We’ve got a whole long weekend of football in store for us in the coming days, and it’s all headlined by two great games on NBC and Peacock.
So, to get you ready for Turkey Day, let’s take a closer look at all the NFL action you’ll get this Thanksgiving weekend.

Thanksgiving Football on NBC and Peacock
The NFL is bringing you three Thanksgiving Day football matchups this year, and while the other two will also be worth watching, NBC and the Sunday Night Football crew will have a primetime game that’s just perfect for watching after your turkey nap.
The Miami Dolphins will head to Green Bay to face the Packers at historic Lambeau Field, as the Pack try to stay in the Wild Card hunt in the NFC, and the Dolphins try to turn their season around with a statement win on a holiday. Plus, like every other Thanksgiving game, the matchup will feature a tribute to legendary coach and broadcaster John Madden, who loved Thanksgiving games and was a regular fixture of the NFL’s Turkey Day festivities.
