Postseason tv schedule? (1 Viewer)

Is it predetermined what network gets early/late game for each round of playoffs? If so is that schedule published anywhere?

NBC gets the two Saturday games.

Pretty sure they get the 3 v. 6 games, as those were the games added when the playoffs expanded. If that is the case, expect Cincy v. Houston at 4:30, Minn at GB at 8.

NBC had the NFC 4-5 game in 2010. NBC had the AFC 4-5 game in 2009. I did not look at previous years. I had thought CBS and FOX get to choose which game they want and NBC gets the other two games. Or maybe it is the other way around. Or maybe beginning with 2011 the NFL made the decision to start putting 3-6 games on Saturdays. I don't know anymore.

I'd guess fox gets to pick which wild card game they want since they lost this dal-wash game to NBC.

2011 - NFC 4-5 game

Unsure how the games are decided kinda want to know.

No inside info or knowledge of how they are picked, but here's my guess:

NBC afternoon - Seahawks @ Redskins/Cowboys

NBC night - Colts @ Ravens

CBS early afternoon - Bengals @ Texans

FOX late afternoon - Vikings @ Packers

2011 - NFC 4-5 game

Nope. Last year NBC had both 3-6 games (Bengals-Texans in evening and Lions-Saints at night). The 4-5 games were on the Sunday (Falcons-Giants and Steelers-Broncos).

I listened to Simmon's roadcast last year (or the year before) that talked about how they selected which game is shown when. I think NBC gets their pick of a game for Saturday night, and then they are stuck with the worst one in the afternoon. Obviously they would get a NFC game if they picked a AFC game (and vice versa).

Yep. And I'm pretty sure Fox and CBS alternate who gets the early and who gets the late, so this year it is Indy-Bal and then Sea-Was/Dal.
