How to use it

How to Read the NFL Coverage Map

A coverage map answers one question: when you sit down on Sunday afternoon, which game is on your screen? Here is the order that gets you there in a few seconds.

1. Check the network you get

Your local CBS and FOX affiliates are fixed, so start with the network you actually receive. On a doubleheader week, one of them gives you two windows of games and the other gives you one.

2. Pick your Sunday window

Early games kick off around 1:00 PM ET and the late window around 4:05 or 4:25 PM ET. Choose the time you plan to watch, then look at that network's game list for that slot.

3. Find your city in the market list

The market list above names the cities that receive each game. If your city is there, that is your game. If it is not, your market follows the network's regional assignment for the area around you.

4. Follow the lead game

The lead game is the one sent to most of the country, usually with the network's top announcer crew. Games without the lead tag go to the home and away markets and to smaller regions.

5. Recheck before kickoff

Regional assignments on this page are built from announced network plans. If a game is moved between windows during the week, the map changes with it, so give it one last look on Sunday morning.

What the map does not cover

Primetime and national games are not regional, so they are not part of the map. They are listed in their own section above, because every market sees them on the same network at the same time.

Timing

When Are NFL Coverage Maps Released?

Coverage maps are not published on a single fixed day. They follow the network scheduling cycle, and the order below is what normally happens in a given week.

Early in the week

The NFL finalizes the week's kickoff times and networks, so the shape of the map — which games sit in the early and late windows — is known before the weekend.

Midweek to Thursday

The networks assign announcer crews and decide which game is the lead in each window. Announcer listings on this page come from those announcements.

Thursday to Friday

Regional assignments settle and the maps take their final shape. Most of the changes that happen all week land in this window.

Saturday

Late adjustments are possible, and this page re-syncs through the week. A game moved between windows shows up in its new window here.

Sunday morning

Only emergency changes happen this late, usually for weather or a flex move in the closing weeks of the season. Your local station's own listing is the final authority on game day.

Late-season flex scheduling

From Week 12 onward, Sunday afternoon games can be flexed into or out of Sunday Night Football. When that happens, both the primetime list and the regional map change.

Quick answers

NFL Coverage Map FAQ

Which NFL game is on in my area this week?

Find your city in the market list on this page. It shows the network, the window and the exact matchup your market receives. If your city is not listed, check your local affiliate's listing, because unlisted markets follow the network's regional assignment for the surrounding area.

What NFL games are on the TV map today?

The map covers Sunday afternoon regional games only. Scroll to the regional windows to see every CBS and FOX game in the early and late slots, and to the primetime section for the Thursday, Sunday night and Monday night national games.

What channel are the NFL games on today?

Sunday afternoon games air on CBS or FOX — the network is printed in each window heading. Primetime games air on NBC, ESPN/ABC, Prime Video or a streaming service, and each primetime card lists its outlet.

What are the CBS NFL coverage maps for Week 16?

The CBS section of the map lists the games CBS is showing in Week 16, split into the windows it carries. If CBS has the doubleheader that week, it appears in both the early and late windows; if not, it shows a single window of games.

What is a doubleheader week in the NFL?

On most Sundays, one network shows games in both the early and late afternoon windows while the other shows only one window. CBS and FOX alternate, which is why some weeks give you four regional games to choose from and others only two.

Can NFL coverage maps change during the week?

Yes. Networks adjust regional assignments as the week goes on, and from Week 12 the NFL can flex Sunday afternoon games into or out of Sunday Night Football. This page re-syncs through the week, but your local station's listing is the final word on game day.

Why is a different NFL game on my TV than the map shows?

Coverage maps show the assignment for a market, and a market can cover several cities across a state or region. Your affiliate can serve a neighbouring city's game, and last-minute changes are not always reflected in published maps, so treat the map as the announced plan.

Are primetime games on the coverage map?

No. Thursday night, Sunday night and Monday night games are national, so every market gets the same broadcast and no regional map is needed. They are listed separately under primetime and national games.

Do the NFL playoffs have coverage maps?

The postseason works differently. Wild-card and divisional games are national broadcasts on CBS, FOX, NBC or ESPN/ABC, so instead of a regional map the games are listed nationally, and the same game airs in every market.

Where do the announcer crews come from?

Announcer assignments come from the networks' own announcements. They can change if a game moves windows, so treat them as the announced crew for that slot rather than a guarantee.

All listings are unofficial and subject to change. Coverage data is maintained from announced network schedules. Last schedule update: Nov 14, 2026 8:27 PM UTC. This independent resource is not affiliated with CBS, FOX or the NFL.
