CBS Sports has officially announced their schedule for the upcoming 2023 NFL season. CBS begins their 64th season of covering National Football League games. CBS' 2023 NFL schedule is highlighted by exclusive coverage of Super Bowl LVIII from Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday, February 11, 2024. Super Bowl LVIII will mark the 22nd time that CBS will televise the league's championship game, the most of any network.

The 2023 regular season slate on CBS, with more than 100 games during the 18 week regular season, is headlined by highly anticipated matchups in the Sunday 4:25 PM (ET) national doubleheader window, the most-watched window in all of television. A brief sampling of featured late games include the AFC Championship between Cincinnati and Kansas City in Week 17, the Jets visiting the Cowboys in Week 2, Buffalo at Kansas City in Week 14, and Philadelphia hosting Buffalo during Week 12 (Thanksgiving weekend).

Last year's Super Bowl champion, the Kansas City Chiefs, have at least eight CBS games scheduled during the regular season. This number is more than double than any other network. The Chiefs have six in the coveted 4:25 PM ET window alongside their Christmas Day game (1:00 PM ET) vs. the Raiders. Among the teams pegged for the national NFL on CBS doubleheader games are the Cowboys, Bills, Bengals and Jets. Plus, the 2023 schedule includes an enlarged NFC slate with multiple games featuring the Eagles, Cowboys, Giants, Bears, Packers and 49ers.

The NFL on CBS will continue to serve as the primary home for the American Football Conference (AFC), which contains a star-studded group of signal callers, including Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs), Josh Allen (Bills), Joe Burrow (Bengals), Lamar Jackson (Ravens), Justin Herbert (Chargers), Trevor Lawrence (Jaguars), Aaron Rodgers (Jets), in addition to two top-five draft picks at QB: Houston's C.J. Stroud and Indianapolis' Anthony Richardson.

Additionally, the NFL on CBS will feature divisional rivalry games on Thanksgiving (Commanders vs. Cowboys) and Christmas (Raiders vs. Chiefs) as well as a full postseason slate, including the AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl LVIII.

The NFL on CBS' 2023 regular season schedule begins on Sunday, September 10 with a national doubleheader. CBS will have 10 doubleheader slots (4:25 PM, ET) throughout the year. The 2023 schedule is bookended with doubleheaders at the start and end of the year (Week 1 & Week 2; Week 17 & Week 18). The Week 1 CBS doubleheader game at 4:25 PM ET is a re-match of Super Bowls XXXIX and LII as DeVonta Smith and the defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles face Kendrick Bourne and the New England Patriots. The Patriots plan on honoring legendary quarterback Tom Brady on that day.

This year's doubleheader window is spotlighted by the re-match of the last two AFC Championship games in Week 17 (Bengals vs. Chiefs). Also, keep in mind that CBS also has other important games at the 4:25 PM time slot -- Jets at Cowboys (Week 2), Bengals at 49ers (Week 8), Jets at Bills (Week 11), Bills at Eagles (Week 12) & Bills at Chiefs (Week 14).

CBS will celebrate the holidays by presenting games on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

CBS will be the home of the Thanksgiving Day game between the Washington Commanders and the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, November 23 at 4:30 PM (ET).

On Christmas Day, Monday, December 25, CBS Sports and Nickelodeon will team up to deliver a special Christmas gift to football fans of all ages as Davante Adams and the Las Vegas Raiders visit Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs at 1:00 PM (ET). In addition to the traditional CBS broadcast, Nickelodeon will air an NFL game for the fourth straight season.

CBS' NFL coverage will be once again be led by the #1 broadcast team of Jim Nantz (play-by-play), Tony Romo (analyst) & Tracy Wolfson (reporter), as this trio will call CBS' biggest games of the year, including Super Bowl LVIII. The network has more than 100+ games on the docket, including 18 weeks of regular season action, a Wild Card playoff game (Saturday, January 13 or Sunday, January 14), a Divisional playoff game (Saturday, January 20 or Sunday, January 21), the AFC Championship (Sunday, January 28) and Super Bowl LVIII from Las Vegas (Sunday, February 11).

CBS will also have one preseason game with the Lions visiting the Panthers on Friday, August 25 at 8:00 PM (ET).

Keep in mind, folks, that Greg Gumbel will no longer be calling NFL games after doing so for the past 25 years on CBS (Gumbel, however, will remain with CBS Sports as a studio host for college basketball). Gumbel will be replaced by Chris Lewis.

NOTE: As a side note, I am starting up a weekly broadcast and market listings report! Beginning in Week 3, I will post weekly articles showcasing the weekly broadcast information and which markets are set to receive which games, so y'all can plan your football Sundays.
