The TV channel for the Cowboys vs. Buccaneers game is the same one that has broadcasted the last 15 NFL season openers. Yes, NBC will once again be showing the Thursday night football opener.That said, it will be the only Thursday night NFL gamethat NBC is scheduled to broadcast this year. Fox has owned the rights to “Thursday Night Kellen Winslow Jersey Football” for a few years now, so NBC’s season opener isactually technically a”Sunday Night Football” contest.Confusing, I know. But all thatyouneed to know is that NBC will be airing the season opener. It should be a dandy, as the Buccaneers and the Cowboys have two of the better-looking offenses in the NFC. Each has a talented, deep receiving corps and a couple of quarterbacks Tom Brady and a now-healthy Dak Prescott that should be able to take advantage of their weapons.There should be plenty of fireworks in the NFL’s season opener considering the strength of each offense. That said, Tampa Bay had one of the league’s best defenses last year, so they certainly have the advantage especially considering that they’re playing front of a home crowd and are celebrating a Super Bowl win.Here’s everything to know about Thursday night’s gamebetween the Cowboys and Buccaneers, including the start time and TV schedule for the first game of the NFL season.MORE:What channel is Cowboys vs. Buccaneerson today?Game: Cowboys vs. BuccaneersDate: Sept. 9, 2021TV channel: NBCLive stream:NBC Sports app | | | Cowboys vs. Hunter Kampmoyer Jersey Buccaneers will be broadcast on NBC.
