STAMFORD, Conn. - April 17, 2019 - NBC Sunday Night Football, America's No. 1 primetime television show for an unprecedented eight consecutive years, gets "Back to Football," broadcasting 19 NFL games during the 2019 regular season.

NBC, the first network to broadcast an NFL game (Philadelphia Eagles at Brooklyn Dodgers, Oct. 22, 1939 from Ebbets Field), will televise the first game of the NFL's milestone 100th season on Thursday, Sept. 5, from Soldier Field in Chicago, as Khalil Mack and the defending NFC North-champion Bears host Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers in NFL Kickoff 2019 at 8:20 p.m. ET. Packers-Bears is the most-played rivalry in NFL history, with the Kickoff game the 199th meeting between the clubs (first game was Nov. 27, 1921).

Then, in the season opener of Sunday Night Football on Sunday, Sept. 8, New England will raise its sixth Super Bowl banner at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., before Tom Brady and the Patriots host Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Roethlisberger-Brady meeting in Week 1 is the first of an NBC SNF schedule packed with star-studded quarterback matchups, headlined by 2018 NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes facing two-time MVP Aaron Rodgers for the first time, as the Kansas City Chiefs host the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 27.
In addition to kicking off the 2019 NFL season, NBC will also broadcast a Divisional Playoff game on the weekend of January 11-12, and a Wild Card Playoff game on the January 4-5 weekend.

Highlights of the 2019 NBC Sunday Night Football schedule:
· All 18 scheduled NBC SNF games feature at least one 2018 playoff team (Week 17 game TBD) - up from 14 such matchups last year. In addition, nine contests feature both clubs from the 2018 postseason, highlighted by a rematch of last year's AFC Divisional Playoff, as Andrew Luck and the Colts again visit Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs (Oct. 6).

· All 2018 NFL playoff teams are on the NBC SNF schedule, including three games each for the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, NFC champion Los Angeles Rams, AFC West champion Kansas City Chiefs, NFC East champion Dallas Cowboys, NFC North champion Chicago Bears, and NFC Wild Card Philadelphia Eagles.

· Matchup milestones: Eagles-Cowboys on Oct. 20 is the 13th meeting between the clubs on SNF - ranking as the most-played matchup in NBC SNF history (since 2006). In addition, it marks the 11th consecutive season for the matchup on SNF - the longest streak for any matchup on the broadcast primetime package in NFL history (ABC 1970-2005; NBC 2006-present).

· Other notable games: Roethlisberger and the Steelers battle 2004 Draft classmate Philip Rivers and the Chargers in Los Angeles on Oct. 13; Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints visit Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons on Thanksgiving night, after the clubs met in New Orleans last year on the holiday; and NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald and the Rams host the Bears on Nov. 17 as they look to avenge last year's Week 14 SNF loss in Chicago.

· The SNF slate features multiple appearances by star QBs Russell Wilson of the Seahawks, Jared Goff of the Rams, Dak Prescott of the Cowboys, and Carson Wentz of the Eagles.

· First SNF Game in Cleveland in 11 Years: On Sept. 22, NBC will broadcast its first Browns game in Cleveland since 2008, as Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham, Jr. and Jarvis Landry face the NFC champion Los Angeles Rams. The game also marks the Browns' 2019 primetime debut at home.
· Celebrating the NFL's 100th Season - In addition to the Packers-Bears NFL Kickoff matchup on NBC, and the only two teams to win six Super Bowls (Steelers and Patriots) featured in the SNF opener, the Oct. 27 Rodgers-Mahomes QB showdown highlights Packers vs. Chiefs - the two teams who faced off in Super Bowl I on January 15, 1967.

NBC TO BROADCAST 23 NFL GAMES IN 2019: As part of the agreement NBC signed with the NFL in December 2011, the network will broadcast 19 regular-season games, including 17 regular-season Sunday Night Football games, NFL Kickoff 2019, and the annual Thanksgiving night game. NBC's original Sunday Night Football agreement, which began in 2006, included 17 regular-season games. It was increased to 18 games in 2010. NBC will broadcast a Divisional Playoff game and a Wild Card Playoff game. In the preseason, NBC will televise the NFL Hall of Fame Game (Falcons-Broncos) in primetime on Thursday, Aug. 1, and Steelers-Titans on Sunday night, Aug. 25.

FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING: Flexible scheduling will be used in Weeks 11-17. Additionally, in Weeks 5-10, flexible scheduling may be used in no more than two weeks. In Weeks 5-16, the schedule lists the games tentatively set for Sunday Night Football on NBC. Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game would be moved to an afternoon start time. Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday or Monday nights.

A flexible scheduling move would be announced at least 12 days before the game. For Week 17, the Sunday night game will be announced no later than six days prior to December 29. The schedule does not list a Sunday night game in Week 17, but an afternoon game with playoff implications will be moved to that time slot. Flexible scheduling ensures quality matchups in all Sunday time slots in those weeks, and gives "surprise" teams a chance to play their way into prime time.

STAMFORD, Conn. - June 27, 2018 - NBC Sports today named Terry McAulay as an on-air rules analyst for NBC Sunday Night Football, Football Night in America, and Notre Dame Football.

STAMFORD, Conn. - April 19, 2018 - NBC Sunday Night Football, America's No. 1 primetime television show for a record seven consecutive years, gets "Back to Football" broadcasting 19 NFL games during the 2018 regular season. It all begins with the Philadelphia Eagles raising their first-ever Super Bowl banner at NFL Kickoff 2018 on Thursday, Sept. 6 as they host the Atlanta Falcons in a Divisional Playoff rematch. Then it's the season opener of Sunday Night Football at Lambeau Field on Sunday, Sept. 9 as Aaron Rodgers leads the Green Bay Packers in the first game of their historic 100th season against the rival Chicago Bears. NBC Sunday Night Football will have a new, earlier kickoff time of 8:20 p.m. ET - 10 minutes earlier than last year.

The star-studded SNF matchups continue in Week 2 as Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott and the Dallas Cowboys host Eli Manning, Odell Beckham Jr. and the New York Giants. The Sept. 16 Giants-Cowboys game marks the 12th meeting between the clubs on SNF - tying with Cowboys-Eagles (Nov. 11) as the most-played matchup in NBC SNF history (since 2006). The Sept. 16 contest also marks the fourth Cowboys' home opener in the past six years on NBC SNF.

In addition to kicking off the 2018 NFL season, NBC will also broadcast a Divisional Playoff game on the weekend of January 12-13, and a Wild Card Playoff game on the January 5-6 weekend.
Highlights of the 2018 Sunday Night Football schedule:
· Every 2017 division winner makes an appearance on Sunday Night Football; 14 of NBC's 18 scheduled games (Week 17 game TBD) involve at least one playoff team from last season, highlighted by rematches of three Divisional Playoff games (Falcons-Eagles on Sept. 6; Saints-Vikings on Oct. 28; and Steelers-Jaguars on Nov. 18). Last year's New Orleans-Minnesota NFC Divisional Playoff became known as the "Minnesota Miracle" after Vikings WR Stefon Diggs' 61-yard catch-and-run as time expired marked the first postseason game in NFL history to end with a winning touchdown on the final play of the fourth quarter.

In Weeks 5-16, the schedule lists the games tentatively set for Sunday Night Football on NBC. Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game would be moved to an afternoon start time. Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday or Monday nights.

A flexible scheduling move would be announced at least 12 days before the game. For Week 17, the Sunday night game will be announced no later than six days prior to December 30.

NBC “SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL” HONORED BY PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME FOR RECORD SIX CONSECUTIVE SEASONS AS PRIMETIME TV’S #1 SHOW

NBC “SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL” HONORED BY PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME FOR RECORD SIX CONSECUTIVE SEASONS AS PRIMETIME TV’S #1 SHOW

Hall of Fame Display Includes Sunday Night Football Highlight Reel, Al Michaels’ Spotting Board from Super Bowl XLIX, Carrie Underwood’s Dress & Shoes From This Year’s SNF Show Open & Mementos From Top SNF Moments

CANTON, Ohio – August 4, 2017 – NBC Sunday Night Football was honored today by the Pro Football Hall of Fame for its record six consecutive TV seasons as primetime television’s #1 show.

The SNF on-air team of Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth and Michele Tafoya joined executive producer Fred Gaudelli and director Drew Esocoff at the debut of a new NBC Sunday Night Football display in the Interactive Exhibit Gallery at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

“The Pro Football Hall of Fame celebrates excellence everywhere,” said Hall of Fame President David Baker. “We are excited to recognize NBC Sunday Night Football for its tremendous presentation of our great game to more than 20 million Americans each week and its record run as the #1 show in all of primetime television.”

In April 2005, NBC acquired Sunday Night Football in a six-year agreement, announced by Dick Ebersol, Chairman, NBC Universal Sports & Olympics and NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue. In December 2011, NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke, NBC Sports Group Chairman Mark Lazarus, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced a nine-year extension of NBC’s Sunday Night Football package, beginning in 2014 and running through the 2022 NFL season.

The centerpiece of the Hall of Fame display reads as follows:

In September 2006, NBC Sunday Night Football made its debut as the NFL’s premier primetime package, with Al Michaels and John Madden in the broadcast booth and Andrea Kremer on the sideline. Over the years, the oft-honored, critically-acclaimed SNF series has been the home of many of the NFL’s most memorable moments while becoming a TV ratings hit. Since the show began, it has been produced by Fred Gaudelli and directed by Drew Esocoff.

Five years after the series launch, NBC Sunday Night Football – featuring Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth in the booth and Michele Tafoya on the sideline – averaged more than 21 million viewers to become the first-ever sports series to rank as primetime TV’s #1 show for a full TV season (2011-12). Sunday Night Football has been TV’s top primetime show every season since – a streak no other program can top.

Among the items displayed in the NBC Sunday Night Football exhibit:

• Al Michaels’ spotting board (created by “Malibu” Kelly Hayes) for Super Bowl XLIX on NBC – New England’s thrilling four-point victory over Seattle, which is the most-watched program in U.S. TV history (114.4 million viewers).
• Carrie Underwood’s dress, shoes, and jewelry from the 2017 SNF show open.
• The Sports Emmy for Outstanding Live Sports Series won by Sunday Night Football for the 2015 NFL season.
• The Sunday Night Football bus “Player of the Game” football from Oct. 19, 2014 – when Broncos’ QB Peyton Manning broke Brett Favre’s record for career touchdown passes.
• A highlight reel chronicling memorable moments in the history of NBC Sunday Night Football.

NBC Sunday Night Football finished the 2016-17 TV season as primetime’s #1 TV show in all key metrics for a record sixth consecutive year – tying American Idol for the most consecutive years atop the charts (since 1950), based on live plus same day data provided by The Nielsen Company. NBC Sunday Night Football also ranked as the No. 1 show in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic for the seventh consecutive TV season. SNF’s six-year run at the top marks the only six times on record that a sports series has been the highest-rated and most-watched show of the primetime TV season

Most Consecutive Years, #1 Ranked Show in Primetime, Since 19506 years in a row – Sunday Night Football (2011-12 through 2016-17)6 years in a row – American Idol (2005-06 through 2010-11)
