🏈 What is Thursday Night Football?

Thursday Night Football offers fans a much-needed midweek dose of football action. The concept kicked off in November 2006 when the league introduced a series of Thursday night games as part of the NFL Network's broadcast schedule. This move was designed to expand the league's reach and provide fans with more opportunities to watch their favorite teams. These games were only available on the NFL Network at first, but the demand for Thursday night games led to broader television coverage.

Over the years, Thursday Night Football has evolved significantly. In 2014, the NFL reached a landmark agreement with CBS, which allowed for a wider broadcast of these games on network television. This expansion brought Thursday night games into the homes of millions more viewers. Today, Thursday Night Football continues to be a key part of the NFL's programming, often featuring compelling matchups and delivering an unsurpassed mix of drama and excitement.
