The 2024 NFL season is in full swing, with football fans tuning in Thursday, Sunday, and Monday to watch their favorite teams. Even though NFL Sunday Ticket is gaining popularity, the NFL coverage map is a guide all football fans need.

While every NFL game is on television, many are on at the same time. As a result, TV networks and league officials agree to have certain teams broadcasted in certain markets. The NFL TV map shows you what games are on in your area. The NFL broadcast map changes each week, and we’ll provide updates throughout the season.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Carolina Panthers – CBS – 1:00 PM ET – Ian Eagle and Charles Davis

Now that the Chiefs have finally lost a game, they can relax a bit, knowing they’re still on track for the first seed in the AFC Playoffs. Yet, the Panthers have some sneaky potential with Bryce Young playing better, but can they surprise one of the NFL’s best teams?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ New York Giants – CBS – 1:00 PM ET – Andrew Catalon, Tiki Barber, and Jason McCourty

Fresh off a bye week for both teams, the Giants are hoping to find a spark after benching Daniel Jones for Tommy DeVito. Yet, the Buccaneers are trying to get back to the playoffs, and facing one of the NFL’s worst teams should give them a strong chance of getting back on track.

New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins – CBS – 1:00 PM ET – Spero Dedes and Adam Archuleta

Drake Maye has given the Patriots hope. Ditto for the Dolphins since Tua Tagovailoa returned. Yet, while the Dolphins are still hoping to carve out enough wins for a playoff spot, the Patriots are in pure evaluation mode, identifying players who can become long-term contributors. This should be a fairly competitive matchup, with New England’s defense giving Miami some fits.

Tennessee Titans @ Houston Texans – CBS – 1:00 PM ET – Tom McCarthy, Ross Tucker and Jay Feely

The Titans look like one of the NFL’s worst teams, having committed the third-most turnovers and having the third-fewest takeaways. That’s not a recipe for success, but Will Levis has shown some capability as of late. Still, we expect the Texans to dominate on both sides of the ball in this one.

Denver Broncos @ Las Vegas Raiders – CBS – 4:05 PM ET – Kevin Harlan and Trent Green

Boasting a top-five defense plus a rookie quarterback who’s done a good job of limiting mistakes, the Broncos could give the Raiders a lot of problems. Gardner Minshew has done nothing to indicate he’ll be part of the Raiders’ future and Antonio Pierce’s defense is allowing the fourth-most points in the NFL. This one could get ugly.

Dallas Cowboys @ Washington Commanders – FOX – 1 PM ET – Joe Davis and Greg Olsen

Everything’s going wrong for the Cowboys. Meanwhile, it feels like everything’s gone right for the Commanders since drafting Jayden Daniels. Both defenses have some room for improvement, but at least Dan Quinn’s unit ranks above average, while Mike Zimmer’s is one of the NFL’s worst. Washington could score a lot of points in this one. Will Dallas give Trey Lance a chance?

Minnesota Vikings @ Chicago Bears – FOX – 1 PM ET – Kevin Kugler and Daryl Johnston

Chicago nearly pulled out a last-second victory in Week 11 against a good Packers team. This could have the Bears playing with a bigger chip on their shoulders, especially against a division rival. Yet, Caleb Williams has yet to face Brian Flores’ defense, which has forced the NFL’s most takeaways. The Vikings should be able to handle the Bears without issue, but Chicago’s top-ten defense could always ruin Sam Darnold’s day.

Detroit Lions @ Indianapolis Colts – FOX – 1 PM ET – Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma

The NFL’s hottest team, and possibly the best, takes on a Colts group that has been extremely inconsistent while flipping back and forth from Anthony Richardson to Joe Flacco. This time it’s Richardson’s turn and he’s coming off a big win over the Jets. Can the former first-round pick overcome a tough, physical Lions team? The odds are stacked against him.

San Francisco 49ers @ Green Bay Packers – FOX – 4:25 PM ET – Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady

Typically a great playoff matchup, this one doesn’t quite feel the same in 2024 with the 49ers holding a 5-5 record. Yet, perhaps a matchup against the Packers can be the springboard that gets San Francisco back on track. Conversely, moving to 8-3 with a win over San Francisco would be a significant step forward for Green Bay.

Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks – FOX – 4:25 PM ET – Adam Amin and Tom Brady

Who are the Seahawks in 2024? So far, they’re a 5-5 team, but a win over the Cardinals could put them back on track to win the NFC West. Yet, a win by Arizona would give them a firm grasp on the divisional crown. Both quarterbacks are playing excellent football, which could make for a high-scoring bout.
