How often Championship Sunday runs, and when
Championship Sunday runs on a recurring Sunday schedule, with its window opening on Sundays at 4:00 PM ET. That single afternoon slot is the anchor for the whole event, and the exact next date and time sit on the card above.
The start time is set in US Eastern time, which places it in the Sunday-afternoon window that mirrors the real NFL postseason. For players in other regions, here is how 4:00 PM ET translates across the major time zones. These conversions shift by an hour once the US moves off daylight saving in the fall, so treat them as the warm-season equivalents.

| US Pacific (PT) | 1:00 PM Sunday |
| UK | 9:00 PM Sunday |

What happens in Championship Sunday
Each run recreates the AFC and NFC Championship matchups and hands you one of the four surviving teams to lead. The goal is simple: win your game and lift your own version of the title.
- Take the field as one of the conference finalists — the Patriots or Broncos on the AFC side, the Rams or Seahawks in the NFC.
- Play out the championship-round matchup and push through to claim the win.
- Treat it as a self-contained postseason showcase built around the two title games rather than a full-season grind.
Tips for catching it
- The Sunday 4:00 PM ET slot is convenient across North America and early evening in Western Europe; if you are further east, plan for the small-hours conversion on the list above.
- Set a reminder for the start of the window so you are in the lobby when the matchups open.
How it fits NFL Universe Football’s schedule
Championship Sunday is one of several themed moments Voldex threads through the game across the year. It currently sits alongside the live 2026 Season Kickoff Event, and it follows the same beat as past marquee drops like Super Bowl LX and the seasonal Christmas Event. Where the Kickoff Event opens the campaign, Championship Sunday leans into the business end of the season with its own postseason-themed window.
