THIS WEEK IN SPORTS: SEPTEMBER 4TH THRU 10TH

Week 1 of the College Football Season is in the books and that means one thing…the NFL kicks off this week! The NFL returns on Thursday night with the Lions taking on the reigning World Champion Chiefs. We turn to Week 2 of the college football season, highlighted by Texas visiting the Alabama Crimson Tide. We are fully into the final month of the MLB regular season and there are a bunch of exciting playoff races. European club soccer is on pause this week for the International break. There are a bunch of World Cup and EURO’s 2024 qualifying matches as well as the U.S. Men’s National Team playing on Saturday. The MLS does have a few matches this week. The US Open marches toward the Women’s and Men’s Finals over the weekend and the closing of the last Tennis Grand Slam of 2023.
