CBS will also have the right for one alternate broadcast on Nickelodeon, so stay tuned for that.
NBC has the “Sunday Night Football” package and ESPN/ABC the “Monday Night Football” package. NBC also has the NFL Kickoff Game. ESPN/ABC’s package will also consist of three “Monday Night Football” doubleheaders, with one game airing on ABC and one on ESPN.
