The NFL has adjusted its Week 17 schedule, moving the Green Bay Packers versus Minnesota Vikings game to a more prominent 4:25 p.m. ET slot on Sunday. This change was made to showcase what is now seen as a more compelling matchup, given other games have lost some of their appeal due to playoff implications and player injuries.
Originally scheduled for 1 p.m. ET, the Packers-Vikings clash was swapped with the Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles game. The decision reflects the perceived higher stakes and entertainment value of the NFC North battle, as the Cowboys are no longer in playoff contention and the Eagles will be without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts. This ensures that a significant rivalry will get the spotlight in a late afternoon time slot.
Fans looking to tune in can find the game on Fox. Several streaming options are available as well, including Fubo, DirecTV, and NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube. This variety of platforms ensures that viewers can access the game through their preferred method.
The Packers-Vikings game is set to kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET / 1:25 p.m. PT. This time shift means fans should adjust their schedules accordingly to not miss any of the action. The game will be broadcast on the Fox television network, and can also be accessed through various streaming services.
For those seeking to follow the game live, real-time updates will be accessible online. The contest promises to be a significant matchup with playoff implications for both teams. This shift will also allow for a bigger audience to be able to tune into this anticipated NFC North divisional showdown.
This week's NFL schedule also includes other notable matchups. The Christmas Day games feature the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans. Additionally, several Saturday and Sunday games are slated, all of which provide plenty of football action.
In addition to these options, numerous platforms offer access to NFL games throughout the season. These include NFL+, FuboTV, Amazon Prime Video and various digital antenna and streaming services. This availability allows football fans to enjoy live game coverage throughout the 2024 season.
