NFL games: weekly schedule, start times and event pages
Find every NFL event in the feed on this page, from Thursday and Monday night games to the main Sunday slate and the playoffs. Times are shown in U.S. Eastern Time (ET).
Each game opens into an event page with its status, kick-off time, venue and broadcaster.
How the NFL season works
The National Football League has 32 teams in two conferences, the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC), each with four divisions. Teams play 17 regular-season games over 18 weeks, with one bye week each. Seven teams per conference reach the playoffs, which lead to the Super Bowl.
Most games are played on Sundays, with a Thursday night game and a Monday night game most weeks, plus occasional games abroad.
NFL kick-off times
Most NFL games kick off on Sunday afternoon, with prime-time games on Sunday, Monday and Thursday evenings. All times on this site are shown in U.S. Eastern Time (ET), which is UTC-5 in winter (EST) and UTC-4 in summer (EDT), so the label on each card always says which one applies. Check the time on each card before you plan.
Reading the status labels
Live, Upcoming and Ended come straight from the start and end times in the feed. A regulation NFL game has four 15-minute quarters, but stoppages mean a game usually runs about three hours, so a live label can outlast the nominal playing time.
