STAMFORD, Conn. – May 14, 2025 – NBC Sunday Night Football, America's No. 1 primetime television show for an unprecedented 14 consecutive years, celebrates its 20th season showcasing high-profile matchups featuring the NFL's biggest stars and best rivalries from NFL Kickoff in September to sports' biggest spectacle – Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8, 2026, on NBC, Peacock, and Telemundo.
NBC's SNF begins its milestone 20th season with a blockbuster Kickoff Weekend. First, it's a renewal of the most-played regular-season SNF matchup as Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys visit Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts, NFL rushing leader Saquon Barkley and the Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles in NFL Kickoff '25 on Thursday, Sept. 4 on NBC, Peacock, and Telemundo. The opener marks the record 17th matchup between the clubs in NBC's SNF package and the first time Dallas and Philadelphia will meet in Week 1 since 2000.
Three nights later (Sept. 7), NBC Sports' SNF opener features the past two NFL MVPs as Lamar Jackson ('23 MVP) and the AFC North champion Baltimore Ravens visit Josh Allen ('24 MVP) and the AFC East champion Buffalo Bills in a rematch of last season's AFC Divisional Playoff – a two-point Buffalo victory. The game is the first in Buffalo's 53rd and final season at Highmark Stadium, which will make way for a new Bills' home in 2026.
The NBC Sunday Night Football schedule features eight matchups of 2024 playoff teams – including five meetings of division winners – highlighted by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, who have played in five of the last six Super Bowls, hosting Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions on October 12. With the Chiefs and Lions posting the respective best records in the AFC and NFC last season, this game marks the second-ever NBC SNF matchup of the prior season's top playoff seeds (NFL Kickoff '16 – Carolina-Denver in a Super Bowl rematch). The last Lions-Chiefs matchup was a thriller – a 21-20 Detroit victory in NFL Kickoff '23 on NBC and Peacock.
Peacock will once again stream all NBC Sunday Night Football games, including the playoffs, and the Football Night in America studio show. The exclusive Peacock Sunday Night Football Final returns with expanded postgame coverage following SNF each week.

Bucs' Mike Evans does not rule out retirement in interview with Kay Adams
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has spent over a decade carving out a Hall of Fame résumé, 11 straight 1,000-yard seasons, a Super Bowl title, and an unmatched consistency that's made him one of the most respected receivers of his generation. But as he enters his 12th NFL season, Evans made headlines with a revealing comment about his future. In a recent interview on Up & Adams with Kay Adams, the 31-year-old admitted that retirement is a possibility once the 2025 season ends. 'Retirement at the end of this season isn't off the table and playing for 2‑5 more years isn't off the table either,' Evans told Adams. 'I know I'm not playing five more years… but it's easy for me to say I could play another two or three.' While Evans stopped short of making any firm declarations, the tone of his comments hinted at a player who is beginning to weigh the future seriously. He also revealed that he doesn't see himself playing much longer beyond the next few seasons. Evans enters the 2025 season tied with Jerry Rice for the most consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons in NFL history (11). That kind of historic company puts his career firmly in Hall of Fame territory and adds a bit more intrigue to what his final seasons might be. Yet, through it all, Evans has remained loyal to Tampa Bay, the franchise that drafted him seventh overall in 2014. 'I'm a Buc for life, no matter what,' he said during the interview. Evans' current contract expires after this season. Whether he decides to retire, return on a short-term deal, or test free agency again will be one of the Buccaneers' biggest offseason storylines. Evans also mentioned an interest in participating in flag football during the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles a hint that his NFL career could wrap up before then. 'Most likely I'll be retired by 2028,' Evans said, while expressing excitement about potentially representing Team USA on the Olympic stage. The NFL legend's comments suggest a growing openness to life after football, though not necessarily an imminent exit. Still, the Bucs and their fans may want to start preparing for the eventual reality of football without their most iconic receiver. If 2025 does turn out to be Evans' swan song, he'll leave the Buccaneers with one of the most decorated and loyal careers in franchise history. From his record-breaking consistency to his pivotal role in the team's 2020 Super Bowl run, Evans has been the face of the organization through multiple eras. For now, though, he's focused on the task at hand: helping Tampa Bay compete in what could be a final chapter of a legendary career. Whether 2025 is the end or just the next step, Mike Evans has made one thing clear: he'll be walking away on his own terms, and always as a Buccaneer.

MGK Reveals What Taylor Swift Said to Him While Watching the Chiefs Lose the 2025 Super Bowl
The Kansas City Chiefs' disappointing loss at the 2025 Super Bowl is one that fans of the team — including Taylor Swift and MGK — will remember all too well. Both musicians were present at the big game against the Philadelphia Eagles in February, with the pop star there to support boyfriend Travis Kelce and the former rapper on site to cheer on Kansas City before performing at the team's afterparty later that night. But while hopes that the Chiefs could snag a 'three-peat' Super Bowl win were high at the beginning of the game, they quickly faltered as the Eagles kept scoring to win 40-22 — something MGK reflected on talking to Swift about that day in an interview with ABC News on Wednesday (Aug. 6). More from Billboard If Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Get Married, Andy Reid Has a 'Lot of Great Stories' to Tell at Their Wedding MGK Searches for 'Lost Americana' on New Album Cosigned by Bob Dylan: Stream It Now MGK Says His Haters Are Just 'Conformists' Who Pretend to Dislike Him to 'Fit In' 'I was in Travis' suite, and at the beginning of it, Taylor was like, 'Hell yeah, we're gonna come watch you perform, it's gonna be crazy tonight,'' the musician began. 'Internally, I was stoked. I was like, 'Oh what a legendary night this is gonna be.'' 'By the third quarter, dude, I was looking at that score,' he continued, laughing at the memory. 'I went up to Taylor, I was like, 'Y'all aren't coming tonight, huh?' She was like, 'I don't think so, man. I'll see if I can get [Travis] to get out, but I don't think [so].'' MGK still had to perform at the losing team's post-game party in New Orleans that night — a gig he does not recommend to other artists. 'Don't ever sign yourself up for that,' he said before joking, 'Wait to sign the paper 'til third quarter or something, 'til it looks like it's going one way or the other.' But while the afterparty was a little bit grim, MGK will always support Kelce — a fellow Ohioan — and the rest of the Chiefs. 'That's my dawg,' the artist added of the athlete. 'He's from Cleveland. He's from right next to where I'm from.' Shortly after the interview, MGK went on to release his new album, Lost Americana, on Friday (Aug. 8). With none other than Bob Dylan in his corner during the rollout, his rootsy new project marks a shift away from the hip-hop and pop-punk genres he previously experimented with. As for the Chiefs, Kelce and his teammates have been hard at work training for the upcoming season, which kicks off in early September. And after becoming a mainstay at Arrowhead Stadium throughout the past two NFL seasons after beginning her romance with the tight end in 2023, Swift is expected to appear at even more games this year now that she's finished her global Eras Tour.
