NFL Week 5 began Thursday, October 8, with Tampa Bay’s 24–16 win over Dallas. Most of the games will be played Sunday the 11th, from the London matchup to the night game between the Ravens and Falcons. On Monday the 12th, the Bills and Rams will close out the action.
All times in this article are in Mexico City time. In October, the difference from US Eastern Time is two hours; copying a US schedule without converting the times can make you arrive late or turn on the broadcast too early.
London opens Sunday at 07:30
The Eagles and Jaguars face off in London at 07:30 Mexico City time. It’s the early slot on a day that continues with several games kicking off at the same time. The announced start time is for the game, not the length of the TV pregame show.
At 11:00, Bears–Packers stands out among the games in the main window. Vikings–Saints, Colts–Steelers, and Giants–Commanders are also on the schedule. Not all of these games are divisional: the rivalry between Chicago and Green Bay is in the NFC North, while the other matchups pit teams from different divisions against each other.
The afternoon and the nightcap
Broncos–Chargers is scheduled for 14:05, followed by 49ers–Seahawks at 14:25. Both games feature divisional rivals in their respective conferences. That adds importance to the schedule, but it doesn’t mean a playoff spot can be considered decided after only five weeks.
Ravens–Falcons closes out Sunday at 18:20. For anyone following more than one game, the different kickoff times help with planning the day, although the actual length of a game can cause it to overlap with another game’s end.
Bills and Rams, Monday at 18:15
Buffalo and Los Angeles meet Monday the 12th at 18:15 Mexico City time. It’s the night game that completes the week. Check the official schedule again in case of changes; a screenshot of an earlier schedule may still show a time that has since been changed.
Carolina and Kansas City have a bye this week. A team not appearing on the schedule doesn’t mean its game was canceled: bye weeks are part of the regular-season schedule and affect when each roster returns to action.
Analysts’ predictions and betting odds are another layer of information, separate from results and schedules. This guide focuses on useful information for watching the games and avoids presenting favorites as predicted scores. For broadcasts in Mexico, check what’s available for the specific game; US rights and packages don’t automatically apply to a Mexican account.
