Sunday Night Football Schedule 2024-25



Opening game of 2024 Sunday Night Football features the Los Angeles Rams against the Detroit Lions


The Sunday Night Football schedule for the 2024–25 NFL season is finally out, with the official NFL schedule released on May 15, 2024. As fans are eagerly waiting for the new season to get underway, which is still quite a few months away, they can start planning their Sunday night schedules as early as May.


Sunday Night Football is one of the best ways for fans to relax and enjoy the games as the weekend comes to an end. As a result, the NFL tries to keep as many key games as they can which is not only beneficial for the fans but also helps with revenue. Furthermore, it also concludes the long list of games that have taken place throughout the day at various times all over the country.


Sunday Night Football TV Channel


Sunday Night Football (SNF) belongs completely to NBC and its streaming service, Peacock. Generally, Sunday games for FOX and CBS are decided as per the following criteria:


  • AFC team games broadcast rights belong to CBS

  • NFC team games broadcast rights belong to FOX

  • Interconference games meaning AFC teams vs NFC teams broadcast rights are given to the away team’s network. (Meaning, if the away team belongs to the AFC, then CBS will broadcast the game, and vice-versa).


The upside for NBC is that Sunday Night Football is considered a primetime slot and that gives the channel exclusive rights to host these games for the entire duration of the NFL season.


Sunday Night Football Kickoff Time


Sunday Night Football kickoff time is generally 8:20 p.m. Eastern time, live on NBC and its streaming platform Peacock which provides viewers more than one option to watch the games. As this is a prime time slot, there is little to no change in the time of the games for the entirety of the NFL season.


However, it is worth noting that despite the fact that the 2024 Sunday Night Football schedule is out, a few of these games may get flexed depending on how the NFL sees fit. Therefore, it is important to keep an eye out on games that may be potentially flexed especially towards the mid to later stages of the season.



Sunday Night Football Key Matchups ( Week 2 - Chicago Bears vs Houston Texans )


With the Sunday Night Football schedule being announced on May 15, 2024, we now have the full slate of games. Even though almost every game in the prime time slot is worthy of hype around it, there are a few that stand out more than the others. Some of the interesting and key matchups on SNF are as follows:


Now this is a matchup that could potentially be electric. CJ Stroud picked up right where he left off after taking home Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Caleb Williams didn’t set pulses racing in his first NFL game under center but that was expected of the former USC rookie.


On paper, the Bears have a somewhat equal footing on defense but the Texans’ offense was pretty exciting to watch on Sunday. Stroud came close to throwing two INTs, but Week 1 was mostly a sloppy affair for all teams involved. Expect the Texans to come out firing, given they have home support for Week 2’s SNF schedule.
