2026 Sunday Night Football Schedule Unveiled
NBC has unveiled the full slate for the 2026 Sunday Night Football season, confirming that 18 marquee matchups will air on the network and its streaming partner Peacock.
The centerpiece of the overseas series will be a November 22 showdown in Mexico City where the Minnesota Vikings take on the San Francisco 49ers, giving fans a chance to experience the sport south of the border.
Traditional holiday programming will feature a Thanksgiving Night clash on November 26 between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills, a rivalry that has produced several high‑scoring encounters in recent years.
Beyond the regular season, the league also released the complete playoff picture, outlining the dates, times and venues for the Wild Card round, the Divisional round, the Conference Championships and ultimately the Super Bowl.
The championship game is slated for February 8, 2026, and will pit the Seattle Seahawks against the New England Patriots in a rematch of their 2025 meeting, a prospect that has already sparked considerable buzz among analysts and bettors alike.
All games will be available to stream on Peacock, while NBC will handle the primetime broadcast, ensuring that viewers can follow the action across both linear TV and digital platforms.
