The NFL’s two flagship prime-time nights don’t live on one channel between them. They live on eight.

One page, both nights, every game tagged with exactly where it airs. Print it, pin it to the fridge, and fill in the scores as the season goes.
Thursday night, five homes. Prime Video carries the core slate: Weeks 2 through 17, 8:15 PM ET, called by Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit. But three Thursdays aren’t on Prime at all: the Wednesday season kickoff (Patriots at Seahawks) airs on NBC/Peacock, the international opener from Melbourne (49ers at Rams) is Netflix-only, and Thanksgiving splits into a three-network triple-header: Bears-Lions on CBS, Eagles-Cowboys on Fox, Chiefs-Bills on NBC.
Monday night, one channel, four ways to watch. ESPN carries all 17 games, which sounds simpler, until you factor in that nine of them simulcast on ABC, and around a dozen add a second, alternate broadcast: the “ManningCast” on ESPN2, with Peyton and Eli Manning. Streaming live on the ESPN app covers every game either way.
Same league, same two nights every week, and still no single answer to “where do I watch it.” That’s the exact problem Ronin’s broadcast-discovery data is built to solve, at the scale of an entire season instead of one printed page.
