The NFL playoffs are here — and Wild Card Weekend begins today (Saturday, January 10, 2026) with a two-game slate featuring a road favourite in Charlotte and a historic rivalry showdown under the lights in Chicago.
If you’re searching for kick-off times, TV channels, and streaming options, here’s the clean, fast guide to watching every game on Saturday — plus a quick look ahead to the rest of Wild Card Weekend.
Today’s NFL Wild Card games (Saturday, Jan 10)
1) Los Angeles Rams vs Carolina Panthers
- Kick-off (US): 4:30 p.m. ET
- Kick-off (UK): 9:30 p.m. GMT
- Where: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte
- TV channel: FOX
- Streaming: FOX via supported live-TV services (including Fubo in the US)
- Records: Rams (12–5) vs Panthers (8–9)
What to know: The Rams enter as heavy favourites despite being on the road, while the Panthers arrive as NFC South champions and underdogs — the kind of matchup that can swing on one early turnover or a big special-teams moment.
2) Green Bay Packers vs Chicago Bears
- Kick-off (US): 8:00 p.m. ET
- Kick-off (UK): 1:00 a.m. GMT (early Sunday, Jan 11)
- Where: Soldier Field, Chicago
- How to watch: Amazon Prime Video (streaming-exclusive nationally)
- Records: Packers (9–7–1) vs Bears (11–6)
What to know: This is rivalry theatre — and a prime-time playoff meeting at Soldier Field adds extra fuel. The Bears are at home as NFC North champions, but the matchup is tight enough on paper that it could come down to late-game execution.
Quick TV & streaming recap
- Rams vs Panthers: FOX (US broadcast) + streaming options that carry FOX
- Packers vs Bears: Amazon Prime Video (streaming-only nationally)
