Professional football goes live again when the NFL season will reconvene on Thursday, September 10, 2015, when the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots kick-off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Foxborough, Mass.

Barring any highly unlikely, unprecedented expansion or contraction of the league, there will again, as is customary, be 512 regular season games played over the span of 17 weeks for you to feed your football appetite with.
