The 2022 NFL Sunday Night Football Schedule kicks off with a special season-opening game on Thursday, Sept. 8. The Los Angeles Rams host the Buffalo Bills at 8:20pm ET on NBC.
Games on Sunday begin on Sept. 11 with the Dallas Cowboys hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That game, as well as all remaining Sunday Night Football branded games, will be televised at 8:20pm ET on NBC.
A Sunday Night Football branded game will also be played on Thanksgiving night, Thursday, Nov. 24. That contest features the Minnesota Vikings hosting the New England Patriots.
Sunday Night Football games in Weeks 5-15 and Week 17 are subject to change based on the NFL’s flexible scheduling:
This season, “Flexible scheduling” for Sunday night may be used twice between Weeks 5-10, and during Weeks 11-15 and Week 17. In weeks of the season eligible for “flexible scheduling,” the games listed for the Sunday night window are tentative and subject to change. Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game would be moved to a Sunday afternoon.
Overall, the 2022 NFL Sunday Night Football Schedule on NBC will include 20 regular-season games, with two of those contests on a Thursday.
