NFL Week 6 Schedule, Kickoff Times & Live Scores | NewsPixer

Every NFL Week 6 game is listed below, running from October 16 to October 20, 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 6 schedule before kickoff and a live scoreboard through the weekend.

What’s on the Week 6 schedule

Week 6 opens with Seattle Seahawks vs Denver Broncos on October 16 and closes with Washington Commanders vs San Francisco 49ers on October 20, with most games on Sunday, October 18. Los Angeles Chargers vs Kansas City Chiefs is the headline division matchup, alongside Baltimore Ravens vs Cleveland Browns, New York Jets vs New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans vs Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans vs Jacksonville Jaguars and Arizona Cardinals vs Los Angeles Rams. Dallas Cowboys vs Green Bay Packers is the standout non-division game.

Who’s on bye in Week 6

Fourteen games are played this week rather than sixteen, which means four teams are on bye. Byes widen from here through the middle of the season, so the number of fixtures changes week to week. For fantasy managers this is where lineup planning gets harder — two byes last week, four this week, and more to come.

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 6 sits in the season

A third of the season is done by the end of Week 6, and the standings have real shape. Teams sitting at 5-1 or 1-5 are no longer subject to small-sample doubt, and the division games on this slate — six of the fourteen — mean head-to-head tiebreakers start accumulating. It’s also the window where front offices decide whether they’re buying or selling ahead of the trade deadline, and where early-season injuries either resolve or turn into season-long problems.
