The schedule for the NFL Divisional Round during these 2026 playoffs has (almost) been set.

With the respective top seeds, the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks, enjoying their first-round byes, and with both No. 2 seeds, the Chicago Bears and New England Patriots, winning their respective wild-card playoff games, we know all four games in the NFL's quarterfinals will take place in Denver, Seattle, Chicago, and Boston.

We also obviously have all four matchups set in stone. The Broncos will square off against the Buffalo Bills. The Seahawks will face the San Francisco 49ers. The Chicago Bears will duke it out with the Los Angeles Rams. And the New England Patriots will be pitted against either the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Houston Texans.

While we still don't know the official times for each game, or which specific networks will air each game, we do, at least, know what day all four games will take place on. If you're trying to plan your personal schedule around the action to come, here is the tentative, early schedule for the 2026 NFL Divisional Round, per NFL Media's Tom Pelissero. (All times in Eastern.)

Saturday, January 17th​

  • (6) Buffalo Bills at (1) Denver Broncos: 4:30 p.m. or 8:00 p.m. ET (Network To Be Announced)
  • (6) San Francisco 49ers at (1) Seattle Seahawks: 4:30 p.m. or 8:00 p.m. ET (Network TBA)
