Season Culminates with the Exclusive Presentation of Super Bowl XLV from State-of-the-Art Cowboys Stadium

The 17th season of the NFL on FOX premieres Sunday, Sept. 12 with doubleheader coverage of six games including the regular season debut of New York football’s epicenter when Eli Manning and the Giants christen their new facility against John Fox’s Carolina Panthers. Week 1 doubleheader action of FOX’s Super Bowl Season is anchored by a clash between last season’s NFC Wild Card winners when Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers travel to the City of Brotherly Love to face the Philadelphia Eagles at the Linc in the late afternoon.

At present, FOX Sports is scheduled to broadcast 106 regular-season games, including nine doubleheader Sundays and the traditional Thanksgiving Day game this year featuring an exciting rematch between the Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints and the Dallas Cowboys. Last season, the Cowboys put an end to New Orleans’ quest of an undefeated season in Week 15.

NFL fans will have Sunday, Oct. 3 circled on their calendars when FOX Sports presents Donovan McNabb’s highly-anticipated return to Philadelphia wearing a division rival’s uniform when Mike Shanahan’s Washington Redskins clash with Andy Reid’s Eagles to anchor FOX’s Week 4 doubleheader coverage.

All NFL on FOX games are produced and broadcast in state-of-the-art HD beginning with three preseason broadcasts in August straight through coverage of the NFC’s postseason including Super Bowl XLV in Texas.
