For sports fans, few traditions are better than Thanksgiving football.
This year, the NFL's Turkey Day slate features two divisional showdowns and a matchup rich with playoff implications.
Here is everything that you need to know to watch the NFL on Thanksgiving, including a complete schedule with TV and live stream information for every game.
What teams are playing on Thanksgiving 2024?
| Game | Time (ET) | TV channel |
|---|---|---|
| Lions vs. Bears | 12:30 p.m. | CBS, Fubo |
| Cowboys vs. Giants | 4:30 p.m. | FOX, Fubo |
| Packers vs. Dolphins | 8:20 p.m. | NBC, Fubo, Peacock |
Per usual, the Thanksgiving slate begins in the Motor City, with the stalwart Lions hosting the Bears in an NFC North showdown.
Detroit has established itself as a bona fide Super Bowl contender, but Dan Campbell's team still has to slay its Turkey Day demons: The Lions have lost seven consecutive games on Thanksgiving, with their last win occurring in 2016. Three of those losses came against the Bears, with Caleb Williams and company vying to add a fourth loss to that total.
In the second game, the Cowboys host the Giants in an NFC East showdown, with both teams hoping to turn their seasons around — without their starting quarterbacks. Cooper Rush is poised to start his fourth consecutive game in place of the injured Dak Prescott, while New York has turned to Tommy DeVito after releasing Daniel Jones.
And in the nightcap, Jordan Love's Packers welcome Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins to the Frozen Tundra. Green Bay aims to improve upon its playoff positioning in a crowded NFC, while Miami tries to ride a late-season surge to vault itself back into the AFC playoff race.
