Thursday Night Football Schedule

The first Thursday game of the season is not technically “Thursday Night Football” as it will air on NBC with an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Fifteen of the remaining 16 games will have 8:15 p.m. ET starts on Prime Video. The Week 13 game is actually at 3 p.m. ET on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.

Here’s the Thursday Night Football schedule for the 2025-26 NFL season, as well as the opening TNF betting line for each game.

What is Thursday Night Football?

Thursday Night Football is the standalone primetime game that is played each Thursday during the NFL season, from Week 2 through Week 17.

There is a Thursday game played in Week 1, but that’s the season opener and not technically part of TNF, which is a contracted game televised by Amazon Prime Video each week. The first game is sometimes branded as Sunday Night Football on Thursday, because it’s aired on NBC. Yeah.

While Thursday games have been played in the NFL for nearly a century, TNF became an official part of the NFL schedule in 2006, with the Chiefs and Broncos playing in the first game.

When Does TNF Start?

For the purpose of television contracts, Thursday Night Football starts in Week 2. For NFL fans and bettors, however, it starts in Week 1 as the first game of the season is played on a Thursday night.

Weekly, TNF games kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET.

Where Can I Watch Thursday Night Football?

Amazon Prime Video has exclusive streaming rights to TNF in the US.

Do All Teams Play on TNF?

No, not every team in the NFL plays a Thursday night game each year.

In 2025, the Browns, Colts, Jaguars, Titans, Saints, and Panthers do not play on Thursday Night Football.

Do TNF Games Count for Fantasy Football?

Yes, Thursday Night Football games are included in your weekly fantasy scoring. The introduction of weekly TNF games added a layer of strategy for fantasy football players, as decisions have to be made well before the full extent of injuries or availability is known for Sunday games.

Thursday Night Football Betting Tips

TNF games do provide some quirks, so here’s what to look out for before playing for Thursday Night Football wagers.

Closely Monitor Injuries

TNF games are known to be without players who would have otherwise seen the field, as the short turnaround makes for less recovery time.

Little nicks can be a bigger problem on Thursday Night Football, so if a player shows up on the injury report early in the week, either bet accordingly to possibly take advantage, or wait until as close to kickoff as possible.

Keep an eye on NFL public betting trends throughout the week to see how other bettors are reacting to potential injuries.

Homefield More of an Advantage?

Night games typically provide a more raucous environment, as they are more of an event. Home teams were 10-6 on Thursday Night Football in 2024.

That’s a .625 win percentage, which is well ahead of the .524 win percentage for home teams in all NFL games last season.

Low Scoring Games Are No Longer the Norm

For a while, TNF games were considered clunkers as shorter rest and preparation led to low-scoring, sloppy games. This made betting Thursday Night Football over/unders pretty simple.

Not anymore. In 2024, 10 of the 16 games went over 40 points, while six were at 50 or above. Yes, the Seahawks and Bears played a 6-3 game in the final week of TNF last season, but that’s becoming more and more rare.
