How Many NFL Games Are There on Sunday?
The National Football League (NFL) is the most popular professional American football league, consisting of 32 teams. The NFL season usually runs from September to December, with each team playing 16 games. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 NFL season will be played over 17 weeks with each team playing 16 games. Sundays are typically when most NFL games are played, although there are also games on Mondays and Thursdays.
The answer may surprise you!
There are normally 16 NFL games played on Sunday. However, there are occasionally 17 or 18 games played, depending on whether or not there are any bye weeks or if any games need to be made up due to weather postponements. The NFL usually doesn’t schedule more than 16 games in a week so that every team has a chance to rest and prepare for the next week.
There are actually only ten games.
While there are actually only ten games, the NFL schedules them so that there are three games played at 1:00 p.m. EST, three games played at 4:05 p.m. EST, and four games played at 8:20 p.m. EST. This way, every team gets to play on Sunday, and fans have a full day of football to watch.
