Fourteen teams, eight conference games each, and a league that has built its identity on owning weeknights. From the last Saturday in August to Army-Navy in the Meadowlands two weeks into December. Here is the whole American season, week by week.
Times are Eastern. Conference games are in bold. TBA means the networks have not set the window.
