New Orleans Saints fans can kick back and relax on Sunday — their team is on bye in Week 11. But there are few television markets as football-mad as New Orleans, and they’ll be tuning in for the upcoming slate of games.
But what options will be available to them? With a big assist from 506 Sports, we’ve highlighted the games being broadcast locally in the Saints’ home market this week. Tap in:
CBS early afternoon
Most of the Saints’ home market will catch the Pittsburgh Steelers-Cleveland Browns game on CBS at Noon CT/1 p.m. ET.
CBS late afternoon
Unfortunately, Saints fans will be subjected to the New York Jets-Buffalo Bills matchup as “America’s Game of the Week” with kickoff scheduled for 3:25 p.m. CT/4:25 p.m. ET.
FOX Single
There’s just one game on FOX in the New Orleans market this week: the Dallas Cowboys-Carolina Panthers game, featuring two of the Saints’ noted rivals. Carolina is in for a long afternoon against a playoff contender.
Sunday Night Football (national broadcast)
All of America will be watching Sunday night’s game between the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings, featuring ex-Saints head coach Sean Payton and a Vikings team that dismantled New Orleans just one week ago. We’re guessing a lot of Saints fans will be hate-watching and hoping for a Broncos loss to improve the draft picks coming back to New Orleans in 2024.
Monday Night Football (national broadcast)
And Week 11’s schedule wraps up on Monday night with a stellar matchup pitting the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs together in a Super Bowl rematch. These are two titans with high hopes of returning to the title game. Hopefully the Saints can return to competing on their level someday soon.
