Hello, everybody! With the 2026 WNBA regular season finished, we get set to tip off the 2026 WNBA Playoffs presented by Google Pixel on Sunday, September 27, with four first-round contests scheduled throughout the afternoon and evening on ABC, Prime Video, and USA Network.

Jackie Young and the defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces come into postseason play sizzling hot, winning their final seven regular-season matchups. The Minnesota Lynx start the postseason as the No. 1 seed for the second straight season. The Golden State Valkyries won their final regular-season game to capture the No. 2 seed. Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream (No. 4 seed) make the postseason for the fourth consecutive year.

In the following paragraphs, we will break down each of the first-round WNBA playoff series and what to look out for. I hope you enjoy! And good luck to the teams beginning their journey towards the 2026 WNBA Championship 🏆.

⯀ Game 1: (8) New York Liberty at (1) Minnesota Lynx — Sunday, September 27 at 2:00 PM ET/1:00 PM CT on ABC, ESPN App:

The 2026 WNBA Playoffs begin with a rematch of the 2024 WNBA Finals as Breanna Stewart and the New York Liberty (No. 8 seed) visit Olivia Miles and the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx (No. 1 seed) for Game 1 of their best-of-three series on Sunday, September 27 at 2:00 PM ET/1:00 PM CT on ABC & ESPN App.

Tiffany Greene calls play-by-play for Game 1 of the Liberty-Lynx series, alongside analyst Carolyn Peck and reporter Angel Gray.

New York’s 2026 campaign has been defined by highs and lows. New York defeated Minnesota in two of the three regular-season meetings this season. Three-time WNBA champion Breanna Stewart remains one of the league’s top players at age 32. The Liberty have their “Big Three” of Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones. New York is expected to challenge Minnesota in this opening-round series. 

Minnesota has either shared or held the top spot in the WNBA standings since the end of May. The Lynx average 18.2 points off turnovers, which is the best in the WNBA. Rookie Lynx sensation Olivia Miles shined brightly during her first WNBA season. Minnesota received All-Star seasons from Courtney Williams and Natasha Howard. Minnesota did stumble late in the season, going 1-4 over the final five games of the regular season.

⯀ Game 1: (6) Indiana Fever at (3) Las Vegas Aces — Sunday, September 27 at 4:00 PM ET/1:00 PM PT on ABC, ESPN App:

Later in the afternoon, we have a highly anticipated first-round series as A’ja Wilson (No. 3 seed) and the reigning WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces open a series against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever (No. 6 seed) on Sunday, September 27 at 4:00 PM ET/1:00 PM PT on ABC & ESPN App.

The lead WNBA on ESPN team of Ryan Ruocco, Hall of Famer Rebecca Lobo & Holly Rowe will provide commentary for Game 1 of the Fever-Aces series.

Indiana goes up against Las Vegas for the second straight postseason after losing to the Aces in the semifinals during the 2025 playoffs. Indiana enters postseason play with an explosive offense, a record 96 points per game. However, Indiana’s defensive struggles could be exposed during this series, as the Fever gave up 108.3 points per 100 possessions. The Fever went 2-1 vs. the Aces during the regular season, including two wins in July.

Last year, Las Vegas closed out the regular season on a historic run, winning their final 16 regular-season games. That, of course, served as the backdrop for their eventual run to the championship. Aces center A’ja Wilson is having yet another MVP-caliber season for Las Vegas. The Las Vegas star led the league in scoring this season (26.2 points per game). Plus, the Aces’ backcourt of Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young is making things happen for head coach Becky Hammon.

⯀ Game 1: (5) Washington Mystics at (4) Atlanta Dream — Sunday, September 27 at 7:00 PM ET on Prime Video:

Sonia Citron and the Washington Mystics (No. 5 seed) compete in a Sunday night showdown with WNBA steals leader Rhyne Howard and the Atlanta Dream (No. 4 seed) in Game 1 of this best-of-three First Round series on Sunday, September 27 at 7:00 PM ET on Prime Video.

The Mystics began the 2026 WNBA season as the youngest team in the league’s 30-year history, with eight rookies and three second-year players. Give Washington its credit for finding its way to the 2026 WNBA Playoffs as the team continues to build something in the District. Washington added 12 wins to their win total from the previous year (16-28 in 2025 to 28-16 in 2026). Washington appears in the WNBA playoffs for the first time since 2023.

Dream All-Star forward Angel Reese plays in the postseason for the first time after two subpar seasons with the Chicago Sky. Reese is making a strong case for winning Defensive Player of the Year. Atlanta matched their 30-14 regular-season record from last season. Hopefully, Atlanta can advance past the first round in 2026, as the club was knocked out by the Fever in the first round last season. The Dream are led by Reese, WNBA steals leader Rhyne Howard, and Allisha Gray.

⯀ Game 1: (7) Dallas Wings at (2) Golden State Valkyries — Sunday, September 27 at 9:00 PM ET/6:00 PM PT on USA/CNBC:

Jessica Shepard and the Dallas Wings, the No. 7 seed, travel to San Francisco to face Veronica Burton and the Golden State Valkyries, the No. 2 seed, in Game 1 of this best-of-three series on Sunday, September 27 at 9:00 PM ET/6:00 PM PT on USA and CNBC.

Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers assisted in one of the best year-to-year turnarounds in WNBA history, as Dallas nearly tripled their win total from 10 last season to 27 and earned a playoff appearance. 27 wins is a new watermark for this franchise. First-time WNBA All-Star Jessica Shepard averaged 14.5 points for the Wings in her first season with Dallas, after five seasons with the Minnesota Lynx.

The Golden State Valkyries are back in the postseason for the second straight year, having entered the W as an expansion club before the 2025 season. Of course, Golden State is seeking its first-ever playoff series victory. Golden State swept the three-game series between these two teams during the regular season, going 3-0. The Valkyries held the Wings to 75.3 points per game across the three regular-season games. Can Golden State’s defense transfer into postseason situations? Golden State rose from No. 8 in last year’s postseason bracket to No. 2 this year, only behind Minnesota.

Following Sunday’s series openers, the first round will continue through Wednesday, September 30. If Game 3s are needed, they will take place on either Thursday, October 1, or Friday, October 2.

🞹 Singleheader, Early Game Only — Chargers at Bills, Seahawks at Commanders, Jets at Lions, Panthers at Browns — 1:00 PM ET/12:00 PM CT:

Many of you will receive an early afternoon contest, with live coverage beginning at 1:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One. Khalil Mack and the Los Angeles Chargers (0-2) travel to new Highmark Stadium to encounter Dion Dawkins and the Buffalo Bills (2-0). Other Fox early games Sunday include Seahawks vs. Commanders, Jets vs. Lions, and Panthers vs. Browns.

► Chargers (0-2) vs. Bills (2-0) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One:

Tony Jefferson and the Los Angeles Chargers (0-2) visit DJ Moore and the Buffalo Bills (2-0) on Sunday, September 27 at 1:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One.

Kevin Burkhardt calls play-by-play for Chargers-Bills, joined by analyst and seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady. Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi will cover the sidelines. 

Chargers are desperate for a victory after a shocking 0-2 start, following losses to the Cardinals in Week #1 and to the Raiders last week. The Chargers head to Buffalo for the first time since the 2020 COVID-19 season. With one sack on Sunday, Chargers OLB Khalil Mack could get to 115 career sacks. LA’s rushing defense allows a league-best 2.75 yards per carry, more than half a yard better than the closest AFC franchise. Chargers WR Ladd McConkey leads the team in receptions (eight) and receiving yards (117). 

The Bills seek their third consecutive win following last week’s 41-31 win over the Lions on “Thursday Night Football”, behind three touchdown passes by Josh Allen. Last week, Bills RB James Cook (4,451) racked up 135 yards vs. the Lions, surpassing Joe Cribbs (4,445) for the fifth-most career rushing yards in Bills franchise history. Buffalo has scored 77 points through two games. Bills HC Joe Brady begins his first year as Buffalo’s head coach, after Sean McDermott was dismissed following the 2025 season. 

► Seahawks (2-0) vs. Commanders (0-2) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One:

Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks (2-0) confront Rachaad White and the Washington Commanders (0-2) on Sunday, September 27 at 1:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One. The Seahawks crushed the Commanders 38-14 in their last regular-season meeting last November. Seattle, of course, is picking up right where they left off last season. Washington, of course, deals with the aftermath of losing QB Jayden Daniels to a dislocated elbow last week against the Cowboys.

Fox Sports’ Joe Davis (play-by-play) teams up with three-time Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen (analyst) & veteran sideline reporter Pam Oliver (sidelines) for the television broadcast of Seahawks-Commanders this Sunday. 

► Jets (1-1) vs. Lions (1-1) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One:

Breece Hall and the New York Jets (1-1) battle Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Detroit Lions (1-1) on Sunday, September 27 at 1:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One.

Adam Amin (play-by-play), Super Bowl champion Drew Brees (analyst) & Kristina Pink (reporter) announce the AFC vs. NFC matchup from Detroit.

The Jets try to rebound after last week’s 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers. Jets QB Geno Smith went 27-for-41 (65.9%) for 247 yards & a touchdown in Week 2 against the Packers. Jets RB Breece Hall struggled to get going in Week 2, gaining just 29 yards on 16 carries as Green Bay’s defense made a point of limiting the Iowa State alum. The Jets travel to Detroit for the first time since the 2018 season, when they defeated the Lions 48-17 on “Monday Night Football”. Before joining the Jets as head coach in 2025, Jets HC Aaron Glenn and Lions HC Dan Campbell worked together for eight years, first in New Orleans and later in Detroit. 

The Lions also look to get back into the win column after last week’s 41-31 defeat to the Bills. Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown have scored touchdowns in the same game on 22 occasions, the fourth most games by a WR & RB duo since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. Lions EDGE Aidan Hutchinson recorded a sack and forced fumble in Week 2 against the Bills. Lions CB D.J. Reed leads his team in defensive tackles with 16 through two weeks of game action. 

► Panthers (1-1) vs. Browns (0-2) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One:

Denzel Ward and the Cleveland Browns (0-2) host Jaelan Phillips and the Carolina Panthers (1-1) in a Week 3 clash at Huntington Bank Field on Sunday, September 27 at 1:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One.

Chris Myers (play-by-play), three-time Super Bowl champion Mark Schlereth (analyst) & Jen Hale (reporter) will have the Panthers-Browns television call for Fox on Sunday.

The Panthers are riding high after last week’s 34-3 crushing of the Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Last week in Atlanta, Panthers quarterback Bryce Young delivered an outstanding performance, completing 23 of 36 passes for 287 yards and three touchdowns, ultimately achieving a quarterback rating of 116.3. The Panthers lead the all-time series 4-3 and are 2-2 when playing in Cleveland. Carolina seeks their first 2-1 start since the 2021 campaign. Panthers LB Devin Lloyd became the fifth linebacker since 1982 to record a sack and two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown) in the same game.

The Browns try to build a winning streak after last week’s second-half comeback in Tampa, winning 23-19 (after trailing 16-6 at halftime). Cleveland hasn’t permitted a 300-yard passer in 47 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the league. In Week #2, Browns WR Denzel Boston (rookie) caught 5 passes for 95 yards, including a 55-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Browns DT Mason Graham has one sack in each of the first two games of the season. Browns LB Carson Schwesinger leads the team with 20 tackles this season.

🞹 Singleheader, Late Game Only — Vikings at Buccaneers, Cardinals at 49ers — 4:05 PM ET/3:05 PM CT:

For those of you scheduled to receive late-game-only coverage, game coverage begins at 4:00 PM ET (with a 4:05 PM ET kickoff) on Fox & Fox One. Dallas Turner and the Minnesota Vikings (2-0) match up with Chris Godwin Jr. and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-2), or Kendrick Bourne and the Arizona Cardinals (1-1) go up against Fred Warner and the San Francisco 49ers (2-0).

► Vikings (2-0) vs. Buccaneers (0-2) — Sunday, 4:05 PM ET on Fox & Fox One:

Kyler Murray and the Minnesota Vikings (2-0) try to stay perfect when they take on Antoine Winfield Jr. and the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-2) on Sunday, September 27 at 4:05 PM ET on Fox & Fox One.

Sunday’s Vikings-Buccaneers game will be called by Kenny Albert (play-by-play), Super Bowl champion Jonathan Vilma (analyst) & Megan Olivi (reporter).

Minnesota enters Week 3 undefeated following wins over the Packers in Week #1 (39-22) and Bears in Week #2 (9-3). Minnesota is the NFC North leader going into Week #3, up one game on the Bears (1-1) and Lions (1-1). Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. rushed for 105 yards on 23 carries last week against the Bears. Vikings WR Justin Jefferson led Minnesota’s receiving unit in yards last week with 55 against Chicago. Vikings LB Dallas Turner leads Minnesota with three sacks this season. Vikings CB Byron Murphy registered seven tackles, an interception, and two pass defensed in Week 2 vs. the Bears.

Tampa Bay is in a troubling situation after losses to the Bengals (33-27) and Browns (23-19) to start the season. Despite the Week 2 loss, Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield threw his first touchdown pass of the season. The Buccaneers blew a ten-point second-half lead to drop the matchup vs. the Browns. Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving rushed 17 times for 89 yards last week, averaging 5.2 yards per carry. Buccaneers LB Josiah Trotter led the team with 11 tackles in Week 2 vs. the Browns.

► Cardinals (1-1) vs. 49ers (2-0) — Sunday, 4:05 PM ET (1:05 PM PT) on Fox & Fox One:

A pair of NFC West foes go head-to-head in Week #3 as Christian McCaffrey and the undefeated San Francisco 49ers (2-0) host Kendrick Bourne and the visiting Arizona Cardinals (1-1) on Sunday, September 27 at 4:05 PM ET (1:05 PM PT) on Fox & Fox One.

Television coverage for Cardinals-49ers will be handled by Kevin Kugler (play-by-play), three-time Super Bowl champion Daryl “Moose” Johnston (analyst) & Allison Williams (field reporter).

After a stunning Week 1 win in Inglewood, the Cardinals crashed back down to Earth with a 31-7 blowout loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks last week. Arizona faces a team that made the 2025 postseason for the third consecutive week (Chargers, Seahawks, and 49ers). Cardinals S Budda Baker finished last week’s game vs. the Seahawks with a game-high 11 tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss, and a pass defensed. Cardinals TE Trey McBride enters Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers with at least 5 receptions in each of the last 11 road games.

The San Francisco 49ers are undefeated through two weeks, with a 27-7 win over the Rams in Australia followed by a 35-13 dismantling of the Dolphins last week at Levi’s Stadium. 49ers QB Brock Purdy went 20-for-22 for 287 yards and two passing touchdowns last week vs. the Dolphins. 49ers LB Fred Warner contributed to last week’s win over Miami with 5 tackles. Sunday’s marks the 70th game between these two teams, with the 49ers leading the all-time series over the Cardinals, 38-31. San Francisco seeks a 3-0 start for the fourth time since the 2019 season.

Let’s preview this Sunday’s NFL on CBS doubleheader slate (view below 👇):

NFL on CBS — 2026 NFL Regular Season | Week #3 (CBS Doubleheader) — Sunday, September 27, 2026 — Schedule Preview:

🞹 Pregame | The NFL Today presented by Jeep — 12:00 PM ET on CBS & Paramount+:

On Sunday, make sure you tune in to “The NFL Today presented by Jeep,” a one-hour pregame show previewing the upcoming football action, at 12:00 PM ET/11:00 AM CT, live on CBS and Paramount+.

Veteran host James Brown anchors the program, joined by Hall of Fame head coach Bill Cowher and 11-year NFL veteran Nate Burleson. This season, the program welcomes two new analysts — Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson and former NFL offensive lineman Kyle Long. “The NFL Today” will feature highlights, analysis, feature stories, predictions, interviews, and the latest information from around the league.

🞹 Doubleheader, Game #1 | Bengals-Steelers, Chiefs-Dolphins, Titans-Giants, Patriots-Jaguars, Texans-Colts — 1:00 PM ET/12:00 PM CT on CBS & Paramount+:

Kick off your Sunday doubleheader on CBS Sports at 1:00 PM ET, following The NFL Today pregame show. Most of the country will see an AFC North duel take place, as Ja’Marr Chase and the Cincinnati Bengals (2-0) tussle with Rico Dowdle and the Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1). Other early games on CBS Sunday include Chiefs-Dolphins, Titans-Giants, Patriots-Jaguars, and Texans-Colts.

► Bengals (2-0) vs. Steelers (1-1) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET on CBS & Paramount+:

AFC North rivals meet in Week 3 at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh as Ja’Marr Chase and the Cincinnati Bengals (2-0) play Alex Highsmith and the Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) on Sunday, September 27 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+. The clubs are facing off for the first time this season, with the teams splitting a pair of matchups during the 2025 regular season.

Broadcasts for Bengals-Steelers include Ian Eagle (play-by-play), Ross Tucker (analyst) & Evan Washburn (reporter).

Last week, the Bengals defeated the Texans 20-6 in Houston. Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase caught two touchdown passes in the victory. Bengals DT Jonathan Allen got himself a sack for the second straight week in Week 2 (along with three tackles for loss). Bengals QB Joe Burrow went 20-for-31 for 207 yards and 2 TD’s, helping Cincinnati’s offense against a tough Texans defense during Week 2. Bengals WR Tee Higgins racked up 95 receiving yards in the Week 2 victory in Houston.

The Steelers were grounded last week, getting blown out 20-3 by the Patriots in New England. The Steelers forced two turnovers against the Patriots last week. Week 2 marked the 32nd all-time regular season meeting between New England & Pittsburgh. Steelers LB T.J. Watt (118.5) and DT Cameron Heyward (92) rank first and second in Steelers franchise history in sacks. Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers tossed for 187 yards in the Week 2 defeat at New England.

► Chiefs (2-0) vs. Dolphins (0-2) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET on CBS & Paramount+:

Patrick Mahomes and undefeated Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) face Malik Washington and the Miami Dolphins (0-2) on Sunday, September 27 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+. Kansas City seeks its fifth consecutive regular season victory over Miami in Sunday’s game. 

This week’s Chiefs-Dolphins broadcast team on CBS consists of play-by-play announcer Kevin Harlan, analyst and former NFL quarterback Trent Green, and sideline reporter Melanie Collins.

The Chiefs survived an OT scare from the Colts last week, winning 33-30 on “Sunday Night Football”. Kansas City enters Week 3 tied for the lead in the AFC West, alongside the Las Vegas Raiders (2-0). Two standout performances to note from last week on the Chiefs’ side — RB Kenneth Walker III and TE Travis Kelce. Walker III rushed 24 times for 117 yards, plus added six receptions for 61 yards as a receiver. The 36-year-old Kelce turned the clock back last week, hauling in eight passes for 101 yards and scoring a receiving touchdown. Plus, Patrick Mahomes is BACK! 

The Dolphins prepare for their home opener after opening losses in Las Vegas and Santa Clara. In Week 2, the Dolphins were smoked 35-13 by the 49ers on the road. Dolphins RB De’Von Achane picked up 93 scrimmage yards (74 rushing, 19 receiving) against the 49ers in Week 2 action. Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks can play in his 100th career game this weekend at Hard Rock Stadium. Dolphins WR Ryan Miller set a career high, catching a 77-yard receiving touchdown pass last week against the 49ers. 

► Titans (0-2) vs. Giants (1-1) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET on CBS & Paramount+:

Cam Ward and the winless Tennessee Titans (0-2) visit Cam Skattebo and the New York Giants (1-1) in this Week 3 AFC vs. NFC game from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday, September 27 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+. The last meeting between the Titans and the Giants was in 2022, when the Titans clipped the Giants 21-20.

CBS Sports’ Andrew Catalon (play-by-play), two-time Super Bowl champion Logan Ryan (analyst) & AJ Ross (field reporter) will call Titans-Giants from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

► Patriots (1-1) vs. Jaguars (1-1) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET on CBS & Paramount+:

Elijah Ponder and the New England Patriots (1-1) square off against Parker Washington and the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-1) on Sunday, September 27 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+. Jacksonville heads into the matchup following a disappointing 20-13 loss to the Broncos in Week #2. In contrast, New England arrives with momentum after a commanding 20-3 victory over Pittsburgh in Week #2. Notably, the Jaguars emerged victorious in their most recent encounter with the Patriots, securing a 32-16 win in October 2024.

Sunday’s Patriots-Jaguars game can be seen on CBS, with Spero Dedes (play-by-play), Adam Archuleta (analyst) & Aditi Kinkhabwala (reporter).

Last week, the Patriots demolished the Steelers 20-3 at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots play their second road game of the season this upcoming weekend. Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson ran for 16 yards on 16 carries and a touchdown last week vs. the Steelers. Patriots CB Charles Woods picked up a career-high 10 tackles in last week’s game vs. the Steelers. New England picked up their 600th win in franchise history in Week 2 against Pittsburgh. New England travels to Jacksonville for the first time since 2018. 

In Week #2, Jacksonville dropped a game to the Broncos, 20-13. Jacksonville comes home for a Week 3 showdown with the Patriots. Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence went 17-for-29 for 189 yards and threw no touchdowns last week against the Broncos. Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten provided a nice spark to Jacksonville’s ground game last week, averaging five yards per tote (13 attempts, 65 yards, and a rushing TD). With Jaguars CB Jourdan Lewis’ interception last week, Jacksonville now has seven consecutive games with at least one interception.

► Texans (0-2) vs. Colts (0-2) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET on CBS & Paramount+:

Will Anderson Jr. and the winless Houston Texans (0-2) visit Josh Downs and the Indianapolis Colts (0-2) in a Week 3 AFC South matchup on Sunday, September 27 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS & Paramount+. The Colts will lean on RB Jonathan Taylor to finally get a win, while Houston tries to defeat Indianapolis for the sixth consecutive time in regular-season play.

CBS will televise Sunday’s Texans-Colts game, with Tom McCarthy (play-by-play), Super Bowl champion Robert Turbin (analyst) & Tiffany Blackmon (sideline reporter) calling the action.

The Texans are coming off a 20-6 loss to the Bengals in Week #2. Following two consecutive home games (Buffalo and Cincinnati), Houston hits the road for the first time this regular season. Texans QB CJ Stroud went 30-for-55 for 353 yards last week vs. the Bengals. Unfortunately, Stroud was sacked times during that contest. Texans TE Dalton Schultz caught 12 passes for 140 yards last week. Texans HC DeMeco Ryans is 14-4 vs. the AFC South since his arrival in Houston in 2023. With one tackle for loss, Texans CB Kamari Lassiter will become the third cornerback in Texans history to start a year with a tackle for loss in three consecutive games.

The Colts were clipped 33-30 by the Chiefs on “Sunday Night Football” last week. A step in the right direction after getting dominated by the Ravens in Week 1. Colts RB Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 24 times for 92 yards last week and scored two touchdowns. Colts S Camryn Bynum recorded nine tackles in Week 2. Since 2025, the Colts rank sixth in the NFL in fewest sacks allowed (31). Colts TE Tyler Warren found the zone in last week’s matchup vs. the Chiefs. 

🞹 Doubleheader, Game #2 | Ravens-Cowboys (Rio de Janeiro), Raiders-Saints — 4:25 PM ET/3:25 PM CT on CBS & Paramount+:

The Sunday doubleheader continues at 4:25 PM ET on CBS & Paramount+, with most of the country receiving Ravens (1-1) vs. Cowboys (1-1) from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and select audiences watching the Raiders-Saints contest from New Orleans.

► 🇧🇷 Ravens (1-1) vs. Cowboys (1-1) (Rio de Janeiro) — Sunday, 4:25 PM ET (3:25 PM CT) on CBS & Paramount+:

Kyle Hamilton and the Baltimore Ravens (1-1) oppose George Pickens and the Dallas Cowboys (1-1) from Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in a neutral-site Week #3 matchup on Sunday, September 27 at 4:25 PM ET/5:25 PM BRT on CBS & Paramount+. These teams last met in 2024 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, where the Ravens narrowly edged the Cowboys 28-25.

Calling Sunday’s Ravens-Cowboys International Series game from Brazil will be Jim Nantz (play-by-play), three-time Defensive Player of the Year winner JJ Watt (analyst) & Tracy Wolfson (field reporter).

► Raiders (2-0) vs. Saints (1-1) — Sunday, 4:25 PM ET (3:25 PM CT) on CBS & Paramount+:

Ashton Jeanty and the undefeated Las Vegas Raiders (2-0) battle Chase Young and the New Orleans Saints (1-1) on Sunday, September 27 at 4:25 PM ET/3:25 PM CT on CBS & Paramount+. Both teams are coming off Week 2 victories.

Sunday’s Raiders-Saints game will be televised regionally on CBS, with Chris Lewis (play-by-play), Hall of Famer Luke Kuechly (analyst) & Amanda Balionis (reporter) on the call.

The Raiders are fresh off a 26-14 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Surprisingly, Las Vegas is off to a 2-0 start and is tied with the Chiefs for first place in the AFC West following the first two weeks of the season. Raiders CB Hezekiah Masses has been targeted seven times this year and has allowed only two catches for 16 yards, two interceptions, three passes defensed, and a 0.0 passer rating. The Raiders’ defense is allowing a 63.2 passer rating to opposing quarterbacks, the second-best mark in the NFL.

Behind a second-half comeback, the Saints defeated the Ravens 24-17 last week in Baltimore. Now, the Saints will come home to start a three-game homestand with Sunday’s game vs. Las Vegas at Caesars Superdome. Saints WR Chris Olave had eight receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 versus the Ravens. Saints LB Pete Werner totaled 11 tackles (8 solo) in last week’s win over the Ravens.

MLB on Fox: On Deck — Fox says goodbye to 2026 Major League Baseball regular season with one final edition of "Baseball Night in America" this Saturday, September 26 | Orioles-Yankees or Rays-Phillies | Saturday at 7:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One

| ⏵ Tuesday, September 22, 2026 (Press Release)

🟄 Highlights:

• Season #3 of MLB on Fox: On Deck sadly 😢 comes to an end with the publication of the final article of the season.

• Fox wraps up their 31st MLB season with the final edition of “Baseball Night in America” for 2026, with a pair of regionalized broadcasts on Saturday, September 26 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox and Fox One.

• The final push for the playoffs will be the primary headline as the Rays take on the Phillies in Philadelphia.

• Orioles, Yankees Finish Regular Season Inside the Division: Pete Alonso and the Baltimore Orioles, holding on to slim playoff hopes, visit Spencer Jones and the playoff-bound New York Yankees on Saturday, September 26 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One.

• 2008 World Series Rematch in Philly (Rays-Phillies): In a rematch of the 2008 World Series, Junior Caminero and the Tampa Bay Rays battle Bryce Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies, trying to lock up a Wild Card berth, on Saturday, September 26 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One.

Welcome to the final week of the 2026 MLB regular season! So much is still on the line as the last few regular season games are played. This week, Fox airs the season finale of “Baseball Night in America,” its signature weekly MLB primetime series, on Saturday, September 26 at 7:00 PM ET. Everyone will watch the Rays visit the Phillies from Philadelphia. Which game is scheduled to air in your local market and which broadcast team will provide commentary? Read on for the final time for this 2026 MLB regular season.

NOTE: Due to the Nor’Easter slated to hit the East Coast this weekend, Saturday’s Orioles-Yankees game will now be played Friday afternoon at 4:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One.

For more information about Saturday’s MLB on Fox offerings, please read the game summaries posted below.

⮞ Orioles vs. Yankees — Saturday, 7:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One:

An American League East battle on the final weekend of the regular season as George Lombard Jr. and the New York Yankees host Gunnar Henderson and the Baltimore Orioles in the second game of a three-game series on Saturday, September 26 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand and the Orioles need an absolute miracle to have any hope of making the postseason whatsoever, as they trail the White Sox by 4.5 GB with just five games left.

New York will be playing postseason baseball for the third consecutive year in 2026. However, the Yankees were dealt tough news when their star right fielder, Aaron Judge, returned to the injured list with a right calf strain last week. Of course, the three-time AL MVP recently returned from a rib injury that sidelined him for the majority of the season. The Yankees’ AL East chances are all but shot, with the Yankees basically locked into a Wild Card position for all intents and purposes. 

⮞ Rays vs. Phillies — Saturday, 7:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One:

Victor Mesa Jr. and the Tampa Bay Rays tangle with Justin Crawford and the Philadelphia Phillies in the middle game of this weekend set between the 2008 World Series participants on Saturday, September 26 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One.

Fox Sports' Wayne Randazzo (play-by-play), Hall of Famer John Smoltz (analyst) & Ken Rosenthal (reporter) will call Rays-Phillies from Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Tampa Bay has already clinched their first playoff berth since 2023, but they need just one win over their final six to claim their first AL East title since 2021. Impressively, the Rays finished their 2026 regular season with a 55-26 home record at Tropicana Field, their home venue for basically their entire 29-season existence (sans 2025 when they played at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa). Of course, the Rays are led by the 23-year-old star Junior Caminero, who has put together an excellent regular season, hitting 41 home runs and driving in 97 runs.

The Phillies are expected to make the postseason for the fifth consecutive year. Still, they will do so as a Wild Card club for the first time since 2023, as the Atlanta Braves halted Philadelphia’s two-season NL East streak when Atlanta clinched the NL East on Sunday down in Houston. Following a 9-18 start, they fired manager Rob Thomson and replaced him with Don Mattingly. Things have gone well for the most part, but the Phillies have struggled in September, going 8-10 (including 3-4 vs. the Braves).

Before we move ahead with Saturday’s broadcast schedule and distribution, thank you very much for reading MLB on Fox: On Deck articles throughout the year. Sadly 😢, this is the final article for the year. Appreciate y’all for reading, commenting, and following along. I will be publishing articles during the upcoming MLB Postseason. See you again in 2027 (assuming there is an MLB season next year).
