It is finally time for football again. The preseason was a good appetizer, but the regular season is about to get under way. The NFL is starting off this season in a big way with a concert featuring music stars, Usher, Natasha Bedingfield and Keith Urban from New York City's Columbus Circle on Thursday, Sept. 4 starting at 4:00 p.m. ET. The concert leads up to the season opener between the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins at Giants Stadium (NBC, 7:00 PM ET).

Portions of the pregame broadcast will air live on NFL Network, will be streamed on NFL.com and highlights of the concert will be shown on Friday on NBC during the "NFL/NBC Fall Preview" starting at 9pm ET. The event will be the NFL’s grand salute to the Super Bowl XLII Champion New York Giants and you don’t want to miss it.
