We’ve still got several months to wait before the National Football League returns to our screens for preseason play, but it’s not too early to start getting excited about next season. Indeed, Sunday Night Football on NBC and Peacock will be back before you know it.

How to Watch

Watch Sunday Night Football on NBC and streaming on Peacock.

On Thursday night, the NFL rolled out its full schedule for the 2026-2027 season, including all the games for the Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, New York Giants, and more. All in all, the full NFL schedule features nearly 300 games spread out among the league’s 32 teams over the course of 18 weeks. It all kicks off in early September (after a few weeks of preseason play) and runs all the way through January, when the 2027 NFL Playoffs will pave the road to the 61st Super Bowl. 

So, who’s your favorite team playing this season, and which games will you be able to catch live on NBC and Peacock? Let’s take a closer look at the full 2026-2027 NFL schedule.

When does the 2026 NFL season begin?

The 2026-2027 NFL regular season is set to kick off with a Super Bowl rematch on Wednesday, September 9. The Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks will host the AFC Champion New England Patriots live from Lumen Field in Washington, kicking off at 8:20 p.m. ET live on NBC and Peacock. 

From there, opening week will progress to a single Thursday night game, then the usual Sunday slate including Sunday Night Football on NBC and Peacok, and a single Monday night game to close things out.
