It’s been a wild 2025 NFL regular season — we now know who’s in the postseason<\/a> and who’s starting already to think about the NFL Draft.<\/a><\/p>\n But if you’re here, you might be wondering: Is there any NFL football to watch on this Thursday night like there was in 2025?<\/p>\n The answer is: Nope. There’s no NFL regular-season football on Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026. With the playoffs starting, there’s no Thursday Night Football anymore as we get ready for the postseason to kick off this weekend.<\/p>\n Let’s review all the facts as you mourn the fact that there’s no Thursday night NFL football on tonight:<\/p>\n Is there an NFL game on Thursday night?<\/p>\n No.<\/p>\n Why Is Thursday Night Football not on tonight?<\/p>\n It’s because every team has already played a Thursday game this year, and there’s no way there would be a short week playoff game for teams in the postseason. There are games on Saturday, Sunday and one on Monday.<\/p>\n What channel is Thursday Night Football on?<\/p>\n It usually streams exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.<\/p>\n When are the next NFL games?<\/p>\n The Wild Card round starts Saturday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jan. 8, 2026, 8:19 a.m. ET It’s been a wild 2025 NFL regular season — we now know…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":663851,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[77],"tags":[95878,7,6,84,95940,95941,95882,96175,96082,95896,95888,95897,95883,96084,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-663850","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl-playoffs","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-nfl-playoffs","12":"tag-sstssportsnfl","13":"tag-sstsnnfl","14":"tag-tagamerican-football","15":"tag-tagexclude-social-autopilot","16":"tag-taglocal-affiliate-arts-entertainment","17":"tag-tagnational-sports","18":"tag-tagnfl","19":"tag-tagoverall-negative","20":"tag-tagsports-news","21":"tag-tagtv-guides-reference","22":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115859703069160073","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663850\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/663851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
