NFL TV Schedule and broadcast map for Week 1, 2018

Taking a look at the TV schedule and broadcast map for NFL Week 1 of the 2018 season to help with what game you can watch in your area.

You may have thought that it would never arrive, but the first week of the 2018 NFL season has finally come. Everyone has truly been waiting for NFL Week 1 since the conclusion of the Philadelphia Eagles thrilling victory in the Super Bowl — or at least since the draft back in April. At long last though, we don’t have to wait anymore.

There will be plenty of games that are worth keeping an eye on in Week 1 of the 2018 season. Seeing the San Francisco 49ers try to claim their breakout status against possible contenders in the Minnesota Vikings will be great to watch. Meanwhile, who doesn’t want to see Khalil Mack and the Chicago Bears head to Lambeau Field on Sunday Night Football?

This is going to be a fun week of action from the quality of games to just simply having football back in our lives. With that, let’s take a look at the TV schedule for Sunday to see when you can catch the games that you want to watch.
