ET) on your local FOX station (check your local listings and/or this article for the game in your area).
  • Two hours of pregame coverage on FOX before the Week 2 slate kicks off, beginning at 11:00 AM (ET) with FOX NFL Kickoff followed by 12:00 PM (ET) with FOX NFL Sunday.
  • A consequential mid-September matchup in Arlington as Dak Prescott and the undefeated Dallas Cowboys (1-0) host Tyrann Mathieu and the undefeated New Orleans Saints (1-0). The winner improves to 2-0 in the young season thus far. (Sunday, September 15 | 1:00 PM ET | FOX)
  • A re-match of the 2023 NFC Divisional Playoff is happening at Ford Field as Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0) visit Aidan Hutchinson and the Detroit Lions (1-0). Both teams come off impressive Week 1 victories with the Buccaneers beating the Commanders & the Lions outlasting the Rams in overtime. (Sunday, September 15 | 1:00 PM ET | FOX)
  • The desert southwest serves as the backdrop for this NFC West showdown as Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals (0-1) welcome in Kyren Williams and the Los Angeles Rams (0-1) for the Cardinals' 2024 home opener at State Farm Stadium. Both squads did not win their season opener last week, and now, this contest is an essential one for these teams to avoid a disastrous 0-2 start. (Sunday, September 15 | 4:05 PM ET | FOX)

The 31st season of the NFL on FOX continues this Sunday, September 15, with regional coverage throughout the day on the FOX broadcast network. This is Week #2 of the NFL's 105th regular season. FOX will have six games on their schedule for the weekend, including Saints-Cowboys, Buccaneers-Lions, Giants-Commanders, Seahawks-Patriots, Colts-Packers and Rams-Cardinals. You will get a game on your local FOX station at either 1:00 PM (ET) or 4:00 PM (ET), depending on your individual region. Ready to hear more? Stay tuned as we prepare you for Week #2 on the NFL on FOX.

FOX will have TWO (!!) hours of pregame coverage to preview the Week 2 NFL on FOX lineup. FOX's pregame programming hits the air at 11:00 AM (ET) with FOX NFL Kickoff. Charissa Thompson anchors the one-hour program with Hall of Famer Charles Woodson, three-time Super Bowl champion Julian Edelman, four-time Pro Bowler Michael Vick. Insider Peter Schrager rounds the studio team, giving up to the minute updates from across the league. In addition to these aforementioned personalities, contributors Cooper Manning and Colin Cowherd are expected to make content for the program.

Then, once FOX NFL Kickoff signs off, the iconic pregame show FOX NFL Sunday takes over the FOX airwaves at 12:00 PM (ET). As always, longtime host Curt Menefee and Hall of Famer and four-time Super Bowl champion Terry Bradshaw co-host the program. Joining Menefee and Bradshaw in the studio are Hall of Famers Howie Long & Michael Strahan. Four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski makes his season debut with the "FOX NFL Sunday" cast. Insider Jay Glazer participates in the program, providing the current news and insider information that viewers need to know about heading into Sunday's action on the gridiron. Throughout the day, the studio team will provide halftime (for BOTH early and late games) and postgame coverage (for early games only).

FOX makes the transition from the studio to the field at 1:00 PM (ET) for viewers slated to receive an early game ONLY on this singleheader Sunday. FOX has five games during this time period, including Saints-Cowboys, Giants-Commanders, Buccaneers-Lions, Colts-Packers & Seahawks-Patriots. I will offer a quick summary of each matchup and what things you should be looking out for while watching these games.

At 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX on Sunday afternoon, most of the country will be treated to a very important early season NFC battle as Alvin Kamara and the New Orleans Saints (1-0) face Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys (1-0) from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Both teams are coming off strong Week 1 victories and look to continue their early season momentum. The lead 'NFL on FOX" crew of Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady, Erin Andrews & Tom Rinaldi will be on hand for the broadcast call on FOX.

At 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX on Sunday afternoon, historic Lambeau Field is the backdrop for a Week 2 interconference matchup featuring two squads trying to bounce back following Week 1 losses. Anthony Richardson and the Indianapolis Colts (0-1), fresh off a 29-27 loss to the Colts last week, battle the young up and coming receiver Jayden Reed and the Green Bay Packers (0-1). Green Bay begins life without quarterback Jordan Love, who suffered a MCL sprain in last week's 34-29 loss to the Eagles in São Paulo, Brazil. Malik Willis, who just signed with the Packers not too long ago, is expected to make his first Packers start in this one. Joe Davis (play-by-play), three-time Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen (analyst) and Pam Oliver (reporter) will provide commentary.

At 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX on Sunday afternoon, Tyler Lockett and the Seattle Seahawks (1-0), coming off a 26-20 Week 1 victory last week over the Denver Broncos hit the road for the first time this season to face Jacoby Brissett and the New England Patriots (1-0). The Patriots kicked off the Jerod Mayo era as head coach pretty well last week with a major upset win in Cincinnati against the Bengals, 16-10. For the first time since 2016, the Seahawks will be paying a visit to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Kenny Albert will provide play-by-play alongside analyst and Super Bowl champion linebacker Jonathan Vilma and reporter Megan Olivi.

At 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX on Sunday afternoon, we will see a re-match of the 2023 NFC Divisional Playoffs as Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0) head north to Michigan to play Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Detroit Lions (1-0) at Ford Field. Mayfield played a great game last week against the Washington Commanders. In a 37-20 win over Washington, Mayfield went 24-for-30 for 289 yards and four touchdowns, while throwing no interceptions during that time. Plus, Tampa Bay spread the sugar in Week 1 vs. Washington, as Mike Evans (twice), Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan all scored touchdowns in the game. The Lions' 26-20 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Rams last week was spearheaded by a strong running game, with RB David Montgomery responsible for scoring the game-winning touchdown. Kevin Kugler and Daryl "Moose" Johnston call the game from the broadcast booth, with reporter Laura Okmin providing additional commentary from the field.

At 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX on Sunday afternoon, two NFC East rivals meet at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland when rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers and the New York Giants (0-1) invade the DMV to square off against rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders (0-1). Yes, it's only Week #2, but both teams are in search of a victory here. A loss could be detrimental, as a loss could drop one of these clubs to two games back behind the division lead before summer even ends. Chris Myers teams up with three-time Super Bowl champion Mark Schlereth and reporter Jennifer Hale for this collision of NFC East foes.

For those of you receiving a late game ONLY on FOX, game coverage will start at 4:00 PM (ET) with the only game in that window: Rams vs. Cardinals.

The Los Angeles Rams (0-1) continue their season-opening two-game mini road trip in the Desert, where they will match up with their NFC West rival, Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals (0-1) at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. Game coverage will commence at 4:00 PM (ET), with kickoff slated for 4:05 PM (ET). Unfortunately, neither team came away from opening weekend with a victory in hand, as the Rams had a heartbreaking OT loss to the Lions (26-20) while the Cardinals fell just short in Orchard Park vs. the Bills (34-28). And now, the focus turns to the first divisional matchup of the season for both teams involved in the contest. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford returned to his former stopping grounds, Detroit, last Sunday night and played a solid game - 34/49, 317 yards, 1 touchdown. Sadly, his Rams didn't have enough to prevent a Lions victory in overtime. 2024 NFL Draft #4 overall pick Marvin Harrison Jr.'s highly anticipated NFL debut didn't work out for him, as he only had one catch for four yards during the Cardinals' Week 1 loss to Buffalo. Play-by-play commentator Adam Amin, analyst Mark Sanchez and reporter Kristina Pink will serve as the broadcast team.
