NFL Thursday Night Football will kick the new season off on September 11th, with highlights from the month of September including a special one-hour episode of The Big Bang Theory and the debut of season 29 of Survivor.
“The addition of Thursday Night Football provides the flexibility to strategically roll out our fall season in multiple waves, maximizing promotional platforms and scheduling opportunities to give our new and returning series the best possible launch,” said Nina Tassler, Chairman, CBS Entertainment.
