If the weekly NFL broadcast schedule was a meal, Thursday Night Football would be the salad (no one’s favorite, but necessary and occasionally excellent), NFL RedZone would be side dishes (smaller portions, but guaranteed you’ll find something both surprising and delicious), and Monday Night Football would be desert (no explanation needed). That makes Sunday Night Football the main course, and while it might not always be your favorite part of the meal, it is typically the most interesting, well-prepared recipe.
Food metaphors aside, Sunday Night Football on NBC is immensely popular. In fact, it is the most-popular primetime TV show in America, and has been for an unprecedented 12 years running. That leads us to the big question: How do I watch Sunday Night Football with DISH and what games are scheduled for the 2023 season? Glad you asked. Not a DISH subscriber?
