Nickelodeon Will Cover NFL Games!

Nickelodeon will start hosting NFL wildcard playoff games.

Viacom-CBS Domestic Networks has decided to air sports on the children's cable network Nickelodeon.

It was confirmed that the National Football League will air 2021 playoff games on Nickelodeon.

Instead of a 12 playoff contest, it will be 14. So there will be two additional games in the wild-card round of the postseason.

The games haven't been scheduled as of yet.

So the NFL is trying to appeal to age 7 to 14 years old?

NBC and CBS will broadcast the additional games, and they'll also air in a couple of new places.

NBC will launch Peacock soon and its likely to be airing NFL Games on Streaming Video on Demand (SVOD).

NFL team owners voted to expand the playoff format from 12 to 14 teams on Tuesday. This will create two additional wild-card playoff games per year, which the team owners voted to broadcast on two of its regular broadcast partners, NBC and CBS.

Both games, however, also will be aired on different platforms. NBC will air its extra game — which will be broadcast at 8:15 p.m. ET on Jan. 10 — on Peacock, its new streaming service, and Spanish-language network Telemundo. CBS will show its game on Nickelodeon, the popular children’s cable station, via a separately produced telecast.

The Nickelodeon game, which will be broadcast at 4:40 p.m. ET on Jan. 10, will be tailored for a younger audience.

Note: Nick at Nite is a part of Nickelodeon and is treated as a separate entity even though its a shared channel.
