The NFL announced in October that Prime Video will exclusively stream a Black Friday game beginning this year. The newly scheduled matchup will kick off Nov. 24, with an anticipated 3 p.m. ET start time.
The Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, and New England Patriots will each play home international games this season.
Kansas City and New England are expected to host matchups in Germany, while Buffalo, Tennessee, and Jacksonville will play in London. The Bills and Titans are the designated home teams for two games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while the Jaguars will host a game at Wembley Stadium.
This season's schedule will feature an all-time high 14 playoff rematches from the 2022 campaign, including a matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, who squared off in Super Bowl LVII in February.
All eyes will also be on the New York Jets, who traded for Aaron Rodgers this offseason and are expected to be on prime time often in 2023. New York entered the 2022 campaign with only one prime-time contest on its schedule.
