There are five NFL games scheduled total for Saturday, Dec. 19 and the following Saturday, Dec. 26. Four of those feature exclusive broadcasts on NFL Network: Bills vs. Broncos and Packers vs. Panthers in Week 15, and Lions vs. Buccaneers and Raiders vs. Dolphins in Week 16.

Below, we’ve got more information on how to access NFL Network on your TV, and how it can be streamed if your channel lineup doesn’t include NFL Network.
