STAMFORD, Conn. - May 14, 2025 - NBC Sunday Night Football, America's No. 1 primetime television show for an unprecedented 14 consecutive years, celebrates its 20th season showcasing high-profile matchups featuring the NFL's biggest stars and best rivalries from NFL Kickoff in September to sports' biggest spectacle - Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8, 2026, on NBC, Peacock, and Telemundo.

NBC's SNF begins its milestone 20th season with a blockbuster Kickoff Weekend. First, it's a renewal of the most-played regular-season SNF matchup as Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys visit Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts, NFL rushing leader Saquon Barkley and the Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles in NFL Kickoff '25 on Thursday, Sept. 4 on NBC, Peacock, and Telemundo. The opener marks the record 17th matchup between the clubs in NBC's SNF package and the first time Dallas and Philadelphia will meet in Week 1 since 2000.

Three nights later (Sept. 7), NBC Sports' SNF opener features the past two NFL MVPs as Lamar Jackson ('23 MVP) and the AFC North champion Baltimore Ravens visit Josh Allen ('24 MVP) and the AFC East champion Buffalo Bills in a rematch of last season's AFC Divisional Playoff - a two-point Buffalo victory. The game is the first in Buffalo's 53rd and final season at Highmark Stadium, which will make way for a new Bills' home in 2026.

The NBC Sunday Night Football schedule features eight matchups of 2024 playoff teams - including five meetings of division winners - highlighted by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, who have played in five of the last six Super Bowls, hosting Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions on October 12. With the Chiefs and Lions posting the respective best records in the AFC and NFC last season, this game marks the second-ever NBC SNF matchup of the prior season's top playoff seeds (NFL Kickoff '16 - Carolina-Denver in a Super Bowl rematch). The last Lions-Chiefs matchup was a thriller - a 21-20 Detroit victory in NFL Kickoff '23 on NBC and Peacock.

Peacock will once again stream all NBC Sunday Night Football games, including the playoffs, and the Football Night in America studio show. The exclusive Peacock Sunday Night Football Final returns with expanded postgame coverage following SNF each week. Peacock will be the exclusive national home of an NFL Week 17 game in primetime, streaming live on Saturday, Dec. 27. The Peacock Holiday Exclusive will be selected from a pool of key NFL Week 17 Saturday matchups.

The SNF announce team of Mike Tirico, Cris Collinsworth, Melissa Stark and rules analyst Terry McAulay return for their fourth season together.

Highlights of the 2025 NBC Sunday Night Football schedule:

· NBCUniversal's NFL schedule this season features three appearances by the AFC-champion Chiefs and the Dallas Cowboys (including a signature postseason rivalry game against the Green Bay Packers), plus two apiece by multiple '24 NFL Playoff teams including the Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, Minnesota Vikings, and Washington Commanders.

· Following the blockbuster opening weekend, the SNF slate of star-studded QB showdowns continues with Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers visiting Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys (Sept. 28) in a matchup of franchises that have met nine times in the postseason - second-most in NFL history. On Nov. 16, Jared Goff and the NFC North-champion Detroit Lions face Jalen Hurts and the Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles in a meeting of the NFC's top two '24 playoff seeds. One week later, on Nov. 23, another pair of '24 NFC division winning QBs (and former No. 1 overall draft picks) meet as Baker Mayfield and the NFC South-champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams. On Thanksgiving night, 2024 NFL passing leader Joe Burrow, '24 receiving "Triple Crown" winner Ja'Marr Chase and the Cincinnati Bengals face Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and the division rival Baltimore Ravens. In an AFC Divisional Playoff rematch on Dec. 7, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs host C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans. Two weeks later, Burrow and the Bengals visit the Miami Dolphins and Tua Tagovailoa, who led the NFL in completion percentage last season and passing yardage in 2023.

· Two QB Class of 2024 Matchups - In Week 2, Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy, who missed last season with an injury, makes his home debut against the Atlanta Falcons and fellow 2024 first-round draft pick Michael Penix, who started the Falcons' final three games last season. Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders, who reached the NFC Championship Game last season, host fellow 2024 first-round pick Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos on Nov. 30. Nix led the Broncos to a 10-7 record and a playoff berth last season.

Only Sunday afternoon games (or those listed as TBD) are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the initially scheduled Sunday night game would be moved to Sunday afternoon. As in prior seasons, for Week 18, the final weekend of the season, the scheduling of the Saturday, Sunday afternoon, and the Sunday night games is not assigned. Specific dates, start times, and networks for Week 18 matchups will be determined and announced following the conclusion of Week 17.
