NFL Week 3 Schedule and Live Scores

All 16 NFL Week 3 games are listed below, running from September 25 to September 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 3 schedule before kickoff and a live scoreboard through the weekend.

What’s on the Week 3 schedule

Week 3 opens with Atlanta Falcons vs Green Bay Packers on September 25 and closes with Philadelphia Eagles vs Chicago Bears on September 29, with most of the slate landing on Sunday, September 27. Kansas City Chiefs vs Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens vs Dallas Cowboys are the headline matchups, alongside Los Angeles Chargers vs Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams vs Denver Broncos. Division games include Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers, Houston Texans vs Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals vs San Francisco 49ers. All 32 teams are in action — byes don’t begin until later in the season.

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 3 sits in the season

Three games in is where the early-season noise starts to settle. Teams sitting at 3-0 or 0-3 after this weekend have separated themselves in a way that historically holds up: the first group converts to the playoffs at a high rate, the second rarely recovers. It’s also the point where roster decisions made in August get their first real test, injuries from the opening fortnight force lineup changes, and fantasy managers stop trusting draft position over actual production. Week 3 results carry more predictive weight than the two before them combined.
