What Channel Is the Ball Drop on Verizon Fios
What time is the NFL game tonight? TV schedule, channel for Browns vs. Broncos in Week 7
"Thursday Night Football" has started at the same time for the entire 2021 NFL season. That won't change in Week 7.
The Browns and Broncos have the honors of starting the seventh week of the NFL season. Both teams are sitting at 3-3 and have regressed since strong starts to the season, largely thanks to injuries. Cleveland had 20 players on its injury report on Monday and both squads are dealing with banged-up quarterbacks, so this game could get interesting quickly.
Fans of both teams will want to keep a close eye on the injury reports for this contest, as dozens of players are questionable for this game. Injury reports will drop 90 minutes before the game's 8:20 p.m. ET start time. There will also be pregame coverage beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET.
The Browns will play host in this one. It's their second consecutive home game after they were manhandled by the Cardinals on Sunday, but they'll try to rely on the crowd at FirstEnergy Stadium for a spark in this one.
Below is everything to know about the TV schedule for the NFL Week 7 opener between the Browns and Broncos, plus a look at the rest of the NFL schedule for this week.

NFL Week 7 schedule
The Browns and Broncos will kick off another week of NFL action, but this is the lightest game-slate to date. There will be only 13 games in Week 7, as six teams will be on bye. The good news is that there are plenty of quality games on the schedule. "Sunday Night Football" will feature an interesting clash between the Colts and 49ers while the Saints and Seahawks will play on "Monday Night Football" without Drew Brees and Russell Wilson respectively.
Additionally, the Cardinals will look to improve to 7-0 in a matchup against the Texans. That will be a revenge game for DeAndre Hopkins, who has yet to play the Texans since he was traded to the Cardinals. The Lions-Rams game will be interesting as well. Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff traded places during the offseason, so they'll each hope to beat their former team.
Below is the full schedule for Week 7 of the 2021 NFL season.
