SAINTS-PANTHERS GAME DETAILS & HOW TO WATCH INFORMATION

SAINTS-PANTHERS GAME OVERVIEW:

The Saints open the 2024 regular season against the Carolina Panthers at a transformed Caesars Superdome on Sunday, Sept. 8 at noon CT on FOX. 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. Dave Canales is in his first season as head coach for the Panthers. Canales comes to Carolina having spent his first 13 seasons in the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks (2010-22) in various roles on the offensive side of the ball, prior to serving as the offensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2023.
