TNF Scores Oct 29 on Mac: Track Panthers at Packers Without Tabs

Tonight's game is still pregame

As of Asia-morning research on October 29, 2026, Panthers at Packers had not kicked off. The table below is the scheduled tip, and the score is still 0–0. Open the ESPN game page (gameId 401873023) once the game starts, and use that page for the live total.

TNF is one national game. A panel you open over whatever you are doing covers that hour, then the same panel covers Sunday.

Kickoff time in your zone

Kickoff is Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 8:15 p.m. Eastern, which is 7:15 p.m. Central at Lambeau Field (2026-10-30T00:15Z). The United States is still on daylight time (EDT / CDT / PDT) until November 1. Europe moved clocks back on October 25, so London and Central Europe are already on winter time. London is 12:15 a.m. Friday. The October 22 Patriots–Bears game was 1:15 a.m. in London because the UK was still on British Summer Time that week.

For much of Asia and Australia, TNF lands in the Friday morning work block. After the US clock change on November 1, recheck later Thursday kickoffs.

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 stays blank: ESPN's NFL scoreboard and game pages tell browsers not to show them inside another app's frame. The same limit is already spelled out in the October 22 TNF guide, the SNF guide, and the October 28 NBA guide.

Build the scores widget from the score data, and use a feed for the headlines.

Set up tonight's TNF 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 Thursday night, and the same panel works on Sunday.

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, Panthers at Packers, 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 the ESPN game page before you rely on it, and keep the widget to this one game.

2. NFL news feed

• Widget: RSS Reader, which reads one RSS or Atom feed.
• Feed URL: https://www.espn.com/espn/rss/nfl/news
• What it shows: the newest NFL headlines with links, such as inactives before kickoff and a recap after the final whistle.

3. #TNF, Packers, or Panthers on X

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

4. Optional: a countdown to kickoff

Add an Event Timer countdown named CAR @ GB kickoff. The countdown runs for a length of time from when you save it, so pick Hour or Minute 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 TNF nights. Add the keyword watch and the countdown only if you check them. The same pattern works for Sunday Night Football and the NBA season guide if you follow more than one sport.

FAQ

What time is Panthers at Packers tonight?

8:15 p.m. ET / 7:15 p.m. CT on Thursday, October 29, 2026, from Lambeau Field on Prime Video. Convert with the table above for your city. London is 12:15 a.m. Friday because Europe is already on winter time.

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.
