NFL Playoffs 2025: Divisional round schedule, TV, streaming, and more
The schedule for the Divisional Round of the 2025 NFL Playoffs has been released
The schedule for the Divisional Round games of the 2025 NFL Playoffs is set.
While we will not know the participants in one of those games until tomorrow night — when the Minnesota Vikings take on the Los Angeles Rams in a game moved to Glendale, Arizona due to the ongoing wildfires in California — we know when each game will take place next weekend, and what network will be broadcasting each game.
Here is the schedule for the upcoming Divisional Round.
What Divisional Round games are Saturday, January 18?
The Divisional Round kicks off Saturday with a pair of games.
Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs
Saturday, 4:30 p.m. Eastern, ESPN
The Kansas City Chiefs, fresh off their bye week, begin their quest to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls when they host the Houston Texans. Houston advanced to the Divisional Round for the second-straight season when they knocked off the Los Angeles Chargers by a final score of 32-12.
These two teams met back in Week 16, with the Chiefs winning 27-19.
Washington Commanders at Detroit Lions
Saturday, 8:00 p.m. Eastern, FOX
While every team in the NFL is banged up by this point in the season, the Detroit Lions perhaps needed the bye week more than most. With injuries impacting both sides of the ball, Detroit now hopes to get players like David Montgomery and even Aidan Hutchinson back for a playoff run, although Hutchinson is still a long shot to return.
They’ll welcome the upstart Washington Commanders. Washington advanced to the Divisional Round with a 23-20 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday night, the first playoff win for the franchise since the 2005 NFL season.
What Divisional Round games are Sunday, January 19?
Arguably the best weekend of each NFL season concludes with two more games on Sunday.
Minnesota Vikings/Los Angeles Rams winner at Philadelphia Eagles
Sunday, 3:00 p.m. Eastern, NBC
The Philadelphia Eagles outlasted the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon, advancing to the Divisional Round with a 22-10 victory. Philadelphia’s defense led the way, intercepting Jordan Love three times on the afternoon.
They’ll welcome the winner of the final game of Wild Card Weekend between the Los Angeles Rams and the Minnesota Vikings.
Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills
Sunday, 6:30 p.m. Eastern, CBS
The Baltimore Ravens and the Buffalo Bills square off on Sunday, in a highly-anticipated rematch of their Week 5 game. Baltimore won that contest going away, by a final score of 35-10. Baltimore advanced to the Divisional Round with a 28-14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, while Buffalo knocked off the Denver Broncos 31-7.
The game will also feature the two favorites for MVP: Quarterbacks Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.
