Games to Watch
Sunday Night Football: Rams at Broncos brings together the two teams that met in last season's conference championship games.
International game: Ravens at Cowboys is played in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, kicking off in the late-afternoon window.
Get-right game: Texans at Colts pairs the two teams still searching for their first win of the season.
Monday Night Football, September 28: Eagles at Bears airs at 8:15 PM ET on ESPN/ABC, closing out Week 3.
Why Kickoff Times Vary Week to Week
The NFL sets most of the schedule months in advance, but reserves the right to "flex" late-season Sunday games into better time slots once it's clear which matchups matter most for playoff positioning. That mostly affects Weeks 13 through 18 — this early in the season, the times and networks below are locked in and won't change. Early games kick off at 1:00 PM ET to fit the East Coast lunch window; the late window splits into 4:05 and 4:25 PM ET so each region gets its home team's game without every game overlapping at once.

Tracking Multiple Games at Once
With nine games in the same 1:00 PM window, no single app shows all of them live on one screen. NFL RedZone solves that for the scoring plays specifically — it cuts between every ongoing game whenever a team nears the end zone, so you catch the big moments without flipping channels yourself. Outside of RedZone, most streaming apps let you follow live scores and stats for every game in progress even while you're watching one of them, which is the more realistic way to keep tabs on the full slate.
If your local market only gets one of the nine 1:00 PM games over antenna, checking the schedule above before kickoff tells you which paid app — Fox One or Paramount+ — covers a specific out-of-market matchup instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
What time do most Sunday NFL games start?
The early window kicks off at 1:00 PM ET, with a second window at 4:05 or 4:25 PM ET and Sunday Night Football at 8:20 PM ET.
Why do some Sunday games air on Fox and others on CBS?
Fox carries mostly NFC games, CBS carries mostly AFC games — interconference matchups go to whichever network holds the away team's conference that week.
Can I watch every Sunday game for free?
Only the ones airing on your local Fox, CBS, or NBC affiliate, and only with an antenna — no app streams every Sunday game for free.
Why can't I find my team's game on this list?
Not every team plays every Sunday — teams have one bye week during the season, and some weeks also include Thursday or Monday matchups that aren't part of the Sunday slate.
What is NFL RedZone and is it part of this schedule?
RedZone is a separate whip-around channel that jumps between every live Sunday afternoon game during scoring drives — it's not tied to one network and requires its own add-on through NFL+, YouTube TV, or a cable provider.
