Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions
The day begins with the Detroit Lions hosting the Chicago Bears at Ford Field, Detroit at 12:30 p.m. ET. This tradition, started by the Lions in 1934, remains a staple of Thanksgiving football today. CBS will broadcast the game with live streaming options on Fubo, Paramount+ and NFL+ (Chicago area).

Detroit (10-1) enters the game with a chance to extend its winning streak to 10 games while breaking a seven-game Thanksgiving losing streak. With a win, the Lions would be in position to clinch a playoff spot, a feat they have not accomplished in consecutive seasons since the mid-1990s. The Bears (4-7), who are on a five-game losing streak, are looking to bounce back from their 30-27 overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings. While Detroit’s playoff aspirations shine brightly, Chicago’s resilience will be tested in a short recovery week.
New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys
At 4:30 p.m. ET, the Dallas Cowboys face the New York Giants at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Fox will air the game with streaming on Fubo and NFL+. Since 1966, the Cowboys have made Thanksgiving football a central theme, following the Lions’ previous game.

Dallas (4-7) is fresh off a surprising win over Washington and is showing offensive promise despite the absence of Dak Prescott due to a hamstring injury. Quarterback Cooper Rush and defensive powerhouse Micah Parsons are ready to deliver against a struggling Giants team (2-9). New York, plagued by quarterback uncertainty, will rely on either Tommy DeVito or Drew Lock following the departure of Daniel Jones and DeVito’s recent injury. The Giants have significant hurdles to overcome to avoid another crushing defeat.
Miami Dolphins vs. Green Bay Packers
The Thanksgiving tripleheader concludes at 8:20 p.m. ET with the Green Bay Packers hosting the Miami Dolphins at Lambeau Field. NBC will broadcast the game and streaming options include Fubo and Peacock.

Green Bay (8-3) looks to maintain its position in the highly competitive NFC North, while Miami (5-6) fights to cement its status as a wild card contender. The weather conditions, expected to dip to 19°F, could challenge Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who has yet to win in games below 45°F. If Miami can beat the cold, it could keep its postseason hopes alive.
