What’s changed in the NFL playoff schedule?

Not much. There are no major changes to the NFL playoff schedule this year. For the second-straight year, Amazon’s Prime Video has an exclusive game on Wild Card weekend. The streamer, which is finishing its fourth season of “Thursday Night Football” coverage, made its playoff debut last season.

For last year’s NFL playoff schedule, see page two.

I know the logistics worked out that Packers Niners had to play Saturday but hypothetically would you say that if FOX got to choose they’d rather the game in the 3pm Sunday time slot over 8pm Saturday?

I’ve been watching football for many years. We used to have season tickets. This year the playoffs suck due to having to sign up on for peacock for the playoff game. I won’t be spending more money. I think the players should say something. This is the first time I won’t be able to watch the playoffs due to the increase in paying extra for streaming. That’s it for me!

Unfortunately that’s the world we live in. Thinking about getting the kids hysterectomy’s and vasectomies for Xmas next yr. Every yr there are record breaking contracts. When does it end. The dude that built the stadiums they play in for 2-3 yrs didn’t even make as much as some of them make for sitting in a sauna for the day. NFL dumped Direct TV for YouTube Video after almost 30 year partnership for more money…
NFL dumped NBC Thursdays for Prime Video for another payout… All while making us subscribe to Amazon and pay out of our own pocket.

They have their own network (NFL Network) which we all get for free in our viewing bundle but they have no incentive to build it when they out source their content for straight up profit…
This my friends is the genius of capitalism at it’s finest… We will all bitch and complain but we will all come back to the teet.

God bless the NFL in it’s brilliance of marketing!!!!

Again, it’s time to give the NFL and streaming companies the double-barreled middle finger and stop signing up for streaming memberships required for viewing. I’ve been a 49er fan since 1979 and have spent thousands of dollars supporting the NFL through my team. If they want money, start saving by hiring athletes who play for the love of the game instead of the grotesque contracts. In the meantime, take your “inner circle pat your political and business executive buddy on the back free market” and shove it!

I agree totally. I just looked at the NFL schedual for upcoming games and I’m gonna have to miss another Miami Dolphins game because it’s on Peacock only. I have an anntena because I can’t afford to by a streaming service just to watch a game. What about people who don’t have a bank account? They can’t order a damn service if they wanted to. Yes, they are very greedy. I live to watch sports. Football, baseball, basketball and bare knuckle boxing, but talking about football, the NFL, baseball & basketball are the same way, but as if they don’t make enough money off football in every way then they sell our viewing rights too.

  For what it is worth if you want you get get NFL+ for 6 $ I think and watch all the playoffs and the super bowl on your cell phone or tablet. It such a stupid grab for money but I’m always out of state to watch my games so this is what I do. Go Ravens and good luck I hope the dolphins don’t get frostbite.

I’m sick of this $h&^. NFLis so greedy. I used to watch all miami dolphins games then Jacksonville got a team. NFL insisted on showing Jacksonville games instead. Many Sundays I don’t watch any football. Remember the fight NFL network had with cable. I’m not purchasing another streamer just to watch NFL. IT WILL BE NICE TO HAVE SUNDAYS BACK AFTER 50 SOMTHING YEARS. I HATE GREEDY NFL.

Some of us live in rural America and depend on Dish or Direct TV for network viewing…and even then they block out at least one of those! Having to subscribe to a streaming service in addition to Dish’s ridiculous rate is a financial burden. Why do the have to have streaming exclusives? Money?

Do you know if CBS will be the 4:30 Sunday Wild Card game? I remember two years ago a lotta people were surprised 49ers Cowboys was on CBS but Andrew Marchand said that CBS bought the 4:30 slot for $70 million when the playoffs expanded. (Bears Saints was in that slot the first year of the expansion on CBS too). Last year FOX had it though but I’m not sure if that was given to them since they had the Super Bowl or some other one off reason. I have also seen some places list FOX for the 1pm game and CBS 4:30.

  No, that deal is over with. CBS does get a second Wild Card game next season (and in 2029-30 and 2032-33 seasons), but that is part of its overall NFL contract.

and DISH has a contract dispute with FOX, so no local FOX for the Cowboy/49er game. So…. I have to add another subscription service over and above my DISH fees, or figure out how to find/install a 150 mile antenna. wish me luck! Either way…spending money to get FOX

  No antenna will receive a television signal 150 miles away unless under tropospheric weather conditions. 80 miles is roughly your limit, despite what the manufacturer might claim.

Niners fan here………..if the Vikings win, Niners-Vikings will be next Saturday in the divisional round. The question is will San Francisco get the same 4:30 slot that we got this week? (assuming we win) or do they give us the 8:15 primetime slot. Also, Sundays divisional games are still 3:05 and 6:40 again? Thanks.

Reply
- Paulsen says:

  Yes — 3 and 6:30 for Sunday games. As for Niners, I would imagine FOX will get the 4:30 PM window on Saturday, but I can’t make any guarantees.

Why does CBS only get one game Wild Card weekend and only one game in the Divisional Round, whereas FOX gets 2 in each round, plus the Super Bowl? Aside from the Super Bowl. does this alternate each year?

Reply
- Paulsen says:
  
  4 years ago
  
  It alternates. This is the final year of the old TV deal where NBC gets one Divisional Round game per year, alternating per conference (was NFC last year). Starting next year, ESPN/ABC gets a Divisional Rd. game, so every net (NBC, CBS, FOX and ESPN/ABC) will have one each.
  
  As for the Wild Card, the deal CBS had for the extra Wild Card game (which was simulcast on Nick) was only for two years. From here on, the split of the six-game Wild Card slate will alternate (though off the top of my head I don’t recall what the rotation will be).

Paulsen, how much of an impact of ESPN having Buck and Aikman as announcing team is for them getting the plum Cowboys-Bucs game, which is probably the most appealing game of the first round? This schedule was a bit surprising to me. But you have to think there is no way ESPN gets this game if last years broadcast team of Levy, Riddick and Brian Griese.? They would probably have gotten Jags-Chargers.

Reply

  I think it plays a legitimate role. You’re probably right about ESPN getting Jags-Chargers in the other scenario.
