When did the NFL season start?
The NFL regular season began on Thursday, September 10, when the Houston Texans visited the Kansas City Chiefs.
Where are games played?
It is currently planned that the teams will play their games as planned in their respective home stadiums.
Are fans allowed?
This is one of the big wild cards. There is no straight answer. Some teams plan to open with fans, others without.
The Chiefs, for example, hosted their home opener on September 10th with 15,895 fans in attendance, 21% of Arrowhead's capacity.
Other teams, including the Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears, had announced that they would host their respective home openings without fans in the stands in Week 2. So far this seems to be a team to team and city to city situation that is subject to a lot of changes over the course of the season.
What happened to the preseason?
The NFL canceled the entire 2020 preseason in July. The teams are focused on doing their own training camps to prepare for the upcoming season.

Will the NFL move some Sunday games to other days?

The NFL has been rumored to be rescheduling some games to Saturday when college football is canceled, but this is still very much unknown. Some of the Power 5 college football conferences are still planning to play games this fall.
The NFL may need to get government approval if it wanted to postpone games to Friday or Saturday nights based on Chapter 32 of the United States Code, which aims to keep those nights free for high school and college football from September to December.
