Could we see the Buffalo Bills play on Thanksgiving or Christmas in 2024?

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) – We will soon know the 2024 NFL schedule and how everything is shaping up for the Buffalo Bills. While the release date remains a mystery, we do know which teams the Bills will play in 2024 and where the games will be:

But how many times will the Bills be in prime time and could we see them playing on Christmas or Thanksgiving?

According to Mike North, the NFL’s vice president of broadcasting, the maximum number of prime-time games a team can schedule is six. That said, teams may be invited to participate in an additional primetime game later in the season. The league considers “prime time games” to be anything played outside of the Sunday afternoon window (1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. EST).

In an interview with It’s always game day in Buffalo hosted by WGR 550’s Sal Capaccio and Bove, North says the Bills are still one of the best draws in the NFL. He says with the combination of Josh Allen and recent success, the Bills are still one of the must-see teams when the schedule is finalized. So spoiler alert, get used to primetime games for at least one more season.

“We’re not taking our foot off the gas with the Bills,” North said. “I don’t think there’s any doubt that they have one of the best players in the league and that’s must-see TV we’re talking about here.”

But what else might we see when the Bills schedule is released? Bove shares more of his predictions and explains why he thinks we could see the Bills playing on Christmas or Thanksgiving.
