There has been an NFL game every Thursday night since Week 1. But is there a "Thursday Night Football" game tonight?

Every year, the NFL waits as long as possible before releasing the Week 18 schedule and that announcement finally came on Sunday night.

While a majority of playoff spots—and seeds—have already been clinched, there are still a handful of division championships up for grabs heading into the final slate. Because of that, the league naturally waits to schedule Week 18’s matchup until the last possible second in order to, among other things, maximize its television audience.

Don't miss the Bears vs 49ers game tonight on NBC and Peacock. Live coverage begins with Football Night In America at 7 PM ET.

Week 18 action kicks off with a Saturday doubleheader, however, which features the Carolina Panthers at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 4:30 p.m. ET on ESPN/ABC, and the Seattle Seahawks at the San Francisco 49ers at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN/ABC.

Thursday afternoon, as is tradition on New Year’s Day, three high-profile bowl games are on the schedule. Of course, they’re all part of the College Football Playoff under the 12-team format, serving as quarterfinal games in the bracket.

Is there a 'Thursday Night Football' game tomorrow? Here's what to know about the NFL Week 18 and playoff schedules.

The NFL Week 18 schedule has been released and three massive games will fill standalone slots, headlined by an AFC North title game to end the regular season.
