Week 8 Games Worth Circling
- Eagles at Commanders, Sun 8:20 p.m. An NFC East game under the lights at Northwest Stadium, and the only Week 8 kickoff that flex scheduling can still move.
- Chiefs at Broncos, Sun 4:25 p.m. An AFC West meeting a mile above sea level in the late window.
- Browns at Steelers, Sun 1:00 p.m. AFC North at Acrisure Stadium, the fourth division game of the early window.
- Chargers at Rams, Sun 4:05 p.m. Both Los Angeles teams call SoFi Stadium home, so the visiting side does not travel. The Rams are the designated hosts. See the full Rams schedule.
- Bears at Seahawks, Mon 8:15 p.m. Monday night at Lumen Field. This is an ESPN only week, so no free over the air option.

How to Watch NFL Week 8 2026
CBS, FOX and NBC carry 12 of the 14 games for free over the air. Two need a subscription: Thursday night on Prime Video and Monday night on ESPN. There is no ABC simulcast this week, which is worth knowing if an antenna is your only way to watch.
| PLATFORM | WEEK 8 COVERAGE |
|---|---|
| CBS and Paramount+ | Six Sunday games. Paramount+ streams your local CBS station |
| FOX | Five Sunday games |
| NBC and Peacock | Sunday Night Football, subject to flex |
| Prime Video | Thursday night, Panthers at Packers |
| ESPN | Monday Night Football. No ABC simulcast this week |
| NFL Sunday Ticket | Out of market Sunday afternoon games on YouTube |
Cord cutters can reach both paid channels through YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo or DirecTV Stream. NFL+ streams local and prime time games on phone and tablet, and RedZone runs about $40 for the season as an add on.
Seven of the 14 games are division matchups, the most of any week this season. Most teams are eight games into a 17 game schedule by Sunday night, so these are the results that start to decide tiebreakers in January.
One planning note. Sunday night flex scheduling is live from Week 5 through Week 13, so the 8:20 p.m. game can still be swapped with 12 days notice. Monday night flex does not begin until Week 12.
NFL Week 8 Schedule 2026 FAQ
When is NFL Week 8 in 2026?
NFL Week 8 runs from Thursday, October 29 through Monday, November 2, 2026. It opens with Carolina at Green Bay on Thursday night and closes with Chicago at Seattle on Monday night.
Do the clocks change during NFL Week 8 2026?
Yes. Daylight saving time ends at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, so US clocks go back one hour on the morning of the Sunday slate. The Thursday game is played on daylight time and everything from Sunday onward is on standard time. Kickoff times in ET are unchanged either way, and the gap between the four US time zones stays the same, so the conversions on this page hold.
Which sheet should Arizona fans print for Week 8?
Both. Arizona does not observe daylight saving, so for the Thursday game on October 29 it matches Pacific Time, and from Sunday November 1 it matches Mountain Time. Print the Mountain sheet for the Sunday and Monday games and use the Pacific sheet for Thursday.
Which teams are on bye in Week 8 2026?
Houston, New Orleans, the New York Giants and San Francisco. That leaves 14 games and 28 teams in action.
How many Week 8 games are division matchups?
Seven of the 14, the most of any week so far. Vikings at Lions, Colts at Jaguars, Browns at Steelers, Falcons at Buccaneers, Chiefs at Broncos, Patriots at Dolphins, and Eagles at Commanders on Sunday night.
Is Monday Night Football on ABC in Week 8?
No. Chicago at Seattle is on ESPN only. Several 2026 Monday games are simulcast on ABC, but this is not one of them, so an antenna will not pick it up.
Can Week 8 kickoff times still change?
Only the Sunday night game. Flexible scheduling runs from Week 5 through Week 13 with at least 12 days notice, so the NFL can move an afternoon game into the 8:20 p.m. ET slot or move the scheduled one out. Monday night flex does not begin until Week 12.
How can I watch NFL Week 8 2026 without cable?
A digital antenna picks up CBS, FOX and NBC for free, which covers 12 of the 14 games. Two need a subscription: the Thursday game on Prime Video and the Monday game on ESPN. YouTube TV, Hulu plus Live TV, Fubo and DirecTV Stream carry both.
The NFL Week 8 Schedule 2026 brings 14 games, seven division matchups and the clock change that ends daylight saving. Every date, time and channel above is checked against the official NFL Week 8 schedule, with the Sunday night slot the only one that can still move.
