The 2025 NFL Sunday Night Football Schedule kicks off on Sunday, Sept. 7 with the Buffalo Bills hosting the Baltimore Ravens at 8:20pm ET on NBC.
The season-opening game three days prior on Thursday, Sept. 4, which features the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles hosting the Dallas Cowboys, is also a Sunday Night Football branded contest. That game, and all remaining Sunday Night Football branded contests, will be televised at 8:20pm ET on NBC.
A Sunday Night Football branded game will also be played on Thanksgiving night, Thursday, Nov. 27. That contest features the Cincinnati Bengals visiting the Baltimore Ravens.
Sunday Night Football games in Week 5 through Week 17 are subject to change based on the NFL’s flexible scheduling:
This season, “flexible scheduling” for Sunday Night Football may be used twice between Weeks 5 and 10, and in the NFL’s discretion during Weeks 11 through 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 2025 NFL Sunday Night Football Schedule will include 20 regular-season games, with two of those contests on a Thursday. Each game will be televised by NBC and streamed via Peacock.

NFL SCHEDULES
NFL Schedule (Composite)
NFL Team Schedules (Team-by-team)
I am a Fan of NBC Sunday Night Football ever since its beginning 20 years ago plus I really like it sometimes that they are able to flex games.
too bad the Monday Night Football games have gone down in quality.
They really gave the Giants a SNF game 💀💀
Remember Joseph New York is #1 media market also I am a fan of both Giants & Jets both playing at 1:00PM early Sunday afternoon for Jets host Bills on CBS & Giants at Cowboys on FOX & speaking of FOX at 4:25PM Eagles at Chiefs rematch of Super Bowl LIX Game of the Week which actually will happen Week 2 September 14th.
It should also should be noted that the Giants drafted extremely well last month and you might laugh at me for saying this, they could surprise a lot of people this season. I’m not saying that they win the division. But the team that has won the NFC East the previous season has not repeated as the division champion in 20 years now. I think that the Eagles will break that trend. It’s looking as though the Cowboys will struggle. The Redhogs (that should be Washington’s nickname in my opinion should they change it again) are going to regress a bit. I don’t think the Giants will win the division but they could surprise many.
Matt This Eagles Fan like your comments & I wanted Redhogs be Washington’s nickname too.
@Dan Rakow, the Jets were cheeks for years, and the NBC kept them out of the Sunday Night Spotlight every year from 2011 to 2023.
There were also many years that neither NY teams were on Sunday Night, and they werent that long ago.
@Matt, they ain’t surprising anyone but themselves.
Maybe so. If I’m wrong, go ahead and mock me. We will see what happens when the season begins.
Also, the Jets were involved in a Sunday Night Football game in the 2011 Season, at home against Dallas on opening week. In 2012, while it wasn’t a Sunday Night, they appeared on NBC Thanksgiving Night that season. The infamous “Buttfumble” happened.
@Matt, The buttfumble must have been so funny, NBC kept them off the Sunday Night Spotlight for a decade.
Now with Aaron Rodgers gone, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Jets enter another Sunday Night drought.
I’d like to see these games flexed out, both at season’s end
Vikings vs Cowboys -> Packers vs Broncos
Sorry America’s Team, but I think 2 teams trying to break a wild card spot sounds more entertaining than two teams that would be sitting at 5-8 with bleak playoff hopes.
Bengals vs Dolphins -> Buccaneers vs Panthers
I expect both of them to be battling it out for the AFC South title, it would also end Carolina’s 9 year Sunday Night drought.
Panthers-Buccaneers is excellent rivalry just as very good Sanits-Falcons.
Joseph I really enjoy your suggestion of prime-time NFL games should something happen that is very appropriate with flexible scheduling.
Excellent job Buddy!!!
@Joseph, for someone who talks like they know a lot about football, this might be a rude awakening, but the Panthers and Buccaneers are in the NFC South.
