We achieve this with a team of sports enthusiasts who cultivate the best contacts and work with the best in every field, from teams to former players, from luxury hotels to luxury transportation, with an unbeatable attention to detail to ensure our customers are always our number 1 priority.  I'm able to say that not only would I recommend these trips but I'd actually buy them myself!!

Moscow, Russia

You are here, about moscow.

Moscow is unlike any other city on Earth. It is the wealthy economic center for one-sixth of the world's land mass and has over 120 ethnic groups and nationalities. A diverse and vibrant city with a strange combination of traditional Russian architecture and newer Soviet tastelessness, Moscow is an adventure waiting to happen!

Reasons to travel to Moscow

But what makes it so popular among tourists is the concentration of Moscow attractions. When you travel to Moscow you definitely want to see the red-bricked walls of the Kremlin , to take a picture in front of St. Basil's Cathedral , and probably visit the world-famous Bolshoi Theater . All of these places are located within a very small area around Red Square , so seeing them on a walking sightseeing tour of Moscow is convenient and allows you to avoid traffic jams.

The concentration of Moscow's main sights is one of the facts that make this city a world-class tourist destination. The majority of its attractions is centered in one small area, and the Kremlin is the hub of this concentration.

These sights extend into the realm of fantasy and are a must to put on your Moscow itinerary: the colorful domes of the Cathedral of St. Vasily the Blessed, the neo-gothic consumer wonderland that is the GUM , or state department store, and the timepiece of Russia's New Year's celebrations, the Spassky clock tower, all tower over the beautiful Red Square.

The neighboring Kitay-Gorod, or "Basket-Town" (likely a reference to the construction method of the city walls surround it), remains a significant concentration of traditional Russian structures serving as a commercial center. The Bolshoi Theater, the Lubyanka, and the hotels that tower above the Manege Square all are situated within the Boulevard Ring, an urban open-space doubling as a heavily-trafficked roadway created after the Great Fire of 1812, the one that left Napoleon's Army starving deep within wintry Russia.

Moscow transport system

As Europe's largest metropolis, and the 5th largest city in the world, Moscow comes with its share of traffic blunders. It seems that all of the world's most expensive black cars are here, and that most of the city's car owners do not understand the difference between sidewalks and parking lots. Still, while the traffic situation leaves much to be desired, the Moscow subway is superb.

The advanced Metro system carries up to 3 million passengers a day and its trains run every few minutes. With stations that could rival art museums, the Metro is one of Moscow's great must-see sights. Travel in Moscow Metro at least once to see that there is nothing like it in the world.

Best time to visit Moscow

The peak of the Moscow travel season is May through September. However, you may prefer to savor Moscow tourism delicacies during the low travel season. The snowy winter months offer just as many entertainment options as one can find during summer.

You can celebrate New Year's Eve or see Russia's biggest ice rink on Red Square, taste blinis or visit one of the numerous winter markets. Any popular St. Petersburg - Moscow tour hides a handful of memorable experiences the whole year round!  

Although the best time to visit Moscow is from May to September, the city in winter still enchants with its towers and lights. Its great celebrations on the day of the October Revolution (held on November 7, a discrepancy resulting from the difference between the traditional Russian Julian calendar and the Gregorian calendar in use around the world today), and New Years Day make it the place to be. Of course, the best way to plan your trip is through one of our package tours to Moscow. If you are planning a trip to Russia , don't hesitate to contact our experienced travel experts who'll be glad to help.

Best Things to Do in Moscow

• Explore the Kremlin and the gorgeous Red Square
• Get acquainted with Russian art at the Tretyakov Gallery
• See the "underground palaces" down in Moscow metro

Top Attractions in Moscow

Tennessee among worst states in the nation for porch pirates

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — As you get ready to travel for summer vacation, don’t let your packages pile up. Forbes ranks Tennessee as the 11th worst state in the nation for porch pirates.

“It’s an effortless crime,” said Detective Sgt. Josh Combs with the Nolensville Police Department. “There’s not a lot of intel to do; drive around, you see a package. Most of them are piled on top of each other, multiple packages at a time. Makes it pretty easy.”

According to a study by Capitol One Shopping, Americans lost more than $13 billion to package theft last year. Det. Sgt. Combs said surveillance video is key to catching these criminals, especially if you can see their face.

“There are tools, software we can utilize to identify somebody, especially if there’s a very visible face,’ Det. Sgt. Combs said. “We have software we can use to help identify them now, and you have a better success rate of solving those.”

In 2021, Tennessee enacted the so-called “Porch Pirate Law.” It redefines mail theft to include packages. The first offense is a misdemeanor, but the second offense is Class E felony, punishable by up to a year in jail.

“If you come to our community, we’re going to investigate it. We will follow up on each and every one of them, and we will do our best to prosecute,” Det. Sgt. Combs said. “That’s not something we accept in our community.”

Detective Sgt. Combs said thieves often recognize distinctive packaging for certain high-dollar items, so track your packages and take them inside ASAP. If you’re not going to be home, have them held or delivered somewhere safe.

“Around the holidays, we have our Operation Front Porch, which is where individuals, if they’re going to be out of town for a long period of time or going to be working odd hours and the packages are going be sitting out, they can have them delivered to the police department,” Det. Sgt. Combs said. “We will safeguard them. They can come show an ID and pick them up, and that way they’re not victimized.”

US announces $2 billion arms package for Ukraine

Ukrainian troops pull out of some areas and zelenskyy postpones foreign trips amid russian offensive.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian forces withdrew from some parts of the country’s northeast and battled Russian troops in other areas Wednesday, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s decision to postpone all his upcoming foreign trips underscored the seriousness of the threat his soldiers face.

Against that grim backdrop, visiting U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken sought to reassure Ukraine of continuing American support, announcing a $2 billion arms deal. Most of the money comes from a package approved last month.

The top diplomat’s trip comes as Russian troops press a new offensive in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. It began last week, marking the most significant border incursion since the full-scale invasion began in 2022 and forcing thousands to flee their homes. In recent weeks, Moscow’s forces have also sought to build on gains in the eastern region of Donetsk. Taken together, the developments mean the war has entered a critical stage for Ukraine’s depleted army.

Ukraine’s General Staff reported late Tuesday that troops fell back from two areas in Kharkiv — Lukyantsi and Vovchansk — “in order to save the lives of our servicemen and avoid losses.” Russia said it had captured Lukyantsi.

It was not possible to independently verify either side’s claims.

Vovchansk — just 5 kilometers (3 miles) from the Russian border — has been the focus of much of the recent fighting, and Ukrainian and Russian troops battled in its streets Wednesday. Oleksii Kharkivskyi, head of the city’s patrol police, said Russian troops were taking up positions in the city, while the Ukrainian General Staff said its forces were trying to flush them out.

Gunfire could be heard in the background of a video the police official posted on his Instagram page.

The Ukrainian presidential office said additional reinforcements were being deployed in the region, including army reserve units.

At the dangerous juncture, Blinken was in Ukraine to highlight U.S. support, though most of the money he announced Wednesday, about $1.6 billion, comes from the $60 billion allotted to Ukraine in the supplemental foreign assistance legislation passed by Congress and signed by President Joe Biden, officials said.

He said the money would be used for three purposes: to provide weapons in the short term, to invest in Ukraine’s defense-industrial base and to allow Ukraine to buy military supplies from other countries.

At a news conference with Blinken, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said of the aid: “This is a very powerful message to both our friends and our enemies.”

Blinken said Washington understands the urgency of Ukraine’s need for additional air defenses to protect against the Russian onslaught and was prioritizing them in its assistance.

He added that the U.S. has “not encouraged or enabled strikes outside of Ukraine” using American-supplied long-range weapons. That decision is up to Kyiv authorities, he said.

The United Kingdom has said it placed no limits on Ukraine’s use of weapons Britain supplies to hit targets on Russian soil, but Germany, another major supporter, has balked at that and ruled it out for fear of escalating the conflict.

Russia is opening new fronts in order to stretch Ukraine’s army, which is short of ammunition and manpower, along the about 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) front line, hoping defenses will crumble. Russian artillery and sabotage raids have also been menacing Ukraine’s northern Chernihiv and Sumy regions.

The Russian Defense Ministry also claimed that its troops have retaken the village of Robotnye in the southern Zaporizhzhia region. Ukrainian forces had gained control of the village last August in what was seen as an important advance in a counteroffensive that eventually petered out.

Elsewhere in Ukraine’s southern regions, an aerial attack on the central district of Kherson wounded 17 civilians, the regional prosecutor’s office said. And a Russian missile attack injured six people in Mykolaiv, according to Ukraine’s rescue service.

Still, the Institute for the Study of War said late Tuesday that the pace of Russia’s advance in the Kharkiv border region, where it launched an offensive late last week and has made significant progress, has slowed. The Washington-based think tank said Moscow’s main aim there is to create a “buffer zone” that will prevent Ukrainian cross-border strikes on Russia’s Belgorod region.

Even so, Zelenskyy’s office announced Wednesday he canceled all his upcoming foreign visits and would try to reschedule them.

Zelenskyy had been expected to visit Spain, and perhaps Portugal, later this week. No reason was given for his decision, but the difficulties on the front line hung over it.

On Wednesday evening, Zelenskyy said in his nightly address that the Ukrainian forces have managed to “partially stabilize” fighting in the Kharkiv region, and that “the occupier who entered the Kharkiv region, is being destroyed with all available means.” He didn’t elaborate.

Meanwhile, Russian air defenses shot down several Ukrainian missiles over the Black Sea and near the Belbek air base, Sevastopol Gov. Mikhail Razvozhayev said. Sevastopol is where the Russian Black Sea Fleet is headquartered.

The fragments of downed missiles fell into residential areas but caused no casualties, Razvozhayev said.

Russian air defenses also shot down nine Ukrainian drones, two Vilha rockets, two anti-radar HARM missiles and two Hammer guided bombs over the Belgorod region early Wednesday, the Defense Ministry said.

Vasily Golubev, the governor of the Rostov region, said two drones attacked a fuel depot. He said there were no casualties or fire.

Ukraine has launched a steady series of drone attacks on oil refineries and fuel depots across Russia over the past months, causing significant damage.

Russia has said it has expelled British defence attache Adrian Coghill in retaliation for the UK's announcement it was kicking out his Russian counterpart last week. 

Mr Coghill was reportedly called to the Russian embassy, where he was told of his expulsion. 

The Russian foreign ministry called Britain's actions "unfriendly"and "anti-Russian" and said retaliatory measures from Moscow will not end here. 

"The initiators of the escalation will be informed about further retaliatory steps," the ministry said. 

On 8 May, Britain announced that it would expel the Russian defence attache, remove diplomatic status from some properties and limit the length of Russian diplomatic visas in response to what Home Secretary James Cleverly called Moscow's "malign activity". 

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said all they need is two Patriot systems and to stop Russia from occupying the Kharkiv region.

Speaking to ABC News during a visit to the embattled region, the Ukrainian president said the country "cannot afford to lose Kharkiv" and "needs help now" to save it from occupation. 

"The situation is very serious," Mr Zelenskyy said.

Moscow launched a fresh incursion across the border into Kharkiv last Friday, forcing 8,000 people to flee their homes.

It comes after the announcement of a further $2bn in US aid  - on top of the $61bn already promised.

US secretary of state Antony Blinken said yesterday that Washington is "focused" on sending Patriot missile systems and other forms of critical air defence to Ukraine.

The Patriot, is a surface-to-air missile defence system and considered one of the most advanced air defence systems in the US.

Earlier this month, Germany also pledged an additional Patriot battery, while Spain said it will deliver anti-aircraft Patriot missiles.

A Russian activist living in exile in Georgia has sounded alarm over a bill dubbed "the Russian law".

Over the past month, thousands of Georgian protesters have taken to the streets to voice their opposition to a draft law on "foreign agents". 

Critics call it a copycat of Russian legislation that has been wielded for more than a decade to target critics of Vladimir Putin's Kremlin. 

If it passes, charities receiving at least 20% of their funding from abroad will have to register with the government as "foreign agents" and submit onerous financial reports.

Grigory Sverdlin, 43, was himself branded a "foreign agent" by the Russian government last September in connection with a non-profit he runs from Georgia advising Russian men on how to avoid military conscription.

"Georgia has just adopted the same 'foreign agents act' using the very same arguments. It is quite obvious that this act will be used to oppress dissidents," he told Reuters.

"I think a lot of people in Georgia want to move along a different path - they want to move towards European integration."

The Georgian government says the law - which cleared parliament on Tuesday and now heads to Georgia's president for review - is needed to ensure transparency in the foreign financing of non-profit organisations. 

The Kremlin has denied any association with the bill. 

Back in China, and Vladimir Putin is continuing his state visit, hosted by Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

He laid a wreath at the Monument to the People's Heroes at Tiananmen Square in Beijing.

Then he attended a gala event celebrating the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations forged between the former Soviet Union and the Peoples Republic of China, which was established following a civil war in 1949.

By Ivor Bennett, Moscow correspondent

There's obviously a great deal of symbolism to this visit.

The banquet, the tea ceremony, the walk in the park - Xi and Putin are closer than ever, and they want the world to see it.

Their message is that it's time for a new global order, that isn't dominated by the West.

The Kremlin also wants to tell those watching back home that Russia isn't alone. That it no longer needs Europe.

But the primary aim for Putin here is more pragmatic. It's about the economy.

The war in Ukraine has left Russia isolated from Western markets, and it needs China to keep it afloat.

So far, Beijing's been more than happy to buy discounted Russian energy, which has proved a lifeline for Moscow.

A tidal wave of Chinese goods has come the other way, which has kept the shelves stocked for consumers and softened the impact of sanctions.

For now, Russia's economy is growing. It's forecast to expand more than 3% this year. But for how much longer?

There are labour shortages in key sectors, like oil and gas. The losses on the frontline have exacerbated a demographic crisis, and the brain-drain that followed the invasion has affected the quality of the workforce.

What's more, the war is fast turning into a money pit for Moscow. Defence spending is projected to reach nearly 9% of GDP this year.

That explains the recent reshuffle of Putin's top team, in which he replaced his defence minister with an economist.

He wants to ensure Russia can continue to afford the war for as long as it takes.

And that's where China comes in.

The delegation accompanying Putin speaks volumes: both new and old defence ministers, his finance minister, central bank governor, oil bosses and oligarchs, and more.

Putin will be pushing for more support for Russia's war economy. The West will be scrutinising what form that support takes.

Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping announced their new "new era" strategic partnership agreement in a statement topping 7,000 words. 

Earlier, we took you through the key points regarding the Ukraine war (see our 10.52am post), but there were other important sections regarding international relations.

Following are the key points:

Ukraine war: "The Russian side positively assesses China's objective and unbiased position on the Ukrainian issue."

China "supports the efforts of the Russian side to ensure security and stability, national development and prosperity, sovereignty and territorial integrity, and opposes outside interference in Russia's internal affairs."

United States: Russia and China have serious concerns at "US attempts to violate the strategic balance", including the development of high-precision non-nuclear weapons for potential "decapitation" strikes, and plans to deploy ground-based missiles in the Asia-Pacific and European regions.

North Korea:  "The parties oppose the actions of intimidation in the military sphere carried out by the United States and its allies, which provoke further confrontation with the DPRK."

Industry: Develop civil aircraft construction, shipbuilding, carmakers, machine tool industry, electronics industry, metallurgy, iron ore mining, chemical industry and forestry.

Agriculture: Expand mutual access of agricultural products, increase the volume of trade in soybeans, pig breeding, water production, grain, fat and oil, fruits and vegetables, nuts and other products.

Technology:  Develop cooperation in information and communication technologies, including artificial intelligence, software, and network and data security.

Nuclear: Deepen partnership in peaceful nuclear energy, including thermonuclear fusion, fast neutron reactors and the closed nuclear fuel cycle.

Anti-Putin Russian paramilitary soldiers have joined Ukrainian troops on the new frontier in northeastern Ukraine.

The Freedom of Russia Legion are attempting to shore up Kyiv's defence against the unrelenting Russian incursion, launched across the border on Friday.

Its deputy commander, Maksimilian Andronikov, who is also known by his call sign, Caesar, said Russia's fighters had become more innovative.

"They've learned the lessons of the war, they're using rather intelligent tactics," he said.

In particular, Russia has been expending relatively cheap Soviet-era bombs by packing several hundred kilograms into planes and hammering frontline towns and infantry positions.

"The situation is difficult, the intensity is very high, there is fighting almost every 10 minutes," said a Legion mortarman from under a hat and face covering, identifying himself only by his call sign, Winnie.

"It's an unbelievable meat grinder that they're still [sending] their people into," Winnie said, describing Russian losses as Moscow's infantry tries to storm deeper into Ukraine.

Mr Andronikov said the Russian forces have fewer vehicles than before, but have the manpower and artillery advantage.

He blasted the limits placed by some Ukrainian allies on the use of their weapons to strike Russia, saying they limited Kyiv's ability to fight back where front lines are only few miles from Russian territory.

Context: The Freedom of Russia legion gained name-recognition in the war after they claimed responsibility for raids into the Belgorod and Kursk regions of Russia.

Russia launched its newest border incursion with the goal of capturing two specific settlements, a Russian-installed official said, quoted by RIA state news agency.

The village of Lyptsi, located 19 miles north of Kharkiv city, where Volodymyr Zelenskyy is currently visiting, and the town of Vovchansk, 30 miles further east, where combat has reportedly been fiercest.

"The most important city, which is now on the verge of complete liberation, is undoubtedly Vovchansk," said Vitaly Ganchev, a Russian-installed official in Ukraine.

"Next is the settlement of Lyptsi - our guys are already on the outskirts. Work is beginning to liberate it, aviation and artillery are working constantly, they do not stop," he said. 

Ahead of talks between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, the two leaders were seen being tailed by two officials carrying bags.

Pictures and videos of the pair prompted social media speculation that the leaders were showing off their nations' so-called "nuclear footballs" - potentially as part of some form of signalling to the West.

These are the briefcases which travel with the leaders of nuclear powers at all times, and contain the codes and communication devices needed to authorise the use of nuclear weapons

However, Sky News military analyst Professor Michael Clarke said it was "unlikely" the bags being carried by officials walking behind the Chinese and Russian presidents contained the tools necessary for ordering a nuclear strike.

"The people carrying the nuclear briefcases, or nuclear footballs, as they are often known, will generally seek to remain as unobtrusive as possible," he said.

"We certainly can't rule out the idea that it could be part of some kind of clumsy gesture, but there are other more likely explanations.

"For example, the two leaders obviously do not share the same language, so they will always have translators close by - and it could well just be officials carrying documents that will be needed for their meetings.

"The other thing to note is that while Putin has certainly been known to engage in thinly veiled nuclear threats, the Chinese are far less keen on that kind of rhetoric, so it would seem quite unlikely that they would want to get involved in that kind of crude signalling."

Russia's nuclear briefcase is traditionally carried by a naval officer. Known as the "Cheget" (named after Mount Cheget in the Caucasus Mountains), the briefcase is rarely filmed.

Last year, footage was shown of Mr Putin in Beijing accompanied by uniformed officers carrying the device.

Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has praised Slovakian prime minister Robert Fico, who was wounded in an attempted assassination yesterday.

He said there were few politicians like Mr Fico in Europe and that he had "reasonable" positions regarding Russia. 

Mr Fico is fighting for his life after in hospital after being shot multiple times, Slovak officials said.

The divisive leader returned to power last year on a pro-Russian, anti-American message.

His government has already halted arms deliveries to Ukraine, and has plans to amend the penal code to eliminate a special anti-corruption prosecutor and to take control of public media.

His critics worry that he will lead Slovakia — a nation of 5.4 million that belongs to NATO — down a more autocratic path.

Vladimir Putin sent a message to Slovak president Zuzana Caputova, expressing his support and wishing the prime minister a fast and full recovery.

"This atrocious crime cannot be justified. I know Robert Fico as a courageous and strong-willed person. I truly hope these personal qualities will help him overcome this harsh situation."

Volodymyr Zelenskyy also denounced the attack: "Every effort should be made to ensure that violence does not become the norm in any country, form or sphere."

Dinner With Bruce Bochy? Mexican Vacation? Eric Nadel's Birthday Benefit Auction Is Live

Stefan stevenson | may 14, 2024.

• Texas Rangers
• Dallas Mavericks
• Dallas Cowboys | News, Scores, Schedules & Standings

Ever dreamed of having dinner with Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy?

Or lunch with the Rangers radio team, including Hall of Famer Eric Nadel? Or dinner for six at Dale Hansen's house in Waxahachie?

Those are just three of the many auction items available at the 12th Annual Eric Nadel Birthday Benefit Concert, which will be held Thursday night at the Kessler Theater in Dallas.

Don't have tickets for the sold-out event featuring sets from Rhett Miller and Leslie Mendelson? No worries. The silent online auction is open to the public and will be live through 9:15 p.m. Thursday.

All proceeds benefit the Grant Halliburton Foundation , which provides mental health and suicide prevention programs to Dallas-Fort Worth schools.

The benefit raised more than $100,000 for the foundation a year ago.

Besides dinner and lunch options with some of DFW's most recognizable media members —including Dallas Cowboys radio voice Brad Sham, Dallas Mavericks radio and television announcers Chuck Cooperstein and Mark Followill, and KDFW's sports anchors Mike Doocy and Sam Gannon — there is plenty of sports memorabilia available. Autograph baseballs up for auction include Adrian Beltre, Nolan Ryan, Jeff Bagwell, and many current Rangers players such as Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, Adolis Garcia, and Jacob deGrom.

Other big-ticket items have nothing to do with sports, including a week-long Stay for up to 16 people in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and a Jazz vacation cruise package. Those items are worth $10,000 and $6,000, respectively.

The Grant Halliburton Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides mental health education, training, and support to North Texas children, teens, and families. For more information, visit granthalliburton.org .

Replay: Green Bay Packers 2024 schedule updates on Tuesday, rumors, leaks and more ahead of official release

Editor's Note: Follow our live blog on Wednesday for the latest news as the Green Bay Packers' 2024 NFL schedule becomes official

Get your calendars out, the Green Bay Packers' 2024 schedule is coming Wednesday. That's when the NFL will officially release the full schedule for the 2024 season.

However, some of the schedule will likely be known ahead of the primetime show on the NFL Network as leaks come out and networks announce games.

The Packers' 2024 opponents were in place after last season concluded and the Packers' Week 1 game in Brazil was announced last month .

We'll update this file on Tuesday we learn more about the Packers' 2024 schedule. Remember, this news isn't official until the Wednesday night announcement and could be subject to change.

When does the NFL schedule come out?

The NFL schedule will be released at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

NFL schedule release: TV, stream

The NFL Network will hold a primetime show where it will release the schedule of all 32 teams. It will be streamed on the NFL app and NFL+.

ESPN is also having a two-hour special on Wednesday night, beginning at 7 p.m. It will air on ESPN2 and simulcast on ESPN+.

Is the NFL schedule being released later this year?

Yes, in recent years, the NFL had been releasing its schedule on the second Thursday of May. So, the Wednesday release date is about a week later.

What games have been announced for the 2024 NFL schedule?

The NFL has already announced some of its biggest early-season games ahead of the big reveal. They include four in Week 1 and one in Week 2.

The season kicks off with a rematch of the 2023 AFC championship game when the reigning two-time Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs welcome the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, Sept. 5, while raising another banner.

Then it's the Packers against the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, Sept. 6, in Brazil.

Two other featured games already announced in Week 1 are the Dallas Cowboys vs. the Cleveland Browns at 3:25 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 8, and the "Monday Night Football" game between the New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers.

NFL schedule release: Week 2 will be highlighted by Joe Burrow vs. Patrick Mahomes

Week 2 will present a quarterback showdown.

After kicking off the season in primetime, Patrick Mahomes and the back-to-back Super Bowl champion Chiefs will play Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in one of the featured Week 2 games.

Kickoff of that contest is at 3:25 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 15.

When will Tom Brady's first game in the broadcast booth be?

After seven Super Bowl victories, Tom Brady is taking his talents to the broadcast booth.

The future Hall of Fame quarterback, who retired from the NFL for good after the 2022 season, will be part of the No. 1 team on Fox, serving as the lead analyst with play-by-play analyst Kevin Burkhardt. Brady is replacing Greg Olsen.

The Cowboys vs. Browns game in Week 1 in the 3:25 p.m. time slot Sept. 8 will be Brady's first regular season game in this new role.

NFL Christmas games 2024

The NFL doesn't take off for Christmas any more. And what was a day dedicated to the NBA has now turned into one of the NFL's biggest days on its calendar.

The NFL previously said it wouldn't hold Christmas games on a Wednesday, but the NFL has changed course and will have a doubleheader on the holiday this year. The NFL has never had Christmas Day games on a Wednesday.

The 2024 Christmas games haven't been announced, but it wouldn't be a shock if the Packers play on this day. They played on Christmas in 2021 (a Saturday game) and 2022 (a more traditional Sunday game). In 2022, the league had three games on Christmas and the rest on Christmas Eve.

With the Packers a national brand and quarterback Jordan Love's popularity and marketability growing , networks will no doubt want Green Bay on their stations on this day or other holidays. The Packers played last year on Thanksgiving and ended Week 17 in primetime on New Year's Eve .

Who are the Packers opponents in 2024?

These are the Packers' opponents they'll face in 2024 :

• San Francisco 49ers
• Chicago Bears
• Arizona Cardinals
• Indianapolis Colts
• Miami Dolphins
• Detroit Lions
• Houston Texans
• New Orleans Saints
• Minnesota Vikings
• Philadelphia Eagles (Brazil)
• Jacksonville Jaguars
• Los Angeles Rams
• Seattle Seahawks
• Tennessee Titans

Packers opponents in 2024: What is their strength of schedule?

Based on last season's records, the Packers have the fifth-toughest schedule in 2024. Of course, that was last year and that doesn't predict what will happen this season.

Either way, it's always a fun exercise for fans heading into the new year.

Packers in Brazil vs Eagles in Week 1 of 2024 schedule

The Packers have their Week 1 schedule set with the exception of the time.

Jordan Love and the Packers will travel to São Paulo, Brazil, on Friday, Sept. 6, to play the Philadelphia Eagles for the NFL's first game in South America. The game will be televised and streamed on Peacock . Local markets will also have a free, over-the-air option available.

The Packers aren't losing a home game as this contest was already scheduled to be a road game. And Matt LaFleur's team should get a warm reception from Brazil given the number of Packers fans who live there .

NFL schedule release: Aaron Rodgers and the Jets to play on 'Monday Night Football' in Week 1

Speaking of Week 1, former Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers gets a second chance to open the season on "Monday Night Football" with the Jets.

Rodgers is back after missing all but the first four plays of the 2023 season with a torn Achilles, an injury he suffered in a "MNF" game in Week 1 last year . He was hurt on the opening series of the Jets' win at home against the Buffalo Bills and despite returning to practice late in the season as he made his recovery he never played another snap. The Jets finished 7-10 and missed the playoffs.

This year, Rodgers and the Jets will play on the road for the Week 1 "MNF" game. And they'll face a stiff test against the reigning NFC champion San Francisco 49ers.

Kickoff is set for 7:20 p.m. Monday, Sept. 9, on ESPN.

It will also be the NFL debut of former Wisconsin Badgers running back Braelon Allen , selected by the Jets in the third round of the 2024 draft .
