Having trouble deciding what to watch tonight? It may be because you have too many options.
The NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL all have at least one game going Thursday night, marking the 18th “Sports Equinox” in history.
As the NBA and NHL seasons get underway this month and the MLB playoffs are still playing out, late October is the only time of year that all four major North American leagues overlap.
Last year was the first time the Sports Equinox happened on a Thursday, as the NFL has not had Thursday Night Football across the entire season for very long. Before 2017, these usually occurred on Sundays, sometimes Mondays.
Denver and Arizona play in this week’s Thursday Night Football game. The Red Sox and Astros are back at it in Game 5 of the ALCS. There will be nine NHL games and three NBA games, including the Washington Wizards’ season opener.
Happy channel-flipping, sports nuts.
