While a majority of playoff spots—and seeds—have already been clinched, there are still a handful of division championships up for grabs heading into the final slate. Because of that, the league naturally waits to schedule Week 18’s matchup until the last possible second in order to, among other things, maximize its television audience.

It all comes down to this. There is only one week remaining in the 2025-26 NFL regular season, with two playoff spots on the line. There is one spot up for grabs in the AFC and one in the NFC, with both games determining those positions set to be highlighted in Week 18.

The Sunday Night Football Game in Week 18 will feature the Pittsburgh Steelers hosting the Baltimore Ravens at 8:20pm ET on NBC and Peacock. The Ravens-Steelers game will be the last contest of the 2025 regular-season, which is referred to as Game 272.

Maximizing the number of games your players suit up each week is just as important as picking the right stars. By tracking the NBA schedule, you can exploit weeks with heavier workloads to gain a measurable edge in fantasy basketball. Even beginners can use this simple strategy to boost weekly production.
