Overview
- The first full Sunday slate runs Sunday, Sept. 13, after Wednesday’s Seattle‑Patriots opener and Thursday’s 49ers‑Rams game in Melbourne, with 13 games scheduled for broadcast across the day.
- CBS and FOX each carry six regional afternoon games under 506 Sports coverage maps, leaving NBC to air the 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday Night Football matchup of the Dallas Cowboys at the New York Giants.
- CBS’s marquee midday matchups include Buffalo at Houston at 1 p.m. ET and the Green Bay at Minnesota game in the late window, while FOX’s notable late game is Washington at Philadelphia.
- Fans can watch local-market games on their CBS or FOX affiliates, stream many matchups on services such as YouTube TV, Fubo, Peacock and Paramount+, and out‑of‑market access still generally requires league packages like NFL Sunday Ticket or NFL+ with device limits.
- The mix of regional TV maps, national windows and separate streaming rules means viewers must check their market assignment or buy a league package to follow teams outside their area, a setup likely to keep subscription demand high this season.
