Nickelodeon and the NFL, in conjunction with CBS Sports, are bringing Slimetime back to primetime for a second season of the Sports Emmy Award-nominated NFL Slimetime, premiering Wednesday, Sept. 14, at 7 p.m. (ET/PT). Combining Nick-ified highlights, expert advice and special guest appearances, NFL Slimetime is a fun-filled weekly NFL experience for kids and families to enjoy together. The half-hour series (23 episodes) will regularly air Wednesdays at 7 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon through Wednesday, Feb. 15, the week after Super Bowl LVII, with episodes available to stream on Paramount+ the following day.

The second season of NFL Slimetime will feature: even more epic Nick-ified Slimelights; the “Best Play Ever,” showcasing the standout play of the week; the weekly NVP (Nickelodeon’s “Most Valuable Player”) trophy winner, announced by Lincoln Loud; interviews with some of the NFL’s biggest stars; celebrity guest game picks; youth football spotlights; and more.
