The NFL's Week 18 schedule is about to fall into place, but there's still some sorting out to be done in the penultimate week of the regular season.

The No. 1 seed in the AFC will be decided on Sunday. The Broncos will be hosting the Chargers at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS and if they win that game, they'll clinch the top seed. However, if the Broncos lose, the Patriots could sneak in and steal the top seed by beating the Dolphins.

The NFL released on Dec. 28 the Week 18 TV schedule for games on Jan. 3 and 4, 2026. Tennessee's game at the Jacksonville Jaguars will kick off at noon on Jan. 4. Jacksonville can clinch the AFC South with a win.

Here’s a full rundown of the Week 18 schedule (all times Eastern): Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 4:30 p.m. Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers, 8 p.m. Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants, 1 p.m. New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons, 1 p.m. Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings, 1 p.m.

Week 18 will see the final two playoff spots decided. The AFC North champion will be crowned when the Steelers host the Ravens. In the NFC South, the Panthers can win the division with a win over the Buccaneers in Tampa, while the Buccaneers need a win on Saturday and a Falcons' loss in Week 18.
