The 2023 NFL season is underway with football fans tuning in every Thursday, Sunday and Monday to watch some of their favorite teams. While NFL Sunday Ticket is gaining popularity, the Week 7 NFL coverage map is a guide that 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 being played in your area. The NFL broadcast map changes each week and we’ll provide you with updates throughout the season.

Week 7 NFL TV map: CBS Early games on Sunday
| Color | Matchup | Channel | Time | Broadcasters |
| BLUE | Commanders @ Giants | CBS | 1:00 PM ET | Andrew Catalon, Tiki Barber, Matt Ryan |
| GREEN | Browns @ Colts | CBS | 1:00 PM ET | Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta |
| RED | Bills @ Patriots | CBS | 1:00 PM ET | Ian Eagle, Charles Davis |
Washington Commanders vs New York Giants – CBS – 1:00 PM ET
There’s no question who the best teams in the NFC East are, but there might be some debate about the worst team in the division. The New York Giants, missing five starters, took the Buffalo Bills to the wire in Week 6. Meanwhile, the Washington Commanders are narrowly escaping with wins over mediocre teams. Neither squad looks like a playoff contender right now, but the loser on Sunday should be a definitive seller at the NFL trade deadline.

Buffalo Bills vs New England Patriots – CBS – 1:00 PM ET
Coming off a relatively poor performance by the Buffalo Bills’ offense a week ago, Sunday afternoon provides a get-right game for Josh Allen and Co. The New England Patriots defense has been decimated by injuries and its offense is arguably the worst in football. Buffalo has put a hurting on its division rival in some recent matchups and that’s our expectation for Week 7.

Cleveland Browns vs Indianapolis Colts – CBS – 1:00 PM ET
The Cleveland Browns are filled with confidence as they take the field on Sunday after stunning the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6. With the Indianapolis Colts starting Gardner Minshew and the Colts’ offensive line struggling, the best defense in football should tee off with another masterful performance. What we’ll be keeping an eye on is if a Browns’ offense that hasn’t been impressive this year, starts finding a rhythm and delivers more explosive plays against an inexperienced and injured Colts’ defense.

Week 7 NFL TV map: CBS late games on Sunday
| Color | Matchup | Channel | Time | Broadcasters |
| RED | Chargers @ Chiefs | CBS | 4:25 PM ET | Jim Nantz, Tony Romo |
| BLUE | Packers @ Broncos | CBS | 4:25 PM ET | Kevin Harlan, Trent Green |
Los Angeles Chargers vs Kansas City Chiefs – CBS – 4:25 PM ET – Jim Nantz and Tony Romo
At the start of the season, a matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers vs Kansas City Chiefs might’ve been ripe for primetime television. Instead, with Los Angeles struggling, it’s the Chargers vs Chiefs on CBS. With Jim Nantz and Tony Romo in the booth, the Chargers find themselves in a desperate position as they’re already two games back of Kansas City. With the Cheifs heavily favored, this could be the game that essentially ends the AFC West race before October even concludes.

Green Bay Packers vs Denver Broncos – CBS – 4:25 PM ET – Kevin Harlan and Trent Green
Neither the Green Bay Packers nor the Denver Broncos are where they expected to be right now. With the NFL trade deadline fast approaching, Sean Payton’s Broncos are shaping up toe be one of the biggest sellers. Meanwhile, Green Bay is just looking for some semblance of life from a struggling offense. While the Packers aren’t playing clean football right now, especially Jordan Love, facing the worst defense in the NFL offers a get-right game for Green Bay.
Week 7 NFL broadcast map: FOX games on Sunday
| Color | Matchup | Channel | Time | Broadcasters |
| RED | Lions @ Ravens | FOX | 1:00 PM ET | Kevin Burkhardt, Greg Olsen |
| YELLOW | Falcons @ Buccaneers | FOX | 1:00 PM ET | Chris Myers, Mark Schlereth |
| GREEN | Raiders @ Bears | FOX | 1:00 PM ET | Kevin Kugler, Mark Sanchez |
| BLUE | Steelers @ Rams | FOX | 4:05 PM ET | Adam Amin, Daryl Johnston |
| ORANGE | Cardinals @ Seahawks | FOX | 4:05 PM ET | Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilma |
Detroit Lions vs Baltimore Ravens – FOX – 1:00 PM ET
One of the best games in NFL Week 7 is easily the Detroit Lions vs Baltimore Ravens. While the Ravens are at home, Detroit looks like the best team in football right now and it gets Jahmyr Gibbs back on Sunday. It’s worth noting that Jared Goff’s splits are worse on the road versus playing at home, but Detroit matches up very well with Baltimore. For the Ravens to win, a team that makes a lot of mistakes must play clean football and avoid costly drops and penalties.
Atlanta Falcons vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers – FOX – 1:00 PM ET
An NFC South battle between the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers might not be for everyone, but it should be a competitive game. With the New Orleans Saints losing on Thursday, the winner of the Falcons vs Buccaneers matchup will sit atop the division and should be viewed as the favorite moving forward. Considering winning the NFC South comes with a Wild Card game at home, that’s huge for either club.

Las Vegas Raiders vs Chicago Bears – FOX – 1:00 PM ET
Passionate Las Vegas Raiders and Chicago Bears fans will watch this game. Outside of that, the audience for Raiders vs Bears will be small. Both teams are starting inexperienced backup quarterbacks and they also have two of the worst defenses in the NFL. If there’s another game on your NFL TV map, we highly recommend it.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Los Angeles Rams – FOX – 4:05 PM ET
The Los Angeles Rams have been a pleasant surprise this season. In a year where many expected Los Angeles to tank for Caleb Williams, it finds itself in the mix for one of the NFC’s Wild Card spots. While the Pittsburgh Steelers are healthier now than in recent weeks and coming off the bye, Pittsburgh’s defense likely will struggle vs Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, creating a path for a Rams’ victory.

Arizona Cardinals vs Seattle Seahawks – FOX – 4:05 PM ET
Coming off a heartbreaking loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Seattle Seahawks now have an opportunity to take advantage of a rebuilding team. The Arizona Cardinals have one of the NFL’s worst pass defenses and that’s exactly what Geno Smith, Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf need to get going.
