Which Game Is On in Your Market
Because CBS has the doubleheader, most markets get a CBS late game at 4:25 PM ET, with the two CBS games split by region. FOX is single-header this week, so its lone 4:05 PM ET game airs only in a limited set of markets and most FOX markets have no late game. Exact market maps are finalized during game week, so use the regions below as the expected split.
| Late game | Network | Where it airs (expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Chargers at Chiefs | CBS | The featured CBS late game, seen across most of the country, including Kansas City and much of the Midwest |
| Bills at Raiders | CBS | Western New York and Buffalo, Las Vegas and Nevada, and scattered secondary markets |
| Cardinals at Rams | FOX | The lone FOX late game at 4:05 PM ET, airing mainly in Los Angeles and Southern California and across Arizona |
