Sunday Night Football
Background
Sunday Night Football is the weekly television broadcast of National Football League games on NBC in the United States. It began airing on August 6, 2006 with the preseason game between the Oakland Raiders and the Philadelphia Eagles. NBC took over the rights to Sunday Night Football from ESPN, which had aired NFL games on Sunday nights since 1987.
The specific night of the week on which Sunday Night Football airs has varied since its inception; it has mostly been aired on Sundays, but due to conflicts with other programming schedules (such as airings of Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN), it has occasionally been moved to Mondays or Tuesdays. In 2010, Sunday Night Football began airing on Thursdays as well, but only during the first half of the NFL season (September–October); this scheduling continued through the 2013 season. The game typically airs at 8:20 p.m. Eastern Time (5:20 p.m. Pacific Time), although it starts earlier during pre-season (usually at 7:00 p.m. Eastern) and ends later in primetime (usually at 11:00 p.m. Eastern) if a game goes into overtime or if there are doubleheader games scheduled for that evening by either NBC or their sister cable channel NBCSN (which airs games from earlier in the day).
Schedule
The National Football League (NFL) schedule for Sunday Night Football in 2019 features 17 matchups on NBC, kicked off by the Chicago Bears hosting the Green Bay Packers on September 5.
Each NFL team will appear at least once on Sunday Night Football during the 2019 season. Three teams will make two appearances: the Los Angeles Rams, New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers. The San Francisco 49ers, who enter the 2019 season with high expectations, will also make a Sunday Night appearance in Week 16 against the Rams in a rematch of last year’s thrilling NFC West battle.
As always, the final Sunday Night game of the regular season will feature NBC’s flex scheduling. The league will announce which game will be played in primetime no later than 12 days before kickoff.
