Arizona reads the same clock as Mountain Time for the rest of the season, so Phoenix should print the Mountain sheet.

How to Watch NFL Week 12 2026
CBS, FOX and NBC carry 13 of the 16 games for free over the air, and that includes all three Thanksgiving games. Three need a subscription: Wednesday night on Netflix, Black Friday on Prime Video and Monday night on ESPN.
| PLATFORM | WEEK 12 COVERAGE |
|---|---|
| FOX | Six games: the Thanksgiving late game and five on Sunday |
| CBS and Paramount+ | Five games: the Thanksgiving early game and four on Sunday. Paramount+ streams your local CBS station |
| NBC and Peacock | Two games: Thanksgiving night and Sunday night |
| Netflix | Wednesday night, Packers at Rams |
| Prime Video | Black Friday afternoon, Broncos at Steelers |
| ESPN | Monday Night Football. No ABC simulcast this week |
| NFL Sunday Ticket | Out of market Sunday afternoon games on YouTube |
Cord cutters can reach the paid channels through YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo or DirecTV Stream, though Netflix is a separate subscription of its own. NFL+ streams local and prime time games on phone and tablet, and RedZone runs about $40 for the season as an add on.
Six of the 16 games are division matchups: Bears at Lions and Eagles at Cowboys on Thanksgiving, then Jets at Dolphins, Titans at Jaguars and Seahawks at 49ers on Sunday, and Panthers at Buccaneers on Monday night.
One planning note that changes this week. Monday night flex scheduling begins in Week 12 and runs through Week 17, so both the Sunday night and Monday night games can now be swapped with 12 days notice. Thursday night flex starts in Week 13 and can be used at most twice.
NFL Week 12 Schedule 2026 FAQ
When is NFL Week 12 in 2026?
NFL Week 12 runs from Wednesday, November 25 through Monday, November 30, 2026. It opens with Green Bay at the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday night and closes with Carolina at Tampa Bay on Monday night.
How many games are in NFL Week 12 2026?
There are 16 games and all 32 teams play. Week 12 is the only week of the 2026 season with no byes, because the league keeps everyone active through Thanksgiving. It is the first full 16 game slate since Week 4.
What days are the Week 12 games on?
Five separate days. Wednesday November 25, Thanksgiving Thursday November 26, Black Friday November 27, Sunday November 29 and Monday November 30. Most weeks use three days, so this one spreads much wider than usual.
What are the three Thanksgiving games in 2026?
Chicago at Detroit at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS, Philadelphia at Dallas at 4:30 p.m. ET on FOX, and Kansas City at Buffalo at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. Detroit and Dallas host on Thanksgiving as they do every year, and the night game rotates.
What is the Wednesday night game and why is it being played?
Green Bay at the Los Angeles Rams, 8:00 p.m. ET on Netflix. It is the first Thanksgiving Eve prime time game in league history, added so the holiday window opens a day early.
What time is the Black Friday game?
Denver at Pittsburgh, 3:00 p.m. ET on Prime Video, which is 2:00 p.m. CT, 1:00 p.m. MT and noon PT. It is an afternoon kickoff rather than a prime time one, so it does not clash with the evening slate.
Can Week 12 kickoff times still change?
Both night games can. Sunday night flex has been running since Week 5, and Monday night flex begins in Week 12 and runs through Week 17. Changes need at least 12 days notice through Week 13. Thursday night flex does not start until Week 13 and can be used at most twice.
How can I watch NFL Week 12 2026 without cable?
A digital antenna picks up CBS, FOX and NBC for free, which covers 13 of the 16 games including all three Thanksgiving games. Three need a subscription: Wednesday on Netflix, Black Friday on Prime Video and Monday night on ESPN.
The NFL Week 12 Schedule 2026 delivers 16 games over five days, the only full slate of the season and the whole Thanksgiving run from Wednesday night to Monday night. Every date, time and channel above is checked against the official NFL Week 12 schedule, with both night games now inside the flex window.
