The Saints open the 2024 regular season against the Carolina Panthers at a transformed Caesars Superdome on Sunday, Sept. 8 at noon CT. New Orleans leads the all-time regular season series between the teams 30-28, having swept the Panthers in 2023 for the first time since 2020.
With a demanding preseason in the books, New Orleans will be eager to start their regular season campaign and to improve on last season's 9-8 mark. The Panthers finished 2-15 in 2023, but have brought in a new coaching staff and front office team committed to building around quarterback Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Alabama.
