What to Watch This Weekend: Kirk Cousins at Lambeau, UFC 334 at the Garden, and 'The Chosen' Season 6

Some weekends you graze. This one you schedule. Friday brings an NBA Cup doubleheader and two openers worth leaving the house for, Saturday stacks ranked college football under two title fights at Madison Square Garden, and Sunday is Kirk Cousins walking back into Lambeau Field in a Vikings uniform. Here is the whole weekend in the order you will actually watch it — every time Pacific.

Friday, November 13

Cup night: Knicks at Pacers, then Wembanyama gets the Warriors

It is an Emirates NBA Cup night, which means the whole Friday slate counts in the group standings and Prime Video has the doubleheader. First up, the Knicks at the Pacers at 4 p.m. — Game Center. The nightcap is the real appointment: Golden State at San Antonio at 6:30 p.m., also on Prime Video — Game Center. The Spurs sit at 10-2 with ten straight wins and the top spot in our Week 4 Power Rankings, and the Warriors walk in without Stephen Curry — he is expected to miss closer to a month with an oblique tear. Wembanyama against whatever Golden State can still throw at him. The NBA Cup hub tracks the groups all month.

Friday night football: No. 4 UCLA at the Rose Bowl

College football does not wait for Saturday. Illinois visits No. 4 UCLA at the Rose Bowl at 6 p.m. on FOX — Game Center — and the Bruins are one win from tying the school record. Florida State at Pittsburgh is your appetizer at 4 p.m. on ESPN.

The screens: a Zurich heist, Judy Heumann, and Jessica Chastain in Nashville

Three premieres carry Friday night. 12 12 12 opens on Apple TV with Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan on opposite sides of a Zurich vault heist, told across three timelines — twelve months of planning, twelve hours of execution, twelve days of fallout. Being Heumann, also Apple TV, is Sian Heder's follow-up to CODA: Ruth Madeley plays disability-rights activist Judy Heumann, whose 1977 occupation of a San Francisco federal building became a landmark of the disability-rights movement. And on Netflix, Heartland sends Jessica Chastain back to Nashville as a former country star who comes out of seclusion to find her missing niece. More premieres are tracked on our Coming Soon page.

In theaters: Johnny Depp is Scrooge

If you are leaving the house, make it Ebenezer. Ti West turns Dickens into the ghost story it always was, with Johnny Depp as Scrooge in his return to leading a big studio picture — in theaters everywhere Friday, which is also Friday the 13th, and the movie knows it.

The other opener is the one we featured: 'How to Rob a Bank'

This one has our name on it. We published a full feature on How to Rob a Bank this week, and the film lands today. David Leitch — Bullet Train, The Fall Guy — directs Nicholas Hoult and Pete Davidson as a crew that broadcasts its robberies online, so the audience is part of the score — and Zoë Kravitz and John C. Reilly work the very public trail on the other side of the pursuit. It opens in theaters everywhere today: opening-weekend business, best seen before the clips become the whole conversation. Start with the feature, then go see the thing — the film's page keeps the trailers and listings together.

New Music Friday: U2 ends the wait

The headline is U2. Carnaval De Luz, their sixteenth studio album and their first record of new material in nine years, is out today on Interscope. Underneath it: Westside Gunn's Heelmatic on Griselda and Mass Appeal, Aesop Rock and Blockhead reuniting for Trouble Mountain — their first full album together since Garbology — and Snoh Aalegra's Legendary Love. One footnote for the rap historians: Eminem's Infinite is streaming as a six-song EP, not the full debut album. Read the label before you press play.

Saturday, November 14

College football: Miami early, Georgia and USC in the big window, Texas at LSU at night

Saturday opens at 9 a.m. with Duke at No. 7 Miami on ABC — the Hurricanes are unbeaten in ACC play and can clinch their spot in the conference title game. The 12:30 p.m. window is the best of the day and it is not close: No. 22 Missouri at No. 1 Georgia on ABC — Game Center — No. 18 USC at No. 9 Indiana on CBS in what amounts to a Big Ten elimination game, and Boston College at No. 5 Notre Dame on NBC.

No. 8 Tennessee at Texas A&M starts the window at noon on ESPN. Primetime closes it out: No. 6 Texas at No. 21 LSU at 4:30 p.m. on ABC — Game Center — a night game in Death Valley with SEC and playoff stakes all over it, with unbeaten No. 2 Utah at No. 23 Arizona at the same time on FOX as your second screen.

Saturday hoops: Miami at Detroit, 5 p.m.

The basketball game in Saturday's gap belongs to Detroit. The Pistons are 8-3 — one of the best starts in the East — and Miami visits at 5 p.m. on NBA TV, the national window in the last slot before the Garden takes over — Game Center. Dallas at Cleveland at 4:30 p.m. is your lead-in if you want the full hoops runway into the fights.

UFC 334: two titles at Madison Square Garden

This is Saturday night's main event, full stop. UFC 334 at Madison Square Garden puts Ciryl Gane's heavyweight title on the line against the unbeaten No. 4 contender, Josh Hokit — and yes, the eye-poke argument is part of this one: Hokit has promised retaliation if Gane fouls him, and Joe Rogan spent the week arguing the second poke should end a fight outright. The co-main might be bigger: Kayla Harrison defends the women's bantamweight title against Amanda Nunes, the greatest women's fighter ever, coming back for one more belt.

Early prelims start at 2 p.m., prelims at 4 p.m., the main card at 6 p.m. — and the whole night streams on Paramount+ with no pay-per-view charge. Our full fight-week guide has the entire 13-fight card. Boxing fills the rest of the day: Zuffa Boxing 13 from Riyadh at 4:30 a.m. on Paramount+, with Carlos Adames fighting Gerome Warburton at a catchweight, and Diego Pacheco against Darius Fulghum from Carson at 5 p.m. on DAZN and TNT.

Saturday's other stage: the Rock Hall tapes in Los Angeles

Honest guide, honest note: the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony happens Saturday night at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, but it tapes — you will watch it on ABC and Disney+ in December. The class is why it belongs here anyway: Phil Collins, Sade, Oasis, Iron Maiden, Wu-Tang Clan, Billy Idol, Joy Division/New Order and Luther Vandross, with Early Influence honors for Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Fela Kuti, Celia Cruz and Gram Parsons. Half the headliners are not expected in the room, which tells you everything about rock and roll in 2026. Saturday's actual music stream: the first two Hunger Games films land on Peacock — a one-week runway to Sunrise on the Reaping in theaters next Friday.

Sunday, November 15

The wild card: breakfast football from Munich, 6:30 a.m.

Set the alarm or set the recording — just do not miss the strangest kickoff of the season. The Patriots and the Lions play in Munich at Bayern's stadium at 6:30 a.m. on FOX — Game Center. Detroit's Amon-Ra St. Brown, who has family roots in Germany, is effectively the home player in a building full of people wearing his jersey; our Germany game story has his whole angle. Coffee first. Everything else can wait.

Cousins at Lambeau: Vikings at Packers, 10 a.m.

Here is the weekend's story. Five days ago the Vikings sent a 2027 third-round pick to Las Vegas and brought Kirk Cousins home. Sunday at 10 a.m. on FOX — Game Center — he walks back into Lambeau Field, the stadium where his first Vikings run ended on a cart with a torn Achilles in 2023, and he does it wearing No. 8 again, after rookie Jakobe Thomas handed the number back for free. He took the first-team reps on Thursday and is on track to start. The football is real too: Minnesota is 6-2 with two straight losses, Green Bay is 6-3, and first place in the NFC North rides on it. Our Lambeau return story has the full picture — the trade, the number, and what Sunday actually grades.

The rest of Sunday's NFL lines up behind it. The 10 a.m. window also has the Chiefs at the Falcons and the Bills at the Jets, both on CBS. The afternoon belongs to Vegas: the Seahawks visit the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium at 1:05 p.m. on CBS — Game Center — with the 49ers at the Cowboys at 1:25 p.m. on FOX as the flip channel. Sunday night closes with the Steelers at the Bengals at 5:20 p.m. on NBC.

Afternoon hoops in the football gaps

The NBA fills the gaps between football windows: the Suns at the Lakers at 1 p.m., then the Mavericks at the Celtics at 3 p.m. — Game Center. Boston walks in at 10-2 with the East's best record, which makes the late game the basketball pick of the day if the football has gone sideways by then — and the Stats Hub has the comparisons if you are arguing about either one.

Close it out: 'The Chosen' Season 6

One lighter Sunday stream first: Cunk on Cinema lands on Netflix, with Diane Morgan's Philomena Cunk asking filmmakers the questions nobody else would ask about the history of movies. Then the big one. When the stadiums empty, the biggest premiere of the weekend is a quiet one. The Chosen Season 6 arrives Sunday on Prime Video with its first three episodes dropping together — the season covers the final day of Jesus' life, episode by episode, with the crucifixion held back for a standalone film in theaters next March. Six episodes total, weekly after Sunday. It has been building to this for five seasons, and more than 300 million viewers have come along. That is your Sunday-night closer.

If you only watch three things: Cousins at Lambeau on Sunday morning, because stories like that do not come pre-written any better; UFC 334 on Saturday night, because two title fights and no pay-per-view is the best deal in sports this month; and The Chosen on Sunday night, to land the plane. Everything else is a screen you flip to during commercials — and this weekend, even the commercials have a game worth flipping to.
