NFL Week 7

Every NFL Week 7 game is listed below, running from October 23 to October 27, 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 7 schedule before kickoff and a live scoreboard through the weekend.

What’s on the Week 7 schedule

Week 7 opens with New England Patriots vs Chicago Bears on October 23 and closes with Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles on October 27, with the bulk of the slate on Sunday, October 25. Two of the league’s oldest rivalries land in the same week: Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions and the Cowboys–Eagles meeting that closes it out. Cincinnati Bengals vs Baltimore Ravens is the other marquee division game, alongside Miami Dolphins vs New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Carolina Panthers and Cleveland Browns vs Tennessee Titans. Kansas City Chiefs vs Seattle Seahawks is the standout inter-conference matchup.

Who’s on bye in Week 7

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 7 sits in the season

Week 7 sits right before the trade deadline window, which is when the season’s shape starts driving front-office decisions rather than just narrative. Teams several games back begin fielding calls on veterans, contenders look for depth at positions thinned by injury, and the difference between 4-3 and 3-4 changes how a franchise approaches the next fortnight. On the field, the division games here start locking in tiebreakers that matter in December.
