The 2024 NFL season was the 105th season of the National Football League (NFL). The season began on September 5, 2024, with reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City defeating Baltimore in the NFL Kickoff Game. The regular season concluded on January 5, 2025. The playoffs started on January 11 and concluded with Philadelphia defeating Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX, the league's championship game, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on February 9.[1]

## Player movement

[edit]

The 2024 NFL league year and trading period started on March 13. On March 11, teams were allowed to exercise options for 2024 on players with option clauses in their contracts, submit qualifying offers to their pending restricted free agents, and submit a Minimum Salary Tender to retain exclusive negotiating rights to their players with expiring 2023 contracts and fewer than three accrued seasons of free agent credit. Teams were required to be under the salary cap using the "top 51" definition (in which the 51 highest paid-players on the team's payroll must have a combined salary cap). On March 13, clubs were allowed to contact and begin contract negotiations with players whose contracts had expired and thus became unrestricted free agents.[2]

This season's salary cap increased to $255.4 million per team, up from the previous high of $224.8 million in 2023.[3]

## Rule changes

[edit]

The following rule changes were approved at the NFL Owners' Meeting on March 25–26:[95]

* The hip-drop tackle, in which a player "grabs the runner with both hands or wraps the runner with both arms" and "unweights himself by swiveling and dropping his hips and/or lower body, landing on and trapping the runner's leg(s) at or below the knee," was made illegal, penalized as a personal foul (15 yards) and automatic first down if committed by the defense.
* Coaches receive a third challenge if either of their first two challenges are upheld. Previously, both challenges needed to be successful to receive a third challenge.
* Major fouls committed by the offense are enforced if both teams commit a foul on a play that results in a change of possession. Previously, major fouls committed by the offense were ignored in that situation.

* The following rule changes for kickoffs were in place for the season on a trial basis, subject to renewal in 2025:[96]
* While the kickoff is still taken from the kicking team's 35-yard line, all players from the kicking team except the kicker must line up at the receiving team's 40-yard line.
* The receiving team must have at least nine players in the "set-up zone" (the area between its own 35- and 30-yard lines) and may have a maximum of two returners.
* Except for the kicker and the returners, no player on either team may move until the ball touches either the ground or a receiving team player. The kicker must also not cross midfield until those other players are allowed to move.
* The kick must land in the "landing zone", between the 20-yard line and the end zone. If it lands short of the 20-yard line, it is treated like a kickoff out-of-bounds and the receiving team gets the ball at its 40-yard line.
* If the kick sails into or beyond the end zone for a touchback, the receiving team receives the ball at its 30-yard line.
* If the kick bounces into the end zone for a touchback, the receiving team receives the ball at its 20-yard line.
* No fair catch or signal is allowed.
* During the fourth quarter, the trailing team may choose to attempt an onside kick using the pre-2024 kickoff formation. If an onside kick goes beyond the receiving team's setup zone untouched, the receiving team receives possession at the kicking team's 20 yard line.
* A tee may now be used on a free kick following a safety.
* Rulings of passer down by contact or out of bounds before throwing a pass were made reviewable.
* Replay reviews when there is "clear and obvious visual evidence" that the game clock expired before the snap were authorized.
* The trade deadline was moved from the Tuesday following Week 8 to the Tuesday following Week 9.[97]

## Preseason

[edit]

The majority of training camps were opened on July 24. The preseason began on August 1 with the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, in which the Chicago Bears (represented in the 2024 Hall of Fame class by Devin Hester, Steve McMichael, and Julius Peppers) "defeated" the Houston Texans (represented by Andre Johnson).[98]

## Regular season

[edit]

The season was played over an 18-week schedule, beginning on September 5, 2024, and ending on January 5, 2025. Each of the league's 32 teams played 17 games, with one bye week.[2]

Each team plays the other three teams in its own division twice, one game against each of the four teams from a division in its own conference, one game against each of the four teams from a division in the other conference, one game against each of the remaining two teams in its conference that finished in the same position in their respective divisions the previous season (e.g., the team that finished fourth in its division would play all three other teams in its conference that also finished fourth in their divisions), and one game against a team in another division in the other conference that also finished in the same position in their respective division the previous season.[99]

The division pairings for 2024 were:[99]

Four intra-conference games
AFC East vs AFC South
AFC North vs AFC West
NFC East vs NFC South
NFC North vs NFC West

Four interconference games
AFC East vs NFC West
AFC North vs NFC East
AFC South vs NFC North
AFC West vs NFC South

Interconference game by 2023 position

### Scheduling changes

[edit]

This was the second season that the league's flexible scheduling system included Monday Night Football games and increased the amount of cross-flexing (switching) of Sunday afternoon games between CBS and Fox.[109][110][111]

Week 8:

* The Philadelphia–Cincinnati game was moved from 4:25 p.m. ET to 1:00 p.m. ET, trading time slots with the Chicago–Washington game; both games remaining on CBS.[112]

Week 9:

* The Indianapolis–Minnesota game, originally scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS, was flexed into NBC Sunday Night Football at 8:20 p.m. ET, replacing the originally scheduled Jacksonville–Philadelphia game, which was moved to 4:05 p.m. ET on CBS.[113]

Week 11:

* The Cincinnati–Los Angeles Chargers game, originally scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS, was flexed into NBC Sunday Night Football at 8:20 p.m. ET, replacing the originally scheduled Indianapolis–New York Jets game, which was moved to 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS.

Week 16:

* The Denver–Los Angeles Chargers game, originally scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET on Fox, was flexed into Thursday Night Football at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video, replacing the originally scheduled Cleveland–Cincinnati game, which was moved to 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday on CBS, though it was originally going to be on Fox before being cross-flexed.[114] Although this required Denver to play a second away Thursday game, which is above the league's limit of one per season, Denver agreed to the change.[115]
* The New England–Buffalo game was also moved from 1:00 p.m. ET to 4:25 p.m. ET, remaining on CBS.[116]

* The Green Bay–Minnesota game was moved from 1:00 p.m. ET to 4:25 p.m. ET, trading time slots with the Dallas–Philadelphia game; both games remaining on Fox.[119]

Week 18:

The pants were paired with Cincinnati's orange alternate jersey and primary helmet during the team's season opener. The team also wore its new orange pants with the home black and road white jersey twice each.[255]

### Alternate helmets

In April 2024, the NFL modified its uniform rule to allow for a third helmet option. The four teams that underwent a re-design process prior to the season, as noted above, have been offered a third helmet option, and it will be available to all teams starting in 2025. These alternate helmets can be paired with a team's throwback or alternate uniform; if it is with the throwback uniform, the helmet colors and designs must be historically compatible.[277]

* Baltimore revealed an alternate "Purple Rising" helmet for their all-purple uniforms. The helmet is purple and features a forward-facing Raven logo with a gold facemask.[278]
* Denver added a third "Legacy Blue" helmet to accompany their throwback uniform.[279]

* Minnesota's "Winter Warrior" uniform features a new white alternate helmet. The helmet's logo outline, stripe and facemask are silver.[283]

## Media

[edit]

### National

[edit]

#### Linear television

[edit]

This was the second season under 11-year U.S. media rights agreements with CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN/ABC, and NFL Network along with its Spanish counterparts ESPN Deportes, Fox Deportes, and Telemundo Deportes.[109] Under these linear television rights:

* Sunday afternoon games were split between CBS and Fox. Both networks continued to carry the Sunday afternoon AFC and NFC packages, respectively. When the initial schedule was created, CBS and Fox were able to specify a limited number of games involving teams from their respective conference that they want to air, but otherwise the league was free to schedule games regardless of conference.[290] Each network aired ten doubleheaders, with both networks airing one on Weeks 15 and 18.[291][292] On Thanksgiving, CBS broadcast the early Detroit game and Fox broadcast the late Dallas game.[109] CBS also has the option of producing alternative broadcasts of select games on Nickelodeon.[109]
* NBC continued to air Sunday Night Football, the NFL Kickoff Game, and the primetime Thanksgiving game.[109] NBC also aired an additional Saturday afternoon game on December 21.[293] Due to NBC's coverage of the 2024 Summer Olympics, the 2024 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game was aired as an ESPN/ABC simulcast.[294]
* ESPN continued to produce Monday Night Football and the doubleheader on the last Saturday of the season. Originally, four MNF games and the Saturday doubleheader were set to be ESPN/ABC simulcasts. In October 2024, it was announced that ABC picked up simulcasts of six additional MNF games, bringing the ESPN/ABC simulcast total to twelve. Three weeks featured two MNF games split between ABC and ESPN.[109][295][296][297] In April 2024, ESPN signed a contract extension with Omaha Productions to produce the alternative Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli on ESPN2 through 2034.[298]
* NFL Network aired four International Series and three late-season Saturday games.

#### Streaming

[edit]

* This was the third year of a 12-year deal with Amazon Prime Video and Twitch to exclusively stream Thursday Night Football.[299] This was also the second season that Prime Video and Twitch streamed the game on the Friday after Thanksgiving under the title Black Friday Football.[300]
* Peacock simulcasts NBC's games.[109] NBC also carries one exclusive national game on Peacock per-season, in this case being the São Paulo, Brazil game on September 6.[301][302] Peacock streamed an alternate broadcast of NBC's Saturday December 21 game that used the league's player tracking data to render a live version of the game using elements of the Madden 25 video game.[303]
* ESPN+ simulcast select games on ABC, including games being simulcast on ESPN, as well as select Manningcast telecasts.[109] The platform also exclusively streamed the second game of a split Monday Night Football doubleheader on October 21 with ABC and ESPN airing the other game.[304] On December 9, ESPN+ and Disney+ streamed The Simpsons Funday Football, an alternate Monday Night Football broadcast that used the league's player tracking data to render a live animated version of the game portrayed by characters from The Simpsons.[305]
* Paramount+ simulcast in market and national CBS games.[109]
* Netflix streamed two Christmas games as part of a new three-year deal.[306]
* This was the second season out of a seven-year deal that the NFL Sunday Ticket out-of-market sports package streamed on YouTube TV, as well as on YouTube's Primetime Channels service as a standalone subscription option.[307]
* The league's streaming service NFL+ continued to stream in-market regular season and postseason games on mobile devices only, radio broadcasts for all games, most out-of-market preseason games and a live stream of NFL Network on its base tier, and replays of games along with NFL RedZone on its premium tier.[308]

#### Postseason

[edit]

All four broadcast partners aired at least one Wild Card round game, with CBS and Fox airing an AFC and NFC Wild Card game, respectively. NBC aired the Sunday night game under the fourth year of its seven-year deal.[309][310][311] ESPN/ABC broadcast the Monday night Wild Card game, its fourth in a five-year deal.[312][313] CBS aired a second game in the wild card round as part of its rotation with Fox and NBC; one of CBS' Wild Card games had an alternative broadcast on Nickelodeon.[314]

Amazon Prime Video exclusively aired a Wild Card playoff game for the first time during the 2024 season (it previously simulcast one CBS Wild Card playoff games on the platform in the 2021 and 2022 seasons), purchasing the rights to the game that was aired exclusively by Peacock last season.[315][316]

This was the second season that all four broadcast television partners aired one divisional playoff game per season (ESPN/ABC, Fox, CBS, and NBC).[317]

Fox televised Super Bowl LIX in the annual rotation of Super Bowl broadcasters.[318]

#### Personnel changes

[edit]

Tom Brady began his broadcasting career as Fox's lead color commentator, working alongside Kevin Burkhardt. Brady replaced Greg Olsen, who joined Joe Davis on the #2 team.[319] Other changes saw Daryl Johnston move to the #5 team with Kevin Kugler, Mark Sanchez joining Adam Amin on the #3 team, and Mark Schlereth assigned to the #6 team with Chris Myers.[320] The #4 team of Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma remained intact, with Megan Olivi replacing Shannon Spake as that team's sideline reporter.[321][322]

Longtime CBS analysts Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason departed The NFL Today after 26 and 22 years, respectively. They were replaced by J. J. Watt and Matt Ryan.[323] Ryan, who previously worked with Andrew Catalon and Tiki Barber on the #4 team, was replaced by Jason McCourty on that team.[324]
