Who is playing Thursday Night Football tonight, Jan. 5?

It seems like only yesterday the 2022 NFL season began and, yet, we’ve somehow managed to reach the final week of the regular season.

After what has been another incredible season, Week 18 has arrived which means we’re one step closer to the postseason and to crowning a new Super Bowl Champion. For many teams, the season has already come to an end with their playoff dreams ending in recent weeks. However, for a small handful of teams, Week 18 could be the difference between their season ending and heading into the postseason.

Fans are in store for some great matchups this week, with a slew of division rivals facing off in this final week of the season. It’ll be an exciting week of football, but what exactly does tonight hold for NFL fans?

Who plays Thursday Night Football tonight, January 5?

The answer to who is playing football this evening is simple: no one. While there is typically always a Thursday Night Football game each week, the final games of the 2022 season will play out over the weekend. As such, there will be no Thursday night game this evening, meaning no teams will be coming together on the field to face off tonight.

While disappointing, the good news is fans can still enjoy multiple days of football this week as the NFL will be airing two special Saturday games in Week 18. This Saturday, the Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the Las Vegas Raiders at 4:30 p.m. ET and the Tennessee Titans will go head-to-head with the Jacksonville Jaguars in primetime at 8:15 p.m. ET.
