Fans in the blue area on the map below will have the Dolphins vs. Patriots game on their local FOX station at 4:25 p.m. ET. Via 506sports.com: Those who aren't in an area highlighted blue will need NFL Sunday Ticket, now offered by YouTube, to watch the Dolphins as an out-of-market game.

The NFL announced its Week 18 schedule late Sunday night, revealing the date and kickoff time of the Dolphins’ finale against the Patriots.

The Miami Dolphins are at a crossroads with recently benched (and now third-string) quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who is owed $54 million guaranteed next season as part of a four-year, $212.4 million extension that runs through 2028.

The 7-9 Miami Dolphins are out of playoff contention, but will attempt to play spoilers against the New England Patriots, who are in the hunt for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The 13-3 Patriots need a win against Miami along with a Denver Broncos loss to earn a first-round bye.
