NFL Week 16 Schedule and Live Scores

All 16 NFL Week 16 games are listed below, running from Christmas Day, December 25, through to December 29, 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 16 schedule before kickoff and a live scoreboard through the holiday weekend.

Christmas Day games

Week 16 opens with a triple-header on December 25: Houston Texans vs Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills vs Denver Broncos, and Green Bay Packers vs Chicago Bears. That last one is the oldest rivalry in the league landing on Christmas, and all three carry playoff weight this late in the season. If you’re only watching one day of football this week, this is it.

The rest of the Week 16 slate

After Christmas the week spreads out to December 29, with the largest group of games on Sunday, December 27. San Francisco 49ers vs Kansas City Chiefs is the headline matchup, alongside Cleveland Browns vs Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Rams vs Seattle Seahawks, Jacksonville Jaguars vs Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots vs New York Jets. Division games run right through the week — Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Atlanta Falcons, Cincinnati Bengals vs Indianapolis Colts, Washington Commanders vs Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers vs Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans vs Las Vegas Raiders among them. No team is on a bye, so all 32 are in action.

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. With games spread across five days this week, it’s worth keeping this page open rather than hunting for individual scores.

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. That matters more than usual for a holiday week, when start times shift away from the standard Sunday windows and the late games can 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’s position.

Where Week 16 sits in the season

With two weeks left after this one, Week 16 is where most playoff spots are effectively decided. Teams already in are jockeying for seeding and a home game in January; teams on the bubble are running out of chances to control their own fate. The Christmas Day games and the 49ers–Chiefs meeting are the ones most likely to move the seeding picture.
