2026 season

Where to watch NFL games

The NFL's TV map barely changes year to year, which is the good news. Sunday afternoons belong to CBS and FOX, Sunday night is NBC's, Monday is ESPN's, Thursday nights are Prime Video's exclusive turf, and NFL Network fills in a select schedule. Follow a team from another city and you'll want NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube for the out-of-market Sunday games. In Canada, Bell's channels — TSN, CTV, CTV2 and RDS — are the league's exclusive TV home through the Super Bowl. As always here, if we couldn't verify it from an official source, it's not on the page.

Local games air on broadcast TV in the teams' home markets even when they're exclusive elsewhere — Thursday Night Football still shows up on a local station in the two cities playing. Your local listings settle any confusion.
