For the first time in more than 40 years, the NFL will play host to games on four different Saturdays this season, starting with this coming weekend, Dec. 16.

Typically, Saturdays have been reserved for college football action, with the NFL hosting the bulk of its games on Sundays with the schedule stretching into "Monday Night Football" and the (often sluggish and listless) Thursday matchups.

The NFL hosting games on Saturdays has been happening for years, but the 2023 schedule expanded those Saturday slates to extend over Weeks 15 through 18.

The Saturday action kicks off this weekend with matchups between the Minnesota Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts, as well as the Denver Broncos facing off against the Detroit Lions.

Here's how fans can pack their weekend with NFL action by tuning into Saturday's action.
