The 2023 NFL season is finally here!
The season will last 18 weeks and total 272 games, a continuation of the greatest season ever (17-game schedule began in 2021). We’ve got a whole host of games on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, plus another Christmas tripleheader and an expanded prime schedule that includes many of the league’s best matches each week.
This year there will be some changes at CBS and Fox due to the new television contract. CBS identifies a certain number of teams it wants to promote for a certain minimum number of games and only selects AFC teams because the network has the AFC package (Fox will do the same with NFC). Under the earlier deal, CBS carried games between two AFC teams and games between conferences where the AFC team is traveling. The league could “crossover” games between CBS and Fox to increase exposure to notable games.
Games may also switch to “Monday Night Football” in the final four weeks of the season, increasing the number of “cross-flexing games on Sundays between CBS and Fox.” The NFL has the flexibility not to give primetime games to teams or give a team a maximum of seven players in the season (up from five in the previous televised contract).
The 2023 NFL schedule will look different, but it’s still an exciting change for the league. Here’s the NFL’s 2023 weekly schedule:
Note: All times are Eastern. All CBS games can be streamed on Paramount+. All NBC, Fox and ESPN games can be streamed on FuboTV.
