Saturday double-header sees Steelers visit Ravens from 9.30pm, followed by Texans at Colts in ‘win-and-in’ clash; Sunday triple-bill starts at 6pm with Jaguars at Titans, followed by Bears at Packers and Bills at Dolphins showdown for AFC East title – all games live on Sky Sports NFL

CJ Stroud’s Houston Texans, Trevor Lawrence’s Jacksonville Jaguars and TJ Watt and the Pittsburgh Steelers are all battling for a playoff spot
The 2023 NFL regular season concludes, live on Sky Sports, with a double-header on Saturday night and the usual Sunday triple-bill – with playoff places up for grabs across the board.
Arguably, the highlight of the weekend wraps up the season, with the AFC East title on the line as the Miami Dolphins (11-5) host the Buffalo Bills (10-6) on Sunday Night Football – live on Sky Sports NFL from 1.20am, Monday morning.
Though a defeat would see them lose their grip on the division, the Dolphins are at least assured of their playoff spot regardless of the result.
The same can’t be said of the Bills, however. They need one of the Pittsburgh Steelers or Jacksonville Jaguars to lose to avoid the prospect of elimination from the postseason field with a loss to Miami.
Week 18 live on Sky
| Date | Game | Kick-off time |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday, January 6 | Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens | 9.30pm |
| Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts | 1.15am (Sunday morning) | |
| Sunday, January 7 | Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tennessee Titans | 6pm |
| Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers | 9.25pm | |
| Buffalo Bills @ Miami Dolphins | 1.20am (Monday morning) |
Speaking of the Steelers (9-7), they kick off the Saturday night action – live on Sky Sports NFL from 9pm – with a must-win match at AFC No 1 seeds Baltimore Ravens (13-3). Pittsburgh simply must win to stand a chance of sneaking into the playoffs, and even then results elsewhere may go against them.
The late night Saturday game – kick-off at 1.15am, Sunday morning – sees the Indianapolis Colts (9-7) host the Houston Texans (9-7) in a ‘win-and-in’ AFC South showdown. The winner could also end up claiming the division, provided the Jaguars lose, while a tie would see the Colts edge out the Texans based on tie-breakers, barring a Steelers win which would see both sides miss out.

A look at some of the best celebrations from the 2023 NFL season so far
The Jaguars (9-7) open the Sunday triple-header – live on Sky Sports NFL from 5pm, with kick-off 6pm – as they visit the Tennessee Titans (5-11), where they’ll wrap up the division with a win but will put their playoff place in danger with a defeat.
Following that, we head to the NFC to see if the Green Bay Packers (8-8) can clinch the final wild card berth in the conference with a victory at home over the Chicago Bears (7-9). Defeat would instead open the door for one of the Seattle Seahawks, New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons or Minnesota Vikings to steal that spot.
Bills at Dolphins then rounds off the Sunday evening festivities. But, remember, you can also follow along with all of Sunday’s other games via NFL Redzone, live on Sky Sports Mix from 6pm, as the jostling for playoff positioning reaches its dramatic conclusion.
