This week by league
Only care about your teams? The football schedule maker turns them into one schedule with times and TV, and the NFL schedule maker works for any mix of NFL teams.
About this page
This page lists every game for one day across six leagues: the NFL, college football, the NBA, the NHL, and men's and women's college basketball. Games are grouped by league with start times, TV channels and, once a game starts, live and final scores from our sports data provider. Use the league chips to narrow the list and the date controls to move day by day. When a day has no games, the page jumps to the next day that does. College slates can run to well over a hundred games, so those sections show ten featured games first (live, ranked and nationally televised) with the full list one click away. Each team name links to that team's full-season schedule and printable PDF.
Plan across every league
Start times overlap on busy nights, and television assignments may arrive after a schedule is announced. TBD is an unconfirmed detail, not a missing game. Follow teams from several leagues? Your combined schedule merges them into one list and keeps a matchup only once.
