The full 2023 NFL schedule has been released and this year, NBC’s slate includes 17 Sundays, two Thursdays, and a Saturday.

The annual kickoff game will be televised on the network, with the Lions visiting Kansas City to play the defending champion Chiefs. Then the Cowboys will visit the Giants to begin the season’s Sunday Night Football schedule.

The 49ers will visit the Seahawks for the third game of the Thanksgiving Day triple-header.

With Christmas falling on a Monday and Christmas Eve a Sunday, NBC will televise a Week 16 Saturday matchup between the Bengals and Steelers at 4:30 p.m. ET. And then Peacock will exclusively stream the 8:00 p.m. ET matchup between the Bills and Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

The Cowboys are currently scheduled for three SNF games: Week One at the Giants, Week Five at the 49ers, and Week 14 hosting the Eagles.

The Chiefs are also slated for three NBC appearances, including the kickoff game. The others will be in Week Four, when the club heads to the East Coast to face the Jets. And then Kansas City will square off with the Packers in Green Bay for Week 13.

With Sean Payton now as the team’s head coach, the Broncos are slated to host the Vikings for SNF in Week 11.

The Raiders are also scheduled to host two SNF games: Week Three against the Steelers and Week 10 against the Jets.

The final game of the 2023 regular season will be determined in January when the playoff picture begins to crystalize.

  3. Yea but come playoff time it’ll be the same old Cowboys…Just wait til next year you’ll see 🤣🤣

  5. How does Dallas rate three appearances when Philly only gets two…with one of them being against the Cowboys? I’ve never understood why the over-hyped Cowboys get so much undeserved attention and reverence. They haven’t really done much since Jimmy Jones was tossed aside.

  6. i guess Jerry Jones is the defacto NFL Commish! thats the only way you can make sense of all their prime time games they get after finishing 2nd in the division and being basically boring.

    Aside from losing playoff games, they haven’t done anything…lol. Give credit to Jerry for being great at marketing, but his teams are built for the regular season and do not have the mental fortitude to consistently win during the playoffs. After Jimmy Johnson, they have never had a true leader who can get them over the hump. Same old Cowboys.

  8. Hilarious. When ratings don’t matter, schedule more Cowboys games.

    You know how you get good ratings for a Cowboys game? Schedule them with the 49ers, the Eagles, or the Chiefs.

  9. That 49ers Seahawks Thanksgiving game will be a fun. Always a good rivalry and to finish out Turkey day? Beautiful.

  10. I don’t watch the Cowboys unless they play my team. The boorish owner, the coaching staff and overrated players aren’t intriguing to me in the least.

  11. Cowboys, love ’em or hate ’em, have fans all over America. I don’t like that nonsense “America’s team” stuff, but there is a very real fan hangover from the Aikman/Smith era and those people are crazy about their ‘Boys, even after years and years and years of middling play. So, while we may not watch the Cowboys games, there is a rabid base that does, and the NFL has bean counters all over these decisions and financial gain (through viewership numbers) is their primary goal. They know what they are doing. And while we’re on that topic, do you all remember the tiger-stripe hammer-pants that were all the rage when the Bills were perpetually losing superbowls? Money makes people do crazy things.

  12. Just stop it, the Cowboys era has been over for thirty years. Most of the fans from 70s are in long term care. And the newer fans can’t even name street in Dallas. Nothing special anymore, give it up. Cultivate some better prospect of a team on Sunday night.
