Sunday Night Football Scores on Mac: Track SNF Without Tabs

What happened tonight

As of press time the game was still live in the third quarter. A check of the ESPN game page around research time had the Seahawks up 13–0 with 8:09 left in the third. Open that link for the live total rather than treating this paragraph as a final.

Through the second and into the third, the scoring run included:

X US trends at research time were dominated by Chiefs, Seahawks, Mahomes, Packers and #KCvsSEA; Google Trends US for "chiefs seahawks" sat at a relative peak of 100 in keyword-compare, and X post counts for Chiefs/Seahawks spiked to about 8.8k/hour during Q3. Clip chatter is loud, but a glanceable scoreboard still beats chasing every highlight tab.

SNF is one national game after a full Sunday slate. A panel you open over whatever you are doing is built for that rhythm — and it carries into Monday Night Football the next night.

Kickoff time in your zone

Kickoff was Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 8:20 p.m. Eastern (2026-10-26T00:20Z). The US was still on daylight time (EDT / CDT / PDT). Europe had already moved clocks back early on October 25, so UK and Central Europe were on winter time for this kickoff.

For much of Asia and Australia, SNF lands in the Monday morning work block. Europe is already on winter time after the October 25 change; the US flips on November 1, so recheck times that week for later Sunday night games.

Why a pinned scoreboard page often stays blank

The obvious idea is to pin ESPN's NFL scoreboard or the game page in a web-view widget. It often does not work: ESPN's NFL scoreboard and game pages tell browsers not to show them inside another app's frame (frame-ancestors limited to ESPN properties; re-checked October 26, 2026). That is the same pattern called out in the TNF tracker and the NBA season tracker. Kepo's guide for its web-view widget warns about exactly this: some sites block embedding and the widget stays blank.

So build the scores widget from data instead of from the page, and use feeds for the news.

Set up an SNF / NFL tracker in Kepo

Kepo keeps small widgets in a floating panel you open with a global shortcut, over any app, including full-screen ones. Four widgets cover a Sunday night, and the same panel works for Monday Night Football next (Cowboys at Eagles, Monday October 26, 8:15 p.m. ET — ESPN gameId 401873009).

1. Tonight's score (built with AI)

Kepo has no fixed NFL plugin, so describe the widget you want. Name the source, the fields and the refresh:

• Prompt example: "Show tonight's NFL game (or today's slate) from a public scoreboard source: both teams, the score, the quarter and clock, or the kickoff time in my time zone if the game has not started. Put my team first. Refresh every 2 minutes while a game is live."
• Check it: compare the first result with ESPN or the league scoreboard before you rely on it, and keep the widget to one game or one night of games.

2. NFL news feed

• Widget: RSS Reader, which reads one RSS or Atom feed.
• Feed URL: https://www.espn.com/espn/rss/nfl/news (ESPN's NFL headlines feed, returning game and injury news on October 26).
• What it shows: the newest headlines with links, such as inactives before kickoff and recaps after the final whistle.

3. Your team or #KCvsSEA on X

• Widget: X Keyword Watch from the X widgets.
• Keyword: one team or tag, for example Chiefs, Seahawks, Mahomes or #KCvsSEA.
• What it shows: the latest posts from X's Live results for that keyword. Sign in to X first for reliable results.

4. Tonight's moneyline (optional)

• Widget: Event Probability from the Polymarket widgets.
• Event slug: nfl-kc-sea-2026-10-26, the Polymarket "Chiefs vs. Seahawks" event for this game (verified via Polymarket's gamma API). For season-long title odds you can still use pro-football-2027-champion-20260729185915366, but the game market fits a single SNF night better.
• What it shows: each side's current probability in that market. The widget is read-only and places no trades; prices can move quickly.

Optional: a countdown to Monday Night Football

Add an Event Timer countdown named Next MNF or Cowboys at Eagles. The countdown runs for a length of time from when you save it, so pick Day or Hour as the unit and enter the time left. It is a display only and sends no reminder.

Score apps and tabs vs one shortcut panel

Keep the panel small. One scores widget and one news feed answer most SNF nights; add the keyword and odds widgets only if you check them. The same pattern works for Thursday Night Football and the NBA season if you follow both leagues.

FAQ

What time is Sunday Night Football tonight?

Week 7 SNF (Chiefs at Seahawks) kicked off at 8:20 p.m. ET on October 25, 2026, from Lumen Field on NBC. Convert with the table above for your city; later Sundays shift after the US changes clocks on November 1.

Is there an NFL scores widget for Mac?

macOS has no built-in NFL scores widget. With Kepo you can describe one to its AI builder, using a public scoreboard as the source, and keep it next to a news feed in one panel.

Can I pin ESPN's NFL scoreboard in a widget?

You can try, but ESPN's NFL scoreboard and game pages block being shown inside another app's frame, so a web-view widget may stay blank. A widget built from score data, plus an RSS feed for news, is more reliable.

Will the widget alert me when the game ends?

The widgets in this setup are for glancing: open the panel and see the current state. They do not send notifications by themselves.

What about Monday Night Football?

The same panel works for Cowboys at Eagles on Monday, October 26, 2026, at 8:15 p.m. ET (kickoff 2026-10-27T00:15Z; ESPN gameId 401873009). Swap the scores prompt and keyword; keep the ESPN NFL feed.
