Nickelodeon to show an NFL playoff game tailored for younger viewers

NBC Sports

The NFL owners approved a new playoff format expanding the field from 12 to 14 teams that will feature six playoff games on Wild Card weekend, instead of the previous four. As part of CBS’ coverage, a separately produced telecast of one of the Jan. 10, 2021 games will air on Nickelodeon, tailored for a younger audience. CBS and NBC will each get an extra NFL playoff game under the new format. NBC's Wild Card playoff game on Jan. 10 will be simulcast on Peacock and Telemundo.
