Football fans have a reason to get excited as the NFL continues to expand its reach. CBS has officially confirmed that it will broadcast a special prime-time game on Saturday, December 19, during Week 15 of the 2026 season.
The match is set to kick off at 8 p.m. ET. Viewers will be able to catch the action live on CBS or stream it directly through Paramount+. This addition marks a major move to bring more high-stakes football to Saturday nights.
This game will not be the only action on the field that day. Fox is also scheduled to air a game, which is expected to take place in the late afternoon slot. It appears the league is keen on turning that Saturday into a full day of entertainment for supporters.
The expansion does not stop there. NBC recently revealed plans to air two Saturday games during Week 17, with the later matchup reserved exclusively for Peacock subscribers. The league is clearly pushing to maximize its broadcast footprint as the season progresses.
As of now, the NFL is keeping fans in suspense regarding which teams will be featured in these prime-time slots. We expect to get the full picture when the league officially unveils the complete 2026 schedule this coming Thursday.
