Planning Your NFL Viewing Schedule
The NFL’s Week 18 schedule is currently undecided, leaving football fans eager to learn the times and locations of their favorite teams’ games. For example, the Eagles-Giants game is expected to take place late Sunday afternoon, but it could potentially be moved to “Sunday Night Football.” This uncertainty has fans eagerly awaiting the schedule.
The NFL has deliberately delayed announcing the Week 18 schedule in order to create the most engaging and impactful matchups to maximize viewership. One of the objectives is to have a game with significant playoff implications as the final game of the regular season on Sunday Night Football, as was done last season.
On Saturday, January 6, the NFL will schedule two games, both airing on ABC and ESPN. There will not be a Monday Night Football game in Week 18, and there will also not be a Thursday Night Football game on Amazon Prime Video.
When can we expect the Week 18 schedule to be announced? The NFL may not release it until late Sunday night or potentially on Monday. This year, with no Monday Night Football game in Week 17, the NFL could wait until Monday to release the schedule.
Although fans are anticipating it, it is unlikely that the Eagles-Giants game will be scheduled for “Sunday Night Football.” The NFL prefers to feature games with significant playoff implications on that night, making it more likely that the Eagles-Giants game will be scheduled for late Sunday afternoon.
Looking ahead to other games in Week 18, matchups such as Rams vs. 49ers, Cowboys vs. Commanders, and Bills vs. Dolphins could have significant playoff implications, making them must-see games for football fans.
The Week 18 TV schedule is shaping up to be an exciting one, with a full slate of games on Saturday, January 6, and Sunday, January 7. Some key matchups include the Eagles vs. Giants, Browns vs. Bengals, and Vikings vs. Lions, among others.
With so much on the line in the final week of the regular season, football fans will be eagerly awaiting the Week 18 schedule to make their viewing plans. While the schedule has not been officially announced yet, the speculation and excitement surrounding the upcoming games are building anticipation for a thrilling end to the NFL season.
