Football Night In America Begins Sunday on NBC

Per the NFL's announcement earlier today, the AFC Divisional playoff game featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., will now be played this Sunday, January 15, at 8:20 p.m. ET, on NBC. The game, which was originally-scheduled for January 15 at 1:05 p.m. ET, was moved due to public safety concerns in light of a forecasted storm for the Kansas City area this weekend.

Coverage of Steelers-Chiefs will now begin Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC with Football Night In America.

With Steelers-Chiefs moving to Sunday night, NBC's broadcast schedule on Sunday will begin at noon ET with a live, in-progress simulcast of NBCSN's presentation of the Manchester United v. Liverpool Premier League match. Coverage continues at 1 p.m. ET with an NHL Metropolitan Division clash between the Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals, followed by an episode of NFL TURNING POINT at 3:30 p.m. ET.
