The NFL<\/a> is pulling out all the stops to ensure the 2026 season has the best Thanksgiving slate ever.<\/p>\n

The NFL’s schedule for Thanksgiving will consist of the following three matchups:<\/p>\n

While there’ll be plenty of hype surrounding the Bears-Lions and Eagles-Cowboys games, we expect the Bills and Chiefs to generate the most buzz. After all, Josh Allen<\/a> and Patrick Mahomes<\/a> never disappoint when they square off.<\/p>\n

“Say goodbye to your family before Thanksgiving,” Warren Sharp said. “The most deadly serious Thanksgiving slate I\u2019ve ever seen this is ridiculous.”<\/p>\n

Wake me up when it’s Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

Judging by the reactions online, NFL fans can’t wait for the 2026 season to begin.<\/p>\n

“Someone write my family and tell them I love them cause I will not be leaving the couch,” one fan commented.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not even exaggerating, but this can be the best 48 hours of football in the history of the sport,” another fan wrote.<\/p>\n

“This actually might be the greatest Thanksgiving slate in the history of the sport,” an Eagles fan declared.<\/p>\n

“Man this is a great slate of games. My Raiders<\/a> can\u2019t ruin my turkey day this is a DUB,” a Raiders fan added.<\/p>\n
