Nfl Tv Map & Viewing Guide: Broadcast Channels and Times for Every Weekend Game
By Elena Rostova
Q1: Why is my favorite team not showing on my local CBS or FOX channel?
A1: Broadcast networks assign games based on designated market areas (DMAs). If a nearby regional team is playing during the same window, your local affiliate must carry that game to fulfill league market obligations, bumping other games to out-of-market services.
Q2: Can I watch regional CBS games on Paramount+ without a cable subscription?
A2: Yes. The Paramount+ Essential and with SHOWTIME tiers both include the live feed of your local CBS affiliate. You will see whichever NFL game your local market broadcasts that afternoon.
Q3: How do I watch games if I live outside my favorite team's broadcast zone?
A3: You must subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket via YouTube TV or YouTube Primetime Channels. Sunday Ticket covers all out-of-market Sunday afternoon CBS and FOX games, but excludes prime-time games on NBC, ESPN, and Prime Video.
Q4: Do digital antennas work for Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football?
A4: An over-the-air digital antenna picks up Sunday Night Football on NBC and select Monday Night Football games whenever ABC simulcasts the ESPN feed. Games exclusive to ESPN or Prime Video cannot be received via antenna outside local team markets.
