JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — November 11, 2026 — Jacksonville Jaguars fans should update their calendars. The NFL has officially changed the kickoff time for the team’s upcoming game against the New York Giants, moving the highly anticipated matchup into a more prominent television window.
The game, scheduled for Sunday, November 22, 2026, will now begin at 4:25 p.m. Eastern Time, instead of the originally scheduled 1:00 p.m. kickoff.
The matchup will take place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and will still be broadcast on CBS.
Why Did the NFL Change the Schedule?
The NFL announced the change on Monday, November 9, as part of its flexible scheduling process, which allows the league to adjust game times to feature compelling matchups in more prominent television windows.
The Jaguars have attracted increased attention following their strong start to the 2026 season.
At the time of the announcement, Jacksonville held a 6–2 record and led the AFC South, while the Giants were 5–2–1 and leading the NFC East.
The matchup between two division leaders gives both teams an opportunity to showcase their performances before a potentially larger television audience.
Jaguars Take a More Prominent TV Slot
The schedule adjustment also affects another major NFL matchup.
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ game against the Philadelphia Eagles, originally scheduled for 4:25 p.m. on November 22, has been moved to 1:00 p.m.
Both games will remain on CBS.
For Jacksonville, the change represents an opportunity to receive more national attention during an important stretch of the regular season.
According to sports media reporting, this will be the Jaguars’ first appearance in a featured 4:25 p.m. network television window since October 2018.
A Big Opportunity for Jacksonville
The Jaguars’ strong performance has made them one of the teams attracting attention in the AFC.
Jacksonville improved to 6–2 with a 33–10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on November 5, strengthening its position in the AFC South.
