By Sarah Miller · May 12, 2035

NFL games tomorrow are typically scheduled across three main time slots: 1:00 PM ET, 4:05 PM ET or 4:25 PM ET, and 8:20 PM ET for the primetime matchup. The exact times depend on your region, network broadcast agreements, and whether there are any special international or holiday games.

When Are NFL Games Played Tomorrow?

The National Football League (NFL) follows a consistent weekly schedule, with most regular-season games occurring on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays. For tomorrow's matchups, fans can expect kickoffs during standard windows:

Early Afternoon Games: 1:00 PM Eastern Time (10:00 AM Pacific)
Late Afternoon Games: 4:05 PM or 4:25 PM ET (1:05 PM or 1:25 PM PT)
Primetime Game: 8:20 PM ET (5:20 PM PT)

These times may vary slightly due to broadcasting contracts, stadium location, or special events like London Games or Thanksgiving Day matchups.

How Kickoff Times Are Determined

The NFL schedules game times based on television networks, geographic regions, and competitive balance. Not all games are shown in every market, so local broadcasts often determine which games air when.

Key Factors Influencing Game Times

TV Network Agreements: CBS and FOX broadcast regional Sunday afternoon games; NBC airs Sunday Night Football; ESPN hosts Monday Night Football; Amazon Prime streams Thursday Night Football.
Regional Coverage: Markets with multiple fan bases may see different games depending on team popularity and standings.
Flexible Scheduling: Introduced mid-season, this allows the league to move compelling late-season games into more prominent time slots.
International Games: Matches played in London or Germany may have earlier start times (e.g., 9:30 AM ET).
