The 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony has concluded. The festivities featured performances from Mariah Carey and Andrea Bocelli, 3,000 athletes walking in the Parade of Nations, and not one but two Olympic cauldrons being lit. (One at Milan's Arco della Pace, since Milan is serving as the main hub for this year's Games, and the other in the Alpine city of Cortina d’Ampezzo, where events like skiing are taking place.) If you missed out on watching live, the Opening Ceremony will re-air in primetime tonight on NBC. Here's what you need to know.

Two top NFC teams will face off in a Black Friday showdown airing on Prime Video. The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Chicago Bears this Friday afternoon. The Eagles faced some setbacks this past week, dealing with a surprising loss to the Dallas Cowboys who came back from a 21 point deficit to win last Sunday and a potential season-ending injury for rookie safety Drew Mukuma, who fractured his ankle in that game. The Eagles are still ranked No. 2 overall in the NFC, and the Bears are right behind them at No. 3, so the results of this matchup will be significant to the playoff race.
The Bears vs. Eagles game will stream live nationally on Amazon Prime Video Friday at 3 p.m. ET. Keep reading to find out what you need to know about Friday's game, and the rest of the Week 13 schedule.

Ready for some turkey day football? (Getty Images)
saje via Getty Images
The Dallas Cowboys have become as much a part of Thanksgiving Day tradition as turkey and stuffing. The team has played a Thanksgiving game every year since 1978, and this year, they'll be setting the table to host the Kansas City Chiefs at AT&T Stadium. The Chiefs will likely arrive hungry; they haven't appeared in a turkey day game since 2006. The game is set to air on CBS and Paramount+, with kickoff scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET. If you want to welcome Dak Prescott, Patrick Mahomes and the rest of these two teams into your living room on Thursday (oh, and Post Malone, too — he's performing at halftime), we've got some good news: you can watch the game at a steep discount thanks to an incredible new deal for a subscription to Paramount+.
Starting on November 25 at 12 p.m. ET and running through December 2, you can score either the Paramount+ Essential plan or an ad-free Paramount+ Premium plan for $2.99/month for 2 months. You can use either plan to watch this week's Thanksgiving game, and more than 30 games during the remainder of the season, too.
Here's what you need to know to watch the Chiefs vs. Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game for less on Paramount+.
How to watch the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Dallas Cowboys on Paramount+ for less:

We're about to enter our third week of what feels like a never-ending contract dispute between Disney and YouTube TV that has left YouTube TV customers without access to over 20 Disney-owned channels. Reports estimate that Disney is losing $4.3 million per day during the blackout, you you would think they'd like to resolve the situation quickly, but Disney CFO Hugh Johnston stated ominously earlier this week, "We’re ready to go as long as they want to." On the up side, YouTube TV has finally started issuing $20 credits to customers as consolation for their troubles, but will that be enough to keep their base from jumping ship and finding a new streaming service? As a reminder of how we got here, the Walt Disney Co. pulled its channels from YouTube TV on Oct. 30 after the two companies failed to reach new terms on their latest carriage agreement, and YouTube TV subscribers have gone without NFL, NBA and NCAA games on ABC and ESPN's suite of channels for two full weeks. With no agreement in sight, YouTube TV subscribers will be left in the dark for this weekend's NCAA football games, and possibly Monday Night Football, too.
With huge conference matchups like Texas vs. Georgia and Oklahoma vs. Alabama on ABC and Florida vs. Ole Miss on ESPN this Saturday,, you'll need to seek out alternative viewing methods if you rely on YouTube TV for those channels. And unfortunately for YouTube TV's negotiating position, there are plenty of options.
One of the cheapest ways to watch ESPN is with a Sling Day Pass — for just $5/day, you can tune into any and all ESPN programming with no other commitments. If you want a full switch from YouTube TV, there's Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV, or Fubo, where you can watch all the Disney-owned channels. (Remember, unlike a lot of cable plans, you can easily pause or cancel YouTube TV or any of these alternatives, so long as you have month-to-month subscriptions.) Below, we've outlined some of your best options to watch ESPN, the Disney Channel, ABC and more, all pulled from our list of best live TV streaming services to cut cable, as well as a comprehensive list of which channels have been affected, and the biggest sporting events of the week that won't be available to YouTube TV subscribers.
What games are on ESPN/ABC this week?
If you're wondering what games you might miss as a result of the YouTube TV/Disney blackout, here's a list of some upcoming sports you may not want to miss:
NCAA Football
Friday, Nov. 14
5:30 p.m. | South Carolina State at North Carolina Central | ESPN2 7:30 p.m. | Clemson at No. 20 Louisville | ESPN
Saturday, Nov. 15
12 p.m. | South Carolina at No. 3 Texas A&M | ESPN 12 p.m. | No. 9 Notre Dame at No. 22 Pitt | ABC 12 p.m. | Kansas State at Oklahoma State | ESPNU 12 p.m. | No. 24 South Florida at Navy | ESPN2 12:45 p.m. | Arkansas at LSU | SEC Network 1:30 p.m. | Tennessee Tech at Kentucky| SEC Network + 3:30 p.m. | No. 11 Oklahoma at No. 4 Alabama | ABC 3:30 p.m. | No. 19 Virginia at Duke | ESPN2 3:30 p.m. | No. 16 Georgia Tech at Boston College | ACC Network 3:30 p.m. | NC State at No. 15 Miami (Fla.) | ESPN 4 p.m. | Memphis at East Carolina | ESPNU 4:15 p.m. | New Mexico State at No. 23 Tennessee | SEC Network 7 p.m. | Florida at No. 7 Ole Miss | ESPN 7 p.m. | No. 13 Utah at Baylor | ESPN2 7:30 p.m. | No. 10 Texas at No. 5 Georgia | ABC 7:30 p.m. | Virginia Tech at Florida State | ACC Network 7:45 p.m. | Mississippi State at Missouri | SEC Network 8 p.m. | Kennesaw State at Jacksonville State | ESPNU 10:15 p.m. | TCU at No. 12 BYU | ESPN 10:30 p.m. | UC Davis at Montana State | ESPN2

NFL

Grab an ESPN bundle so you won't miss the NFL, NBA or any other games
Get Hulu + Live TV at a great price
Try Fubo free for a week and get $30 your first month
Try DirecTV free for 5 days, and get $30 off your first month
What about Sling "day passes"?
You may have heard that Sling offers day, weekend and week passes to its streaming programming for as little as $5 per day. That is an option if you're looking for just some of the ESPN channels (the Sling Orange tier), but ABC isn't included. (If you're just looking to catch one of this week's big games, like Monday Night Football on ESPN, it's a great short-term solution.) If you want a longer-term solution, you can get both ESPN and ABC with Sling's Orange and Blue package ($30 a month to start, $61 thereafter), but you'll need to add on the Sports Extra package for ESPNU, which requires an additional charge.
Get your local Disney/ABC programming for free
Need your local ABC programming? Your station may have its own free local streaming news channel (many do), you can see if The Roku Channel carries your local station's news, or download your local news station app if it's a Nexstar channel.
The other alternative — if you're within the broadcast radius of a local ABC affiliate — is to get an over-the-air antenna. You can plug in your ZIP code at antennaweb.org to see what channels are in your area. This off-brand unit has worked very well in our initial testing — it's under $30, and the channels are truly free.
Which channels are no longer available on YouTube TV?
Every channel that's owned by The Walt Disney Company is currently blacked out on YouTube TV. Those channels are:
ABC
ABC News Live
ACC Network
Disney Channel
Disney Junior
Disney XD
ESPN
ESPNews
ESPN2
ESPNU
Freeform
FX
FXM
FXX
Localish
Nat Geo
Nat Geo Wild
SEC Network
ESPN Deportes
Baby TV Español
