NFL coverage map 2022: TV schedule Week 17

Week 17 is full of games with playoff implications, including Dolphins-Patriots and Panthers-Buccaneers, but what NFL action will be available in your area?

The NFL regular season is winding down and we have just two full Sundays left of action before the playoffs begin. Besides the obvious postseason implications, Week 17 is also important to fantasy football owners with championships on the line in most sane leagues.

There are a lot of huge contests set for this week, including Dolphins-Patriots and Panthers-Buccaneers, but what games will be available in your area? Check out this week’s NFL TV Coverage Maps, courtesy of 506 Sports, for that information as well as who is going to call each game.

NFL Week 17 TV Coverage Maps

Thursday, Dec. 29

Thursday Night Football (Amazon Prime)

Dallas Cowboys (11-4) at Tennessee Titans (7-8): Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreit

The final NFL game of the calendar year is also the last Thursday night contest of the season. There are massive playoff implications in this game as Dallas tries to keep the pressure on Philadelphia in the NFC East while the Titans try to snap an ill-timed five-game losing skid.

Sunday, Jan. 1

FOX (Singleheader)

Carolina Panthers (6-9) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-8) (Red): Kevin Burkhardt, Greg Olsen

New Orleans Saints (6-9) at Philadelphia Eagles (13-2) (Dark Blue): Joe Davis, Daryl Johnston

Chicago Bears (3-12) at Detroit Lions (7-8) (Green): Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilma

Cleveland Browns (6-9) at Washington Commanders (7-7-1) (Orange): Adam Amin, Mark Schlereth

Arizona Cardinals (4-11) at Atlanta Falcons (5-10) (Purple): Jason Benetti, Brady Quinn

San Francisco 49ers (11-4) at Las Vegas Raiders (6-9) (Yellow, 4:05 p.m.): Kevin Kugler, Mark Sanchez

New York Jets (7-8) at Seattle Seahawks (7-8) (Light Blue, 4:05 p.m.): Chris Myers, Robert Smith

FOX has seven games across its single header window but none of them feature two teams with winning records. The best games are the Panthers-Buccaneers contest at 1, which could determine the winner of the NFC South, and the Jets-Seahawks game at 4:05 which could be a knockout game for the loser.

CBS (Early Window)

Miami Dolphins (8-7) at New England Patriots (7-8) (Red): Ian Eagle, Charles Davis

Indianapolis Colts (4-10-1) at New York Giants (8-6-1) (Blue): Kevin Harlan, Trent Green

Denver Broncos (4-11) at Kansas City Chiefs (12-3) (Green): Greg Gumbel, Adam Archuleta

Jacksonville Jaguars (7-8) at Houston Texans (2-12-1) (Yellow): Andrew Catalon, James Lofton

CBS’ early window will see most of the country get either the critical Dolphins-Patriots matchup or watch Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs try to stay alive for the top overall seed in the AFC against the Denver Broncos, who will look for a bump after firing Nathaniel Hackett earlier this week. The New York Giants can also clinch a playoff spot with a win over the Indianapolis Colts this week.

CBS (Late Window)

Minnesota Vikings (12-3) at Green Bay Packers (7-8) (Red): Jim Nantz, Tony Romo

Los Angeles Rams (5-10) at Los Angeles Chargers (9-6) (Blue): Spero Dedes, Jay Feely

Most of the country will get the NFC North showdown between the Vikings and red-hot Packers as Jim Nantz and Tony Romo head to Lambeau Field for this huge game. The battle of Los Angeles, which was flexed out of Sunday Night Football, will only be seen in Los Angeles and parts of Oregon.

Sunday Night Football (NBC)

Pittsburgh Steelers (7-8) at Baltimore Ravens (10-5): Mike Tirico, Cris Collinsworth

In a curious move, the NFL flexed out Rams-Chargers for this game, which could see Pittsburgh eliminated from playoff contention before they even take the field and may not have Lamar Jackson, who is still working his way back from a knee injury. The always-intense nature of this rivalry, however, could lead to a compelling contest.

Monday, Jan. 2

Monday Night Football (ESPN/ABC)

Buffalo Bills (12-3) at Cincinnati Bengals (11-4): Joe Buck, Troy Aikman

The week’s best game comes on Monday night as the Bills travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals in a contest that has massive seeding implications in the AFC. There will not be a Manningcast since ESPN2 will be occupied with bowl games but the matchup will be simulcast on ABC.
