NFL Week 8

Every NFL Week 8 game is listed below, running from October 30 to November 3, 2026, with each kickoff automatically converted to your local timezone. There’s no time-zone math to do and no guessing whether a listing is in ET or your own clock. Once the first game starts, scores on this page update by themselves, and final results stay here afterwards, so the same page works as a Week 8 schedule before kickoff and a live scoreboard through the weekend.

What’s on the Week 8 schedule

Week 8 opens with Carolina Panthers vs Green Bay Packers on October 30 and closes with Chicago Bears vs Seattle Seahawks on November 3, with most of the slate on Sunday, November 1. This is the most division-heavy week of the first half: Cleveland Browns vs Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs vs Denver Broncos, New England Patriots vs Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings vs Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts vs Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles vs Washington Commanders, Las Vegas Raiders vs New York Jets and Tennessee Titans vs Cincinnati Bengals are all division matchups. Los Angeles Chargers vs Los Angeles Rams adds a same-stadium meeting on top.

Who’s on bye in Week 8

Fourteen games are played this week rather than sixteen, which means four teams are on bye. Byes run through the middle of the season, so the number of fixtures changes from week to week — worth checking before setting a fantasy lineup or planning which games to watch.

Live scores that update on their own

You don’t need to refresh anything. Each fixture card shows the current score, the game state — scheduled, in progress or completed — and updates as plays happen. It’s a useful single page to keep open on a Sunday if you’re following more than one game at once, or tracking fantasy matchups across the early and late windows.

Kickoff times in your timezone

Times shown are converted to wherever you’re reading from, so a 1:00 PM ET kickoff appears at whatever hour that lands for you. This matters most for the night games, which often fall in the early hours for readers outside North America.

Individual game pages

Every fixture links through to its own page with the live score, both teams’ records going into the game, kickoff time, broadcast and streaming details for how to watch, and our reporting on both sides — injury news, recent form and what the result means for each team.

Where Week 8 sits in the season

Week 8 lands immediately before the trade deadline, which makes it the most consequential week of the first half off the field as well as on it. A loss here can flip a front office from buying to selling within days. The concentration of division games compounds that: nine of the fourteen fixtures directly affect a division race, so several teams will finish the weekend with a head-to-head tiebreaker banked and a much clearer sense of whether their season is worth investing in.
