NFL Divisional Round Weekend 2025: schedule, channels, live streams

After the NFL’s Wild Card Round, eight teams remain in the quest for the Super Bowl. The biggest surprise of Wild Card Weekend came when the Commanders defeated the Buccaneers on a last-second field goal for the upset. With the Commanders’ win, Jayden Daniels joined Russell Wilson, Mark Sanchez, and Joe Flacco as the only rookie quarterbacks to win road playoff games.

Four games will be played during the Divisional Round. The schedule consists of two games on Saturday and two games on Sunday. All eyes will be on Sunday night’s game between the Ravens and Bills. That showdown in Buffalo has a chance to be the best game of the postseason. Below, check out the 2025 Divisional Round Weekend schedule, with times, channels, and streaming information.

The Houston Texans defense dominated in their 31-12 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. The Texans intercepted Los Angeles’ Justin Herbert four times to go along with four sacks. The Texans’ defense will have to be on their A-game to beat Patrick Mahomes.

Can the Kansas City Chiefs pull off the three-peat? It’s never been done in the Super Bowl era, but the Chiefs have a great chance to pull it off. As long as Mahomes is under center, Kansas City should never be counted out.

We’re running out of adjectives to describe Daniels. The rookie threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns and drove the Washington Commanders down the field for the game-winning field goal. Can the Commanders keep their magical season alive with another upset victory?

It’s now or never for the Detroit Lions, who are in the playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Detroit has never made the Super Bowl. They will never have a better chance to do it than now.

The Los Angeles Rams sacked Sam Darnold nine times in their 27-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The Rams are a battle-tested team that no one wants to play because of quarterback Matthew Stafford and coach Sean McVay.

The Philadelphia Eagles‘ defense flexed their muscles in their 22-10 win over the Green Bay Packers. Saquon Barkley continued his magical season with 119 yards rushing.

Grab your popcorn. The matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills should be the game of the weekend. In one corner sits Lamar Jackson, the dynamic Ravens’ quarterback looking to advance to his second consecutive AFC Championship. In the other corner sits John Allen, the exciting Bills quarterback who could win his first MVP.
