NBC’s Sunday Night Football will be in Minnesota in Week Nine.
The NFL announced today that the Colts-Vikings game on Sunday, November 3, which had previously been scheduled as a 1 p.m. ET kickoff, has been moved to the Sunday night slot.
The Jaguars-Eagles game that had been scheduled for Sunday night in Week Nine will move into the 4:05 p.m. kickoff window.
The NFL uses flexible scheduling to put the best games in the time slots when the most fans will be able to watch them. The 4-3 Colts and 5-1 Vikings would both be in the playoffs based on the current standings, so it’s a natural game to move to prime time.
The Colts-Vikings game will kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
