Flex: Monday night games in Weeks 12-17 can be swapped with a Sunday afternoon game, with at least 12 days notice.
Most primetime games this season: Cowboys (6), Chiefs (6), Seahawks (5).
NFL Flex Scheduling 2026: How Primetime Games Can Change
Night games are picked in May, months before anyone knows which teams will be good. Flex scheduling lets the league swap a stronger Sunday afternoon game into a primetime slot later in the year, and in 2026 it covers all three: Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football and Thursday Night Football.
| Slot | When it can be flexed | Notice the league must give |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday Night Football (NBC) | Up to twice in Weeks 5-10, any week in Weeks 11-17 | 12 days (6 days from Week 14) |
| Monday Night Football (ESPN/ABC) | Any week in Weeks 12-17 | 12 days |
| Thursday Night Football (Prime Video) | Up to twice in Weeks 13-17 | 21 days |
| Sunday afternoon | Between 1:00, 4:05 and 4:25 PM ET | Same windows |
Only a Sunday afternoon game can be moved into a night slot, and the night game it replaces drops to Sunday afternoon. Week 18 works differently: its Saturday, Sunday afternoon and Sunday night games are slotted only after Week 17, so the season finale carries playoff stakes.
If you are buying tickets or planning travel for a late-season game, check the kickoff time again two weeks out. This page updates as soon as a game moves.

How the 2026 NFL Schedule is Made
Every club’s opponents are known the moment the previous regular season ends. The schedule release on May 14, 2026 only added the dates, times and networks. Each team’s 17 games follow the same formula:
- 6 division games: home and away against its three division rivals.
- 4 games against one division in its own conference, a pairing that rotates every three years.
- 4 games against one division in the other conference, rotating every four years.
- 2 games against the teams that finished in the same place in the two remaining divisions of its conference.
- 1 “17th game” against a same-place finisher from a division in the other conference.
The 17th game decides the home split. NFC teams host it in even-numbered years, so in 2026 every NFC team has nine home games and every AFC team has eight. NFC clubs are also the designated home teams in this year’s international games, apart from Jacksonville’s own London arrangement.
Each team gets one bye in the middle of the season, and the league’s computers then test millions of possible schedules for stadium conflicts, travel and the TV partners’ wishes before one is picked.
2026 NFL Bye Weeks
Each team gets one week off, from Week 5 to Week 14. Handy for fantasy lineups.

What’s New in the 2026 NFL Schedule
- A record nine international games, two more than in 2025: Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, three in London, Paris, Madrid, Munich and Mexico City.
- The first regular-season games in Australia and France. The 49ers and Rams opened in Melbourne on September 10, and the Steelers met the Saints at the Stade de France on October 25.
- A Wednesday opener. The Melbourne game took the usual Thursday slot, so the season kicked off on Wednesday, September 9.
- A busier Thanksgiving week: a Wednesday-night game (Packers at Rams), the three Thanksgiving Day games and Broncos at Steelers on Black Friday.
- Football on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Texans at Eagles on Thursday, December 24, then a Netflix tripleheader on Friday, December 25: Packers at Bears, Bills at Broncos and Rams at Seahawks.
- International games on more networks. Not every overseas game is a Sunday-morning NFL Network window any more; Rio aired on CBS and Munich is on FOX.

| International morning | 9:30 AM Sunday | European games start early in the US. |
| Sunday early window | 1:00 PM | Most games, shown regionally on CBS and FOX. |
