NFL Games Today: Sunday TV Schedule, Channels, Live Stream Options, and More
Week 18’s Sunday slate matches Week 17 in the amount of Sunday NFL games today with 14. The NFL begins and ends the season with teams playing against divisional rivals, so all 14 matchups today are intradivisional affairs. Here’s how to watch every game on Sunday in Week 18.
Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
The first of the early NFL games today features an AFC North matchup with just bragging rights on the line. The Browns have surged into the AFC’s fifth seed with some elite QB play from 38-year-old veteran Joe Flacco.
While rookie QB Jake Browning did his best to keep the Bengals in the playoff hunt, back-to-back losses eliminated them in a crowded AFC Wild Card room.
Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
The only way the Lions can move is up in their NFC North battle against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18. Last week’s loss to the Cowboys stung but doesn’t stop them from getting the second overall seed this week.

It starts with finishing their sweep of the Vikings and then hoping for Commanders and Giants upsets to move Detroit back into the NFC’s No. 2 seed.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
After jumping out to an 8-3 start, the Jacksonville Jaguars are holding onto the AFC South title by the skin of their teeth. A four-game losing streak from Weeks 13-16 has the Colts and Texans on their heels.
While Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence wants to get Jacksonville’s win over the Tennessee Titans to win the AFC South, will his shoulder injury hold him back?
New York Jets at New England Patriots
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
While the other two AFC East members play tonight for the division, the matchup between the New York Jets and New England Patriots features two franchises with significant questions to answer this offseason.
While the Jets anxiously await the return of Aaron Rodgers next season, can a win over a division rival help Bill Belichick stay another year in New England?
Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
While the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints can make the playoffs, they need some help. If Atlanta wins, the Falcons need the Panthers to take down the Buccaneers, and the NFC South is theirs. The Saints have another option: securing the seventh seed with a win and a Packers loss.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
Speaking of the NFC South, the final matchup in the division this season sees the Tampa Bay Buccaneers taking on the Carolina Panthers. Tampa Bay had a chance to win the division last week but was beaten by the Saints.
Another win-and-in scenario for the Buccaneers, but an upset from Carolina would force Tampa Bay’s front office to make some hard decisions this offseason.
Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers
- Start time: 4:25 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
The first of the late afternoon NFL games today sees the Chicago Bears heading to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers. It’s been an up-and-down year for Green Bay.

After their 2-5 start, the Packers battled back as QB Jordan Love became more comfortable under center with every week. Can they finish off Love’s first season with a playoff berth?
Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders
- Start time: 4:25 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
The Denver Broncos were in a similar spot as the Packers this season. Starting 1-5, a chance at a playoff berth seemed bleak. Denver would get back over .500, but going 2-3 over the last five weeks officially killed any postseason dreams.
Meanwhile, Las Vegas Raiders interim HC Antonio Pierce has impressed. Could one more win get him the permanent gig?
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants
- Start time: 4:25 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
The Philadelphia Eagles have a playoff berth clinched, but can they steal the NFC East in Week 18? They get a favorable matchup to take care of things, heading to MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Giants. A win and Dallas loss pushes Philadelphia back to the second seed.
Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals
- Start time: 4:25 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
The Arizona Cardinals pulled off a huge upset last week, beating the Eagles 35-31. 2023 was a punt year for the Cardinals, given Kyler Murray’s injury and hiring a rookie head coach heading into the season.
Meanwhile, while injuries have hampered the Seattle Seahawks’ postseason hopes, they still have a chance with a win today. Can they get the help they need?
Kansas City Chiefs at Los Angeles Chargers
- Start time: 4:25 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
A battle of backup QBs goes down when the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers face off today. Chargers QB Justin Herbert has been out since Week 14 after fracturing his finger.
Easton Stick has handled duties under center since. With the Chiefs seeding unaffected by today’s game, QB Patrick Mahomes is also out, putting Blaine Gabbert under center.
Los Angeles Rams at San Francisco 49ers
- Start time: 4:25 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
This NFC West battle between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers will be without quite a few faces as both teams have clinched playoff berths.

San Francisco plans on sitting QB Brock Purdy and RB Christian McCaffery, while the Rams will give QB Matthew Stafford, WR Cooper Kupp, and DT Aaron Donald the day off, among others.
Dallas Cowboys at Washington Commanders
- Start time: 4:25 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
The Dallas Cowboys, like a few other teams, have one mission: win and clinch the NFC East. Dallas was given another gift with the Eagles implosion last week and must take advantage of it with a date against the Washington Commanders.
While some people will not be back in Washington next year, the team needs to treat today as their last audition to return in 2024.
Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins
- Start time: 8:20 p.m. ET
- Channel: NBC
- Live stream options: Peacock
The last game of the 2023 NFL regular season features a clash for the AFC East and AFC’s No. 2 seed when the Buffalo Bills take on the Miami Dolphins in Hard Rock Stadium.
The Bills have been surging on a four-game win streak to thrust themselves back into playoff contention. While Miami has led the AFC East all season, can they break out of their funk to clinch the division?
