NFL moves Jaguars-Giants game in Week 11 to a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff

The NFL announced two Week 11 kickoff changes for the 2026 season, NBC Sports reported. The Jaguars and Giants were originally scheduled to start their game at MetLife Stadium at 1 p.m. ET on November 22, but the game will now get underway at 4:25 p.m. ET. The Steelers’ visit to Philadelphia to face the Eagles was set for that time and it will now take over the 1 p.m. slot.

Steelers.com confirmed the Steelers-Eagles game had been flexed by the NFL. The game will be played on Sunday, November 22 at Lincoln Financial Field and has been changed from a 4:25 p.m. kickoff to a 1 p.m. kickoff.

Both games will still be broadcast by CBS, NBC Sports reported, and the Jaguars-Giants contest is now set to be the network’s national game during that window. NBC Sports noted both teams are leading their divisions while the Eagles, who have a bye in Week 10, will carry a seven-game losing streak into their matchup with the Steelers.

A Raiders-Broncos game in Denver will also start at 4:25 p.m. ET, NBC Sports reported, and the Jets-Chargers game in Los Angeles will be the lone 4:05 p.m. ET start that weekend.

Steelers.com provided background on flexible scheduling, noting the NFL implemented “flexible scheduling” in 2006, a procedure designed to promote quality matchups on Sunday nights and give surprise teams a chance to play their way onto primetime. For the 2026 season, flexible scheduling will include Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, and Thursday Night Football.

The current state is that the Jaguars-Giants game kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET on November 22 at MetLife Stadium, while the Steelers-Eagles game kicks off at 1 p.m. ET that same day at Lincoln Financial Field.
