The NFL has approved flex scheduling for Thursday Night Football beginning this season, the league announced on Monday.
Flexible scheduling for Thursday Night Football will begin on a “trial basis” in 2023. This will only apply to games scheduled during Week 13 through Week 17 and only up to two games can be flexed. Additionally, the league will have to provide at least twenty-eight (28) days notice for the flex.
Any game flexed out of Thursday Night Football would then be played on Sunday that week. No teams will be required to flex from Sunday to Thursday more than once or to play more than two games on Thursday night.
If no Thursday Night Football games are flexed in 2023, the trial will carry over to the 2024 season.

I’m not a fan of this. I live near the Pro Football Hall of Fame and I want my mom to take me there on December 31, but I won’t be able to do that if the Jets-Browns game gets flexed out.
“I want my mom to take me there”
oh, we should probably stop making fun of you
I will not buy a ticket to an NFL game week 13 through week 17. When I have in the past it requires hotel reservations and a whole weekend for travel. The chance for a Thursday game is too much.
At least they have to give 28 days notice though.
