Welcome to the first weekend of the 2026 NFL Playoffs.
Wild Card weekend kicks off with a pair of games on Saturday, starting with the Rams and Panthers in Carolina at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT) on Fox and Fox One. On Saturday night, we get a classic NFC North battle in Chicago between the Bears and Packers at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on Prime Video. Yep, you'll need Amazon's streaming service to watch Chicago and Green Bay unless you live in the local market of either team (more on that below).
On Sunday, we've got a Wild Card triple-header starting in Jacksonville with the Jaguars taking on the Bills at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) on CBS and Paramount Plus. Then, the 49ers will attempt to dethrone the defending champion Eagles in Philadelphia at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT) on Fox and Fox One, before we head to Foxboro for the Patriots and Chargers at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on NBC and Peacock.
Wild Card weekend is a three-day weekend because it doesn't end until Monday night in Pittsburgh with the Steelers hosting the Texans at 8:15 p.m. (5:15 p.m. PT) on ABC/ESPN and ESPN Unlimited.
