CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WSPA) – Kickoff for the 2023 season of the National Football League is just a scant 118 days from Thursday. That doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to be excited about.
On Thursday the NFL released the schedule for all 32 teams in the league. The Panthers will kick off the 2023 season on the road on Sunday, Sept. 10 with a divisional game in Atlanta.
The team will come back to Charlotte in week two for its home opener, a Monday night primetime game against another NFC South rival, the New Orleans Saints. It will be the first time the Panthers have headlined Monday Night Football since December 2018.
The team will get a bye in week seven.
