Remember the days when you could turn on your television and one of three channels, NBC, ABC or CBS, would have the NFL on?
Those days are long gone.
You are going to need some variation of subscription services if you hope to watch every game this season. The 2026 NFL schedule is out, and we have broken down each week for every team.

As has been the case for multiple seasons, games aired on streaming platforms and the NFL Network will also be available on broadcast TV in local markets.
Before you know it, the season opener between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026, will be here. That Super Bowl rematch will be broadcast on NBC and Peacock.
