What NFL games are on today? Channels, TV schedule for Week 18 games on Saturday

Most of the NFL’s Week 18 action will occur on Sunday, as there is no “Thursday Night Football” or “Monday Night Football” in the season’s final week.

However, the Week 18 slate still includes a few stand-alone games, two of which will take place on Saturday.

The NFL is allowing ABC/ESPN – which owns the rights to “Monday Night Football” – to broadcast a doubleheader to kickstart the final week of the regular season. A couple of AFC North matchups will highlight the day; the Baltimore Ravens will look to clinch the division title against the Cleveland Browns in the first game while the Cincinnati Bengals hope to stay alive in the AFC playoff race against the Pittsburgh Steelers during the nightcap.

Here’s what to know about today’s Saturday NFL action, including how to watch it and some key storylines to monitor.

Storylines for today’s NFL games

• The Ravens are a game ahead of the Steelers in the race for the AFC North title and can officially clinch it and the AFC’s No. 3 seed with a win or a tie. Baltimore won the division last season and can win back-to-back titles for the first time since it did so from 2018-19.
• The Browns are currently one of four NFL teams with a record of 3-13. A loss would briefly give them control of the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft. They have scored just nine total points across Dorian Thompson-Robinson‘s first two starts of the season, so they appear well on their way to clinching a top-four pick in the class.
• The Bengals need to beat the Steelers to stay alive in the NFL playoff race. Cincinnati needs to win, have the Denver Broncos lose to the Kansas City Chiefs and see the Miami Dolphins either lose or tie against the New York Jets to make it into the postseason. The Bengals’ path isn’t clear, but Joe Burrow and Co. will at least look to check off one of their goals on Saturday night.
• The Steelers enter Week 18 on a three-game losing streak and may not have a chance to win the AFC North title if the Ravens beat the Browns, as expected. If that’s the case, they’ll be playing for the right to be the AFC’s No. 5 seed, which would give them a matchup with the Houston Texans. A loss could force the Steelers into a difficult wild-card matchup with the Ravens, so don’t be surprised to see Pittsburgh bring its A-game to this divisional matchup.
