Sunday Night Football: Schedule + How to Watch With DISH
If the weekly NFL broadcast schedule was a meal, Thursday Night Football would be breakfast (nourishment to keep your energy up), NFL RedZone would be side dishes (smaller portions, but guaranteed you’ll find something both surprising and delicious), and Monday Night Football would be desert (no explanation needed). That makes Sunday Night Football the main course, and while it might not always be your favorite part of the meal, it is typically the most interesting, well-prepared recipe.
Food metaphors aside, Sunday Night Football on NBC is immensely popular. In fact, it is the most-popular primetime TV show in America, and has been for an unprecedented 13 years running. That leads us to the big question: How do I watch Sunday Night Football with DISH and what games are scheduled for the 2024 season? Glad you asked, that’s what we’re here for. Not a DISH subscriber?

How to Watch Sunday Night Football With DISH
Sunday Night Football airs Sunday nights at 8:20pm ET on NBC (check your guide for channel number and availability). Typically, the SNF crew will broadcast a handful of Thursday and/ or Saturday games as well, plus the traditional NFL Kickoff game, which features the defending Super Bowl champ playing on Thursday night to open up the season. This year, that game is a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship, as the Baltimore Ravens visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday, Sept. 5.
Sunday Night Football is typically preceded by the studio show Football Night in America, which begins at 7:00pm ET. Football Night in America features highlights and analysis of the Sunday afternoon games, plus news and features.
Who are the announcers?
For the third year in a row, the announcers for Sunday Night Football will be Mike Tirico, Cris Collinsworth, and Melissa Stark. Recently retired Patriots quarterback Devin McCourty will be joining the crew of Football Night in America, where he’ll be featured alongside Tony Dungy, Chris Simms, Jason Garrett, insider Mike Florio, and host Maria Taylor.
