New York Giants vs Washington Commanders preview: Date, kick-off time, news, prediction and how to watch the NFL on DAZN

The Giants and Commanders rekindle their historic rivalry to open the season, with early divisional bragging rights at stake.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of this NFC East Week 1 showdown.

Giants vs Commanders date, start time

The spotlight shines brightly on Commanders' dual-threat quarterback Jayden Daniels this week, as the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year looks to prove last season's NFC Championship run was no fluke.

He'll have plenty of help on the offense. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin returns to the fold after signing an extension, Deebo Samuel joined in free agency, and running back Jacory "Bill" Croskey-Merritt has been turning heads all summer.

The Giants boast offensive star power of their own, as quarterback Russell Wilson looks to build early chemistry with talented wideout Malik Nabers .

Can New York's trio of defensive stars, Abdul Carter, Dexter Lawrence, and Jevon Holland, keep Daniels and company in check?

Will the Commanders' linebacker duo of Frankie Luvu and Bobby Wagner spoil Wilson's debut and help Washington narrow the gap in the 108-73-5 series record?

Tune in to find out.

• Date: Sunday, September 7
• Kick-off: 6pm BST / 1pm ET / 10am PT

Prediction

The fearsome Giants' pass rush makes life awkward for Daniels, but the Commanders' offense kicks into gear and builds an early lead.

Wilson, Nabers, and New York running back Tyrone Tracy put in a valiant effort, but it's too little too late.

Giants 21 - 30 Commanders
