NFL Primetime Games 2026
Los Angeles Rams have the most primetime games in 2026: 7. Arizona Cardinals, Las Vegas Raiders, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, and Tennessee Titans have none on the slotted schedule. Week 18 has no slots yet, so its Sunday night game is not counted.
Primetime here means the night windows: Thursday night, Sunday night, Monday night, the Kickoff opener, and a standalone holiday or Saturday game that kicks off at 7 p.m. Eastern or later. Sunday-morning international games and the afternoon holiday games are not counted, and the 2002 to 2025 history uses the same rule.

NFL flex schedule 2026: which games can move
The league can move a game into a night window in these weeks: Sunday Night Football in Weeks 5 to 17, Monday Night Football in Weeks 12 to 17, Thursday Night Football in Weeks 13 to 17. Sunday night flexing may be used up to twice in Weeks 5 to 10, and Thursday night flexing may be used up to twice in Weeks 13 to 17. Only Sunday afternoon games (or those listed as TBD) are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, Monday night, or Thursday night. No later than 21 days before kickoff for Thursday night games in Weeks 13 to 17, 12 days before kickoff for Sunday night games in Weeks 5 to 13 and Monday night games in Weeks 12 to 17, 6 days before kickoff for Sunday night games in Weeks 14 to 17. The Saturday, Sunday afternoon, and Sunday night games are not assigned in advance; the Week 18 schedule is announced at the conclusion of Week 17.
Through Week 3, records mean little, so a candidate is a Sunday afternoon game with a model spread inside 6.5 points either way. The deadline is the kickoff minus the league’s notice period. Open means the league can still move that window, Locked means the notice deadline has passed, and Flexed means the league announced a change. This page lists candidates and numbers. It does not predict which game, if any, the league picks.

Flex history 2026
No flexes announced yet in 2026. This list fills in as the league moves games.
Flex rules: NFL, "2026 Flexible Scheduling Procedures and Scheduling for Week 18", confirmed September 6, 2026.
NFL primetime FAQ
- How many primetime games can a team have?
- The league's published 2026 flexible scheduling procedures set no per-team cap on primetime games or on being flexed. On the slotted 2026 schedule the high is Los Angeles Rams with 7, before Week 18 is assigned. Source: NFL, "2026 Flexible Scheduling Procedures and Scheduling for Week 18", confirmed September 6, 2026. League procedures page.
- When does the NFL announce flex changes?
- No later than 21 days before kickoff for Thursday night games in Weeks 13 to 17, 12 days before kickoff for Sunday night games in Weeks 5 to 13 and Monday night games in Weeks 12 to 17, 6 days before kickoff for Sunday night games in Weeks 14 to 17. Sunday night flexing may be used up to twice in Weeks 5 to 10, and Thursday night flexing may be used up to twice in Weeks 13 to 17. Only Sunday afternoon games (or those listed as TBD) are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, Monday night, or Thursday night. The Saturday, Sunday afternoon, and Sunday night games are not assigned in advance; the Week 18 schedule is announced at the conclusion of Week 17. Source: NFL, "2026 Flexible Scheduling Procedures and Scheduling for Week 18", confirmed September 6, 2026. League procedures page.
- Do Thanksgiving games count as primetime?
- Only the night game. The early and late Thanksgiving games, Black Friday, and the Christmas afternoon games are standalone national windows, but they are afternoon kickoffs, so MockSlate does not count them as primetime. Thanksgiving night, Christmas night, and the Thanksgiving Eve game do count. The 2002 to 2025 history follows the same rule.
