A column per day, so a Thursday night game and a Monday night game sit four columns apart rather than in one week-shaped box. Every team’s bye week shows as the gap it is.
A season that is short enough to read whole
An NFL team plays 17 games across 18 weeks — about a tenth of a baseball
season and a fifth of a basketball one — and yet most schedule sites
still show them one team at a time. The grid puts every
team down the left and every date across the top, so a division's whole
autumn is one glance: who has the road-heavy November, whose bye lands
before the run-in, and which two teams meet twice inside a month.
One league is covered — NFL —
32 teams in all, currently the 2026 season. Home and away are marked by
colour and by an @ before away opponents, and once a game has been
played its final score replaces the matchup. Because a team plays once a
week, most columns are mostly empty; that is the shape of the season,
and keeping a column per day is what makes a Thursday night game and a
Monday night game sit four columns apart rather than in one box marked
“week 12”.
Kick-off times in your own clock
The NFL publishes in US Eastern time. The Sunday afternoon slot is early
evening in the UK, but the Sunday and Monday night games kick off in the
small hours of Monday and Tuesday morning across Europe — a conversion most
other schedule sites leave to the reader.
Here your timezone is detected and every kick-off is converted into it,
with a manual override in the “Times in” control and a +1 mark on any
game that falls on the following day where you are. It runs the other
way too: the league now plays a handful of games each season in London,
Munich, Madrid and further afield, and those are shown in your clock as
well as the stadium's.
Every team, its own page
Each of the 32 teams above has a full schedule page: every game
with its kick-off in your timezone, the home and away split, the bye
week, the divisional games, the longest runs at home and on the road,
and the stadium. The league grid is one click away from each of them.
Frequently asked questions
Which American football leagues can I see schedules for?
1 league: NFL. The whole regular season is one grid with every team as a row and every date as a column, and each of its 32 teams has a schedule page of its own.
When is my team's bye week?
Every team page names it, and the grid shows it as the one week with no game in that team's row. An NFL season is 18 weeks long and a team plays 17 games, so each one sits out exactly one week. Where the bye falls matters: late in the year it is rest before the run-in, and in week five it means a long second half without one.
What time do NFL games start in the UK and Europe?
The NFL publishes in US Eastern time. The main Sunday afternoon slot is early evening in the UK and an hour later in central Europe, but the Sunday and Monday night games kick off in the small hours of the following morning — and this site converts every one of them into your own timezone rather than leaving you to do it. A game that lands on the next day where you are carries a +1 mark. Games played in London, Munich or Madrid run the other way: an afternoon kick-off there is a morning one in the United States.
Why are so many columns empty?
Because a team plays once a week. The season covers about four months and games fall on roughly one day in two, so most cells in any given column are blank. Every column is still a date, the same as on the hockey, basketball and football grids: it means a team's row reads left to right in true date order, and a Thursday night game sits four columns from the Monday night one rather than in the same week-shaped box.
Does the grid include the playoffs?
No — the grid is the regular season. The playoff bracket is decided round by round as games finish, so a grid of it would be mostly empty columns that change shape every week. The regular season is the part that exists in full from the day it is published.
How current are these schedules?
They are refetched every night and the pages are rebuilt when something has actually changed — a game moved, a final score. During the season the previous day's results are in the grid by morning.
