Steelers-Eagles Week 11 game flexed to 1 p.m. kickoff, Digi Mart USA News: The Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 11 game against the Philadelphia Eagles has been flexed by the NFL, according to a publisher article from the Steelers organization. The game, scheduled for Sunday, November 22 at Lincoln Financial Field, has been changed from a 4:25 p.m.
kickoff to a 1 p.m. kickoff.
The game will air on CBS, with KDKA-TV carrying it in Pittsburgh. The source article was not independently verified.
The NFL introduced “flexible scheduling” in 2006, a procedure designed to promote quality matchups on Sunday nights and give surprise teams a chance to play their way onto primetime. For the 2026 season, flexible scheduling will include Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, and Thursday Night Football.
The source article states that the NFL is continuously reviewing its scheduling procedures, and further changes to flexible scheduling could be implemented in the future.
Under the current procedures, flexible scheduling may be used up to twice between Weeks 5 and 10 and in any week during Weeks 11 through 17 for Sunday Night Football. For Monday Night Football, it may be used in any week from Weeks 12 through 17.
For Thursday Night Football, it may be used up to twice between Weeks 13 and 17.
During the Flex Scheduling Windows, games initially scheduled for Sunday Night Football on NBC, Monday Night Football on ESPN or ABC, and Thursday Night Football on Prime Video are tentatively scheduled and subject to change. Only Sunday afternoon games, or those listed as TBD, are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, Monday night, or Thursday night.
In that case, the initially scheduled Sunday, Monday, or Thursday night game would be moved to Sunday afternoon.
Sunday afternoon games may also be moved between 1:00 p.m. and 4:05 p.m.
or 4:25 p.m. ET.
The source article notes that the Week 18 schedule will not be assigned in advance, as in prior seasons, and will be announced at the conclusion of Week 17.
The source article adds that games in the Flex Scheduling Windows are generally subject to change at least 12 days in advance, and at least six days in advance for Sundays in Weeks 14 through 17. Fans and ticket holders should plan accordingly.
