NFL Week 18 Schedule and Live Scores

All 16 NFL Week 18 games are listed below — the final weekend of the 2026 regular season — 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 18 schedule before kickoff and a live scoreboard once games are underway.

What’s on the Week 18 schedule

Every Week 18 game is a division matchup, which is how the league closes every season. That means all 16 games have direct standings consequences for the teams involved: New York Jets vs Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns vs Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers vs Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raiders vs Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Commanders, Philadelphia Eagles vs New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks vs Los Angeles Rams among them. No team is on a bye — all 32 play.

Kickoff times and the final-week format

Week 18 is scheduled differently from the rest of the season. The NFL holds back its final kickoff times until the preceding week’s results are in, so it can place the games that still matter into the biggest television windows and move games with nothing at stake out of them. Games with playoff implications for both teams are often played simultaneously to stop any side from knowing what result it needs while still on the field. Times on this page update as the league confirms them, always shown in your local timezone.

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. Week 18 is the week where watching the full slate at once matters most, because a result in one game can change what another game means while it’s still being played.

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.

What’s decided in Week 18

This is the last chance to change the playoff field. Division titles, the remaining wild-card spots, seeding and home-field advantage are all settled by Sunday night, and tiebreakers frequently come down to head-to-head results being played out in these very games. Teams already locked into their seed often rest starters, which can swing outcomes and affect other teams’ fates. Once the final whistle goes, the 14-team playoff bracket is set and wild-card weekend follows.
