🟅 Highlights:

• NFL Network is set to return to provide live coverage of select NFL games for the 21st consecutive year.

• Seven games (both international and stateside) can be seen exclusively on the NFL Network this season.

• For the first time, the NFL Network is now part of ESPN’s portfolio.

• NFL Network will air the first NFL regular season game from Paris (Steelers vs. Saints), in addition to International contests from London and Madrid.

• Catch a pair of Week 16 Saturday games on NFL Network — Saturday, December 26 — at 4:30 PM ET and 8:00 PM ET.

For the 21st straight year, the NFL Network will air select NFL matchups throughout the season. A new twist is the fact that the NFL Network is now owned by ESPN.

Of the NFL Network’s seven-game lineup during the 2026 season, five of them will be International Series games (Weeks 4-7 & Week 9), including the first-ever NFL regular season game from Paris. The remaining two games will be part of a late-season Saturday doubleheader in Week 16, with the network set to broadcast games at 4:30 PM ET and 8:00 PM ET, respectively, on Saturday, December 26. This is the first year that the NFL Network is part of the ESPN family, following ESPN’s acquisition of the formerly league-controlled network in 2025.

NFL Network’s seven-game schedule includes five International Series games. Highlights include the following:

• AFC South Clash: Texans-Jaguars from London (Week 6) highlights the schedule, with both teams coming off 12+ win seasons in 2025.

• Overseas Debuts: Joe Burrow (CIN), Ja’Marr Chase (CIN), and Jayden Daniels (WSH) are set to play internationally for the first time this year.

• Return of the Birds: The Eagles will have their first NFL Network appearance since 2018.

In Week 16, the NFL Network will air two of the following four games: Buccaneers-Falcons, Commanders-Vikings, Panthers-Steelers, or Bengals-Colts. These matchups will be announced at least two weeks before Saturday, December 26.
