It was conceived as an effort to heave economic recovery in the New York and Washington areas in the wake of 9/eleven.

ESPN televised the first game. In lodge to practise then, ESPN eliminated its traditional late-October Th night game (held the weekend of Games 1 and 2 of the World Serial), and replaced it with the opening night kickoff game. Because of the success of the first game, the rights to televise both the Kickoff Game and the pregame concert were transferred immediately afterwards the season to ABC equally role of their Mon Night Football package. In 2006, NBC acquired the television rights to the Kickoff Game as part of their Lord's day Dark Football package.

The concept of the NFL champion playing in an opening game was not altogether new, however. From 1934 to 1976, the commencement game of the pre-season was the Chicago All-Star Game, an exhibition match featuring the previous season'due south NFL champions against an all-rookie team of college all-stars held annually in Soldier Field in Chicago.

ABC Monday Night Football [edit]

2003: The kickoff game's popularity and success saw it movement to ABC as part of the Monday Night Football package. In order for the showtime game to fit into the schedule, ABC dropped the Monday Night Football game held in the concluding week of the NFL season.

In return, ESPN (which, like ABC, is owned by Disney) received a week 17 Sat night game. While defending Super Basin champions Tampa Bay were not selected for the Th dark game, they did play a nationally televised game at Philadelphia four nights later on MNF. Instead, the Washington Redskins defeated the New York Jets sixteen–xiii.

2004: The tradition began that the kickoff game would be hosted by the reigning Super Bowl champions. After the "wardrobe malfunction" incident at Super Bowl XXXVIII, the NFL initially canceled future plans for concerts in conjunction with the NFL First game.^[5] Later in the year, withal, the decision was reversed, and instead a 10-second broadcast filibuster was put in place.^{[half dozen]}

The Ravens as well had the near points scored against them in franchise history. They also suffered the biggest margin of defeat by a defending Super Bowl champion on opening day in NFL history.

2015: The New England Patriots, after winning Super Bowl XLIX, hosted the 2015 Showtime Game on September ten at Gillette Stadium, with the Pittsburgh Steelers equally their opponent.

2016: The Denver Broncos hosted the 2016 Beginning Game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High against the Carolina Panthers on September 8, in a Super Bowl 50 rematch.
