The 2024 NFL season is in full swing, with football fans tuning in on Saturday and Sunday 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.

NFL broadcast map: CBS games Week 18

Color | Matchup | Channel | Time | Broadcasters |
RED | Panthers @ Falcons | CBS | 1:00 PM ET | Ian Eagle, Charles Davis |
BLUE | Giants @ Eagles | CBS | 1:00 PM ET | Andrew Catalon, Tiki Barber, Jason McCourty |
GREEN | Bills @ Patriots | CBS | 1:00 PM ET | Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta |
YELLOW | Texans @ Titans | CBS | 1:00 PM ET | Tom McCarthy, Ross Tucker, Jay Feely |
Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons – CBS – 1:00 PM ET – Ian Eagle and Charles Davis
Both teams want a better look at their young, first-round quarterbacks. Yet, unlike the Panthers, the Falcons still have a chance at sneaking into the playoffs, which means their margin for error is much slimmer. Bryce Young versus Michael Penix Jr. makes this an intriguing matchup to watch.

New York Giants @ Philadelphia Eagles – CBS – 1:00 PM ET – Andrew Catalon, Tiki Barber, and Jason McCourty
Unfortunately, the Eagles won’t let Saquon Barkley chase Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record against his former team. It’s a shame because he’s just 101 yards away. With the Eagles resting several starters, this one won’t feature great TV ratings as the hapless Giants close out a disappointing season.
Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots – CBS – 1:00 PM ET – Spero Dedes and Adam Archuleta
Josh Allen is expected to play for a bit before giving way to Mitch Trubisky. Meanwhile, Drake Maye is expected to start, giving him one last chance to head into next season on a high note. Plus, Jerod Mayo’s still looking to prove he’s an NFL-caliber head coach.
Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans – CBS – 1:00 PM ET – Tom McCarthy, Ross Tucker, and Jay Feely
The Titans will be seeing what Mason Rudolph and Will Levis can do one final time this season. But chances are neither will develop into Tennessee’s franchise QB. Houston has gotten mixed results out of C.J. Stroud, but entering the playoffs with momentum feels like a necessity of they want to experience postseason success.

New Orleans Saints @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers – FOX – 1 PM ET – Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady
The Saints have nothing but pride to play for under Darren Rizzi in the season finale. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers just need to win to clinch another NFC South Division title. With the Saints unable to get competent QB play since Derek Carr’s injury, this one likely won’t be close.
Washington Commanders @ Dallas Cowboys – FOX – 1 PM ET – Adam Amin and Mark Sanchez
The Cowboys have performed much better than expected since Dak Prescott’s season-ending injury and we don’t expect them to roll over easily against their NFC East rivals. Jayden Daniels has saved the best for last in several matchups this season, leading four game-winning drives, and he could have another awe-inspiring performance this week too.

Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers – FOX – 1 PM ET – Kevin Kugler and Daryl Johnston
Caleb Williams has been sacked more than any other quarterback this season and the Bears are crawling toward the finish line, having lost 10 consecutive games. Even though Chicago has nothing to play for, this is still one of the most historic rivalries in the NFL, which means this Bears-Packers matchup can be better than it looks on paper.
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Indianapolis Colts – FOX – 1 PM ET – Jason Benetti and Brady Quinn
Mac Jones gets another chance to impress after last week’s win. The Colts have once again done better than expected, winning seven games after bouncing back and forth between Anthony Richardson and Joe Flacco. Even though both teams are jockeying for draft position, each one wants to go out with a bang, especially Doug Pederson’s staff after a rocky season.

Color | Matchup | Channel | Time | Broadcasters |
RED | Chiefs @ Broncos | CBS | 4:25 PM ET | Jim Nantz, Tony Romo |
BLUE | Chargers @ Raiders | CBS | 4:25 PM ET | Kevin Harlan, Trent Green |
Kansas City Chiefs @ Denver Broncos – CBS – 4:25 PM ET – Jim Nantz and Tony Romo
Patrick Mahomes and several other Chiefs will be missing in action this week, which gives Carson Wentz a chance to make a strong impression ahead of free agency. But the Broncos are still hoping to snag the final AFC playoff spot, which makes this one of the more intriguing matchups of the week.
Los Angeles Chargers @ Las Vegas Raiders – CBS – 4:25 PM ET – Kevin Harlan and Trent Green
The Raiders should be trying to land the highest draft pick possible so they can secure a QB of the future. But Antonio Pierce also needs to make a strong impression to ensure ownership doesn’t demand another head coaching change. We also don’t expect Jim Harbaugh to throw in the towel, especially against a AFC West rival, so this one could be exciting too.

RED | Dolphins @ Jets | FOX | 4:25 PM ET | Joe Davis, Greg Olsen |
BLUE | Seahawks @ Rams | FOX | 4:25 PM ET | Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilma |
GREEN | 49ers @ Cardinals | FOX | 4:25 PM ET | Chris Myers, Mark Schlereth |
Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets – FOX – 4:25 PM ET – Joe Davis and Greg Olsen
The Dolphins still have slim playoff hopes, but they need the Broncos to lose too. Obviously, this is a must-win game for Miami, but Aaron Rodgers and the Jets are still trying to put some strong film on tape to secure jobs for next season too. It’s far from the game of the week, but this Dolphins-Jets game could be better than anticipated.
Seattle Seahawks @ Los Angeles Rams – FOX – 4:25 PM ET – Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma
Seattle has already been eliminated from playoff contention, and the Rams have already secured the NFC West Division title. That means the Rams have very little to play for, but they could want to maintain their momentum heading into the playoffs, riding a five-game winning streak.

San Francisco 49ers @ Arizona Cardinals – FOX – 4:25 PM ET – Chris Myers and Mark Schlereth
Brock Purdy won’t be playing, which gives Josh Dobbs another chance to impress ahead of free agency. The Cardinals have taken strides this year, but there’s also plenty of room for improvement. Jonathan Gannon’s job is safe, but the Cardinals could get a convincing win to help boost their outlook ahead of an important offseason to help recruit more star talent.
