The home market always comes first
If your market has an NFL team, that team’s games on CBS, FOX or NBC air on your local station every week, home or away. Our team pages list the station and channel number in each home market.
Everyone else gets an assignment
For the rest of the country, each network’s broadcast team at headquarters builds coverage maps game by game. They weigh proximity, fan following and how attractive the matchup is. A market halfway between two teams might get one in week 6 and the other in week 7.
Single games and doubleheaders
Every Sunday one network has two windows, early (1 PM ET) and late (4:05 or 4:25 PM ET), and the other has one. In a few weeks both networks get a doubleheader. That is why your CBS station sometimes shows two games and your FOX station one, and the next week the reverse.
National games
Thursday nights (Prime Video), Sunday nights (NBC and Peacock), Monday nights (ESPN, with ABC simulcasts on some weeks) and holiday games air in every market. Games on cable or streaming also air on a local broadcast station in the two teams’ home markets.
This week, game by game
Our week-by-week schedules show every game’s network, kickoff in Eastern and Pacific time, and the local station in each team’s home market.
What readers want to know
Why is my local team's game not on in the next state over?
Networks split the country into regions per game. A station 100 miles away may be assigned a different matchup, even for the same network window.
Can I choose which CBS or FOX game I watch?
Not with an antenna. YouTube sells NFL Sunday Ticket, which unlocks the Sunday afternoon games outside your area.
Where can I see the weekly coverage maps?
The fan site 506 Sports publishes CBS and FOX coverage maps each week, usually by Wednesday or Thursday.
