Peacock Sports Pass has exclusive rights to two major NFL games.


The Wild Card Weekend was increased to six games last year and it now boasts a Monday night playoff game. It also includes the first ever, streaming only playoff game between Miami and Kansas City on the 13th at 8pm. If you haven’t already secured your access you will NOT have that game. Please remember that we include Peacock Sports Pass on the DIRECTV lineup as Channel 0 to indicate that it is streaming only.

From Wild Card weekend to the Divisional Playoffs the field gets pared back to just eight teams with the two bye week winners, Baltimore and San Francisco joining the action. This is another Saturday/Sunday schedule and features later afternoon and evening games on both days. It all winds up in the Conference Championship games on the final Sunday in January. This delivers your Super Bowl finalists and then the hype begins.

The Pro Bowl fills the intervening week and then it’s Super Bowl XLIII from the new stadium in Las Vegas. If any city is designed to host and amazing Super Bowl, Vegas is surely it. Have a great playoff run and we hope your teams stay in as long as they can, but even without local interest, you’ll be jammin’ with football fans who are ready to see how it all ends.
