A quick and easy guide to SNF this season, which will include three appearances by Tom Brady
Sundays in the fall are for football with the NFL action starting in the early afternoon and going all the way through the evening. While there are a collection of games to choose from during the 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. ET windows, there's only one "Sunday Night Football" matchup on NBC.
From the Week 1 pairing of two of the NFL's oldest rivals in Chicago vs. Green Bay to a Week 3 coaching reunion between New England's Bill Belichick and Detroit's Matt Patricia to Richard Sherman's Seattle homecoming with San Francisco in Week 13, this season's "Sunday Night Football" is full of must-see matchups. Check out the full lineup below.
As for preseason, the first Sunday games take place on Aug. 26, with the first Sunday "night" game, between the Cardinals and Cowboys, starting at 8 p.m. ET.
Note: All games below are at 8:20 p.m. ET. Flex scheduling procedures go into effect beginning in Week 5, which could impact some matchups.
