NEW YORK (CBSMiami) – The National Football League has announced that it will continue it's partnership with CBS to televise Thursday Night Football games for the 2015 season.

While the agreement is for the 2015 season, the NFL holds an option for an additional year after that.

As it did in 2014, CBS will broadcast the first eight Thursday Night Football games, which will also be simulcast on NFL Network.

The final eight Thursday Night Football games will be broadcast exclusively on NFL Network.  The mix of games will include 14 on Thursday nights and two late-season games on Saturday.

All 16 games will be produced by CBS, with its lead broadcasters and production team on each of the Thursday night games.

The pregame, halftime and postgame shows will continue to feature NFL Network and CBS Sports hosts and analysts.

"We are pleased to extend our partnership with CBS for Thursday Night Football," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "The promotion and production by CBS and NFL Network last season made Thursday night a night for NFL football. We look forward to working again next season with CBS."

In addition to Thursday Night Football in 2015, CBS will conclude its 56th year broadcasting the NFL with its exclusive presentation of Super Bowl 50 from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 7, 2016.
