Before you plan the whole weekend

Use the NFL's official schedule for the current broadcaster and any changes. For a local afternoon game, confirm your provider's listing rather than assuming that every game in a time window will be available in your area.

Save the start time for your own time zone. If you are planning a gathering, leave a little setup time for streaming sign-ins, sound and captions, especially for the early Sunday game.
