The Cowboys will be on “Sunday Night Football” three times throughout the season. They’ll host the New York Giants in their annual Thanksgiving game, too. The 49ers, who will host the Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 8, will host the Jets to open the season on “Monday Night Football” in Week 1. They’ll also close out “Monday Night Football” in Week 17. The Jets are split evenly among the three networks in prime-time slots.

There are nine teams in the league with five prime-time games each this season. Four teams — the Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans, New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals — will appear in just a single prime-time game. The Cardinals’ game is an ESPN+ exclusive.

The Carolina Panthers are the only team in the league that didn’t get a prime-time game.
