Thursday Night Football

Weekly prime-time gridiron

Thursday Night Football is the NFL's weekly prime-time game broadcast on Thursday evenings during the regular season.

The phrase often appears in casual conversation about scheduling conflicts or weekend plans: I can't make it—Thursday Night Football.

Like its companion Monday Night Football, it has become a fixture of American sports culture, though some criticize the short recovery time for players.
