The 2025 NFL season is entering its final act. Fans are gearing up for a consequential Week 18, as the league's final two playoff berths and four remaining division titles will be decided over the final 16 games.

Is there Thursday Night Football tomorrow?
No, there is not a "Thursday Night Football" game in Week 18. The first NFL game of the season's final week will be Saturday, Jan. 3 at 4:30 p.m. ET, when the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers square off in a game that could determine the winner of the NFC South.
Amazon wrapped up its "Thursday Night Football" slate for the 2025 NFL season on Christmas, when the Denver Broncos earned a 20-13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

While "Thursday Night Football" is over for the season, its crew still has one game remaining on its slate. Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreit and Kaylee Hartung will be on the call for one of the NFL's wild-card weekend games, which will be broadcast nationally on Prime Video.
