2027 NFL Week 18 Schedule
The 2026 NFL regular season reaches its final week with Week 18 on Sunday, January 10, 2027. The schedule features 16 games across the league, with several matchups potentially carrying major playoff and postseason implications.
Week 18 game times and national TV assignments are TBA. The NFL can also move selected games to Saturday, January 9, as part of its flexible scheduling process. Fans should check the latest NFL schedule and TV listings as the regular season approaches.
What to Know About Week 18
Week 18 is different from most NFL weeks because the league does not finalize every game time far in advance. The NFL uses flexible scheduling to place games with significant playoff, division, or postseason implications into the most appropriate time slots.
For fans, that means the Jan. 9 and Jan. 10 schedule should be considered subject to change until the NFL announces the official game times and TV assignments.
