The NFL has reshuffled its Week 11 Sunday afternoon schedule, flexing Jaguars at Giants up into CBS’s late national window and sliding Steelers at Eagles down to the early regional window. Both games are still on CBS and both still kick off on Sunday, November 22, but the national spotlight has swapped from one to the other. Here is exactly what changed, why the league did it, and what it means for where you will find each game.
What changed in the Week 11 flex
This is a window swap inside CBS’s Sunday coverage. The Jaguars at Giants game moves from the noon-hour regional slot up into the 4:25 p.m. ET national late window, which is the one shown in most of the country. In the other direction, Steelers at Eagles drops out of that marquee national window and into the 1:00 p.m. ET regional window. Nothing else about the matchups changed: same day, same network, same stadiums.
| Game (Sun, Nov 22) | Was | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Jaguars at Giants | 1:00 p.m. ET, CBS (regional) | 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS (national) |
| Steelers at Eagles | 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS (national) | 1:00 p.m. ET, CBS (regional) |
Why the NFL made the move
The standings tell the story. Jacksonville comes in at 6-2 and the Giants sit at 5-2-1, so both teams are squarely in the playoff race and their head-to-head carries real stakes in mid-November. Steelers at Eagles looked like the better matchup when the schedule was set, but Philadelphia has collapsed to 2-7 and has lost seven games in a row, which drains a lot of the national appeal even with Pittsburgh at 6-2. Faced with that, CBS and the league pushed the game with more on the line into the window the most people can see.
What it means for viewers
If you are outside the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia markets, you are now far more likely to get Jaguars at Giants as your late-afternoon game, since it holds the national window. Steelers at Eagles becomes a 1:00 p.m. ET regional broadcast, so whether it reaches your TV depends on your local CBS affiliate. The simplest way to be sure is to check your team’s schedule page for the updated kickoff time, or use a TV map on game day.
The rest of the Week 11 primetime slate
The marquee windows around this swap did not change. Thursday Night Football has Colts at Texans on Prime Video on November 19. Sunday Night Football is Vikings at 49ers from Mexico City on NBC. Monday Night Football closes the week with Bengals at Commanders on ESPN on November 23. The flex was limited to the CBS afternoon windows.
How NFL flex scheduling works
Flex scheduling lets the NFL move Sunday games between windows so the most compelling matchups land in the biggest slots. Most people know it from Sunday Night Football, but the league can also cross-flex Sunday afternoon games between the early 1:00 p.m. ET and late 4:25 p.m. ET windows, and between CBS and FOX, which is what happened here. These afternoon moves are typically announced about 12 days ahead of the game, so a hot team can be rewarded and a struggling one can be moved off the national stage late in the season.
