The NFL Network will broadcast 10 games of Thursday Night Football, which includes some late-season games on Saturday and additional games to be determined. The NFL Network also will simulcast the 10 Thursday games produced by CBS and NBC.
CBS and the NFL Network will broadcast the first half of the schedule, while NBC and the NFL Network will televise the second half.
“The CBS Corporation and the CBS Television Network are extremely pleased to continue our successful partnership with the NFL on Thursday nights,” CBS Corp. President and CEO Leslie Moonves said in a statement. “Thursday Night Football has provided extremely valuable programming and a powerful promotional platform to help launch CBS’s primetime schedule, contributing to our standing as the perennial Number One and most-watched network. Broadcasting the first half of the Thursday Night Football schedule is a terrific way to jump start the 2016-17 television season. We look forward to another great year of the NFL on CBS on both Thursdays and Sundays.”
