The aforementioned Packers–Saints game took place while the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals (rescheduled from its normal late May–early June schedule) were ongoing; As NBC was also the rightsholder to National Hockey League games in the U.S., the league opted to play Games 4 and 5 (September 25–26) of the finals on consecutive nights to avoid conflict with "SNF". In addition, the 2020 NBA Finals were also moved from June to October due to the pandemic. "SNF" games were played on the same night as NBA Finals in consecutive weeks, on October 4 (Philadelphia vs. San Francisco) the same day as Game 3, and on October 11 (Minnesota vs. Seattle) on the same day as Game 6 (the eventual last game of the series).
