FOX NFL Sunday is doing double duty this week and some of its stars are missing the main show.

Fox hosts a special football game on Saturday in addition to its Sunday games.

Due to the two days of football, Fox NFL Sunday will air a pregame show on Saturday and Sunday this week.

On Saturday, the show begins at 4 p.m. ET.

The show takes place before the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens at 4:30 p.m.

This preshow will feature Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson and Jay Glazer.

Sunday’s preshow begins as usual at 12:00 p.m. ET and will air for one hour.

It will be almost the exact same crew, except Johnson will be swapped out for Rob Gronkowski.

Fox has given no reason why Johnson will not be available for both shows this weekend.

NBC also has double duty this weekend as they host Saturday’s game between the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs as well as Sunday Night Football.

Their pregame show, Football Night in America, airs Saturday at 12 p.m.

The pregame show also takes place on the Sunday before Sunday Night Football.

In addition to the NFL games, the opening games of the College Football Playoffs also take place.

SMU plays Penn State, Clemson plays Texas and Tennessee plays Ohio State.

Since five football games will be played on Saturday, the schedule is as follows:

• Noon – SMU at Penn State
• 1:00 p.m. – Texans at Chiefs
• 4:00 p.m. – Clemson at Texas
• 4:30 p.m. – Steelers at Ravens
• 8:00 p.m. – Tennessee at Ohio State

Football fans are happy about the busy schedule and shared their thoughts on social media.

“One hell of a winter solstice here,” one fan said.

“What a wonderful day. I can’t wait!” said another fan.

“Soccer Solstice. I need new batteries for all my remotes,” said a third fan.

“I’ve always prayed for times like this!” said a fourth fan.

“Definitely don’t leave the house,” said a fifth fan.
