Ah, the Thursday Night Football special. These games start at 5:15 PM Pacific—unless Amazon says otherwise. Yes, the games are now on a streaming platform that also sells you toilet paper. Welcome to the future, where you can watch George Kittle catch a touchdown and buy a new vacuum cleaner in the same app.
Surprising fact #2: The 49ers actually hosted the first ever Thanksgiving Day game in 1925. They lost 17-7 to the Chicago Bears, but they served turkey anyway. I’m pretty sure that’s a true story, but don’t quote me—I might be confusing it with a dream I had after eating too much stuffing.
What about Monday or Saturday games?
Monday Night Football usually kicks off at 5:15 PM or 6:15 PM Pacific. But recently, the NFL started adding Saturday games in December. Those start at 1:00 PM or 4:30 PM Pacific. The league basically sits in a room, throws darts at a calendar, and says, “Let’s ruin a weekend!”
