NFL on CBS is home to Sunday football action every week throughout the NFL regular season, so we've got everything die-hard football fans need to know so they can tune in for all the action.
CBS is just one of the networks that covers the NFL, with NFL on Fox, NBC's Sunday Night Football, ESPN's Monday Night Football and Prime Video's Thursday Night Football carrying games. CBS is the primary home for AFC-centric games, but just about every team will play on CBS throughout the course of the season.
Here is everything that you need to know about how to watch the NFL on CBS.
How to watch the NFL on CBS
CBS is one of the four major US TV networks and as such it is required to be carried on all traditional pay-TV cable subscription packages, meaning if you still pay for cable TV, then you automatically have access to your local CBS station. Local CBS stations can also be received for free by those who use a TV antenna.
If you’ve cut the cord on traditional pay-TV services and have opted for a live TV streaming service, most of them include CBS as part of their standard channel lineup, like Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream.
There is also a pure streaming option for watching NFL on CBS games — Paramount Plus. US subscribers can watch the NFL on Paramount Plus. The ad-free version of the streaming service allows for live streaming of local CBS stations, as does the ad-supported, but only for sporting events like NFL games on CBS.
Another option to stream your local CBS game is to sign up for NFL Plus. This streaming service provides live streams of games available in your area, but only through your mobile phone or tablet.
If UK football fans are wondering where they can watch NFL games — since they don’t have CBS or the other US networks — they do have a couple of options. NFL games are shown in the UK on ITV, Sky TV and the NFL Game Pass subscription service.

Best NFL game on CBS this week
CBS has a great lineup of games in week 11, including the first game of the year between the AFC North's two top teams, the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, but without question the biggest game is the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs facing the Buffalo Bills, renewing a rivalry that has seen its shared of memorable games in recent years.
The Chiefs are unblemished more at 9-0, but many the games have been close calls, including last week when they won on a blocked field goal as the clock expired. While statistically the Chiefs are a top 10 total offense right now, they don't look like they're usually dynamic selves, as Patrick Mahomes has struggled to push the ball down field and with turnovers. However, Mahomes hasn't thrown an interception in the last two games, he's got budding chemistry with wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and Travis Kelce is starting to round into form; can that continue against a middling Bills pass defense? Or will the Chiefs defense, fourth in yards per game allowed, third in rush defense and tied for fifth in points allowed, have to step up and lead the way?
For Buffalo, quarterback Josh Allen has been playing at a level that has him in the conversation for MVP. He may need an MVP performance with receiving targets Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid already ruled out and Amari Cooper questionable heading into the weekend; though emerging weapon James Cook hopes to be a big help in this game. Defensively, the Bills are getting healthier, but have had their struggles this season and are still going to be without starting linebacker Matt Milano. The Bills have won six games in a row themselves, but if they want to have any chance of home field advantage in the playoffs should they face Kansas City again, a win here is likely crucial.
