The NFL Week 13 Schedule 2026 runs from Thursday, December 3 through Monday, December 7. Fourteen games land on three days, with four teams on bye. Below you get every matchup, kickoff time in ET, the TV channel, and a free printable PDF built for your time zone.
Week 13 is worth printing early for one reason. It is the last week the NFL gives twelve days notice before it moves a prime time game. From Week 14 that drops to six.

How to Watch NFL Week 13 2026
CBS, FOX, NBC and ABC carry 13 of the 14 games for free over the air. Only the Thursday game sits behind a subscription, the fewest paywalled games in any week so far this season.
| PLATFORM | WEEK 13 COVERAGE |
|---|---|
| CBS and Paramount+ | Six Sunday games, including both 4:25 p.m. kickoffs. Paramount+ streams your local CBS station |
| FOX | Five Sunday games, including both 4:05 p.m. kickoffs |
| NBC and Peacock | Sunday Night Football |
| ESPN and ABC | Monday Night Football, simulcast free over the air on ABC |
| Prime Video | Thursday night, Chiefs at Rams |
| NFL Sunday Ticket | Out of market Sunday afternoon games on YouTube |
Cord cutters can reach Prime Video on its own or through an Amazon subscription, and YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo and DirecTV Stream cover the rest. NFL+ streams local and prime time games on phone and tablet, and RedZone runs about $40 for the season as an add on.
Five of the eleven Sunday afternoon games are on the network you would not expect. Lions at Falcons, Commanders at Titans and Panthers at Vikings all have NFC visitors yet air on CBS, while Jaguars at Bears and Dolphins at Broncos have AFC visitors and go to FOX. Read the channel column rather than assuming.
The flex rules change shape this week. Thursday night joins Sunday and Monday in the flex window, so every prime time slot from here to Week 17 can be swapped. Thursday needs 21 days notice and can only be used twice all season. Sunday and Monday need twelve days through this week, then only six from Week 14, which is the practical reason to print a December schedule now and check the night games again closer to kickoff.
NFL Week 13 Schedule 2026 FAQ
When is NFL Week 13 in 2026?
NFL Week 13 runs from Thursday, December 3 through Monday, December 7, 2026. It opens with Kansas City at the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night and closes with Dallas at Seattle on Monday night.
How many games are in NFL Week 13 2026?

Baltimore, Indianapolis, Las Vegas and the New York Jets. Only Arizona and Dallas have a bye left after this, in Week 14.
Can Thursday night games be moved in Week 13?
Yes, and Week 13 is the first week that is possible. Thursday night flexible scheduling runs from Week 13 through Week 17 and can be used at most twice across those five weeks, with at least 21 days notice. Sunday night flex has been running since Week 5 and Monday night since Week 12, so from here all three prime time windows can change.
How much notice does the NFL give for a flex change?
Twelve days through Week 13, then six days from Week 14 through Week 17. Thursday night is the exception at 21 days. That makes Week 13 the last week where a printed schedule has a comfortable margin before kickoff times can move.

Five of the eleven Sunday afternoon games are on the channel you would not expect. CBS usually takes the games with an AFC visitor and FOX the ones with an NFC visitor. Here Lions at Falcons, Commanders at Titans and Panthers at Vikings all have NFC visitors but air on CBS, while Jaguars at Bears and Dolphins at Broncos have AFC visitors and air on FOX.
