We finally got our first look at the 2022 NFL schedule, and with it a look at the league’s primetime lineup. There are three main primetime franchises: Sunday Night Football on NBC, Monday Night Football on ESPN, and Thursday Night Football, which will be exclusive to Amazon Prime Video this season.
The NFL Network will carry two primetime games on Saturdays late in the season, in Week 15 and Week 16. The matchup for the first game is yet to be determined, but the Week 16 contest will feature the Raiders and the Steelers. That’s not the only Saturday primetime game on tap this year. ESPN and ABC will feature a Week 18 contest, the second game of a double header on those channels that day, with the matchup to be determined.
And don’t forget about flex scheduling. From Week 5 through 15 and again in Week 17, the Sunday Night Football matchup is subject to change based on how the league sees fit to shuffle the schedule in those weeks. The final Sunday night game of the season won’t be nailed down until Week 18, when the league puts the biggest matchup with playoff stakes on the line into the primetime slot to cap off the regular season.
