Thursday nights once again belong to the NFL.

Thursday Night Football is the perfect appetizer before Sunday’s whirlwind of NFL action. Most weeks we’re treated to one game, but Thanksgiving once again offers a tripleheader, and the 2026 edition is set to deliver three must-see matchups.

The first two games feature battles between division rivals as the Detroit Lions host the Chicago Bears (1:00 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+ Premium) and the Philadelphia Eagles go on the road to challenge the Dallas Cowboys (4:05 p.m. ET on FOX, FOX One, and FOX Sports). The final game of the holiday is a potential AFC Conference Championship preview as the Buffalo Bills host the Kansas City Chiefs.
