• Doubleheader games in television's most watched window (4:25 PM, ET) spotlighted by exciting playoff rematches with Bills at Chiefs, Chiefs at Bengals, and Rams at Buccaneers
• Multiple national appearances by Chiefs, Packers, Rams, Buccaneers, Cowboys and Bengals

CBS has officially announced their broadcast lineup for the 2022 NFL season. The schedule features riveting matchups in the Sunday 4:25 PM, ET national doubleheader window, the window that is obviously the most-watched by football fans every single Sunday afternoon.

Among the CBS' schedule highlights are re-matches of last year's insane AFC postseason overtime thrillers with Bills at Chiefs and Chiefs at Bengals, plus a cross-flex playoff rematch between the past two Super Bowl champions with Rams at Buccaneers, plus multiple national appearances by the Chiefs, Packers, Buccaneers, Cowboys and Bengals. Including the Christmas Day game, the Rams will have two national appearances on CBS this season.

The NFL on CBS broadcast schedule is the television home for the young, budding stars at quarterback in the American Football Conference, including Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs), Josh Allen (Bills), Joe Burrow (Bengals), Lamar Jackson (Ravens), and Justin Herbert (LA Chargers). In addition, the AFC has added two veteran signal callers in Russell Wilson (Broncos) and Matt Ryan (Colts).

This year's schedule also promotes the opportunity to show top National Football Conference teams and prominent cross-flex matchups, with Tom Brady (Buccaneers) and Aaron Rodgers (Packers) making multiple appearances. 

Furthermore, CBS will air a Thanksgiving Day game, a Christmas Day game, and three postseason games, culminating in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, January 29.

The NFL on CBS' 2022 regular season schedule begins on Sunday, September 11, with an NFL on CBS doubleheader.

The 2022 schedule is bookended with national Sunday doubleheaders in Week 1 and Week 18.

Highlighting the doubleheader schedule are three highly-anticipated rematches from last year's memorable and iconic postseason. The Bills will visit the Chiefs in a rematch of the AFC Divisional Playoff Game in Week 6 (Oct. 16), the Chiefs and Bengals will matchup in a rematch of the AFC Championship Game in Week 13 (Dec. 4). And the past two Super Bowl champions will meet on Sunday, November 6 when the Rams visit the Buccaneers in a cross-flex doubleheader game.

Among other important doubleheader games are Bengals at Cowboys in Week 2 (Sept. 18), Patriots at Packers in Week 4 (Oct. 2), & Bengals at Buccaneers in Week 15 (Dec. 18).

The NFL on CBS will celebrate the holidays with fans by presenting national games on Thanksgiving and Christmas. The network will broadcast the Bills at Lions game on Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 24, at 12:30 PM (ET). The network will broadcast the Broncos at Rams game on Christmas, Sunday, December 25, at 4:30 PM (ET). The Broncos-Rams game will also air on Nickelodeon, airing their annual slime-filled presentation tailored for family viewing fun.

The regular-season schedule is followed by a postseason schedule which includes a Wild Card playoff game on Saturday, January 14 or Sunday, January 15, an AFC Divisional Playoff game on Saturday, January 21 or Sunday, January 22, and the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, January 29.

The NFL on CBS' #1 announcing team of Jim Nantz, Tony Romo, and Tracy Wolfson lead CBS' 63rd year of coverage of the NFL as the broadcast network is slated to televise more than 100 games during the 18 weeks of regular season play, plus the AFC Playoffs.

CBS will also present one preseason game as the Detroit Lions visit the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, August 28 at 4:30 PM (ET).
