The NFL regular season concludes this weekend, and it sets up the potential to be an epic one given the parity and unpredictability we've watched the past couple of months. 

There are outstanding matchups in Week 18 to look forward to, and although most of the playoff seeds were clinched, a couple are still available and will be claimed this weekend. 

A lot is still on the line for a few teams battling for the last postseason spots, division crowns, and number one seed in their conferences. 

Either way, teams that want to have a great start to 2026 realize that it all comes down to their performances to determine whether they can extend their season into January or if they will be spectators watching the playoffs at home. 

Here is a look at the schedule and how to stream NFL games on FOX this weekend.
