League Division Series Game 1 Previews — Saturday:

🔘 ► (AL #6) Chicago White Sox vs. (AL #2) Cleveland Guardians — ALDS, Game #1 — Saturday, 1:00 PM ET on TBS:

The Division Series begins in Cleveland, as Chase Meidroth and the Chicago White Sox (No. 6 seed) visit seven-time MLB All-Star José Ramírez and the Cleveland Guardians (No. 2 seed) in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Saturday, October 3 at 1:00 PM ET on TBS. This is the first postseason meeting between these two teams.

Alex Faust (play-by-play) provides commentary for the White Sox-Guardians series, alongside 1986 World Series champion Ron Darling (analyst) and sideline reporting from Lauren Jbara (field reporter).

The White Sox clipped the Guardians in the season series, 7-6. Six of these games were determined by one single run, and a couple of them required extra innings to decide a winner. Cleveland picked up four wins in nail-biters. Typically, home runs are something good in postseason play. The White Sox hit 211 home runs (5th in MLB), while Cleveland smashed 162 (27th in MLB). Cleveland acquired Jo Adell and Nathaniel Lowe at the trade deadline this year. Cleveland has an edge on the mound, with Parker Messick as the Game 1 starter and Gavin Williams getting the Game 2 nod.

🔘 ► (NL #3) Atlanta Braves vs. (NL #2) Los Angeles Dodgers — NLDS, Game #1 — Saturday, 4:00 PM ET (1:00 PM PT) on Fox & Fox One:

The National League Division Series begins on Saturday afternoon (October 3), when Ozzie Albies and the NL East champion Atlanta Braves (No. 3 seed) take on Mookie Betts and the defending two-time World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers (No. 2 seed) at 4:00 PM ET on Fox and Fox One. These teams meet for the first time since the 2021 National League Championship Series.

Joe Davis (play-by-play), Hall of Famer John Smoltz (analyst), & Ken Rosenthal (field reporter) will hold announcing duties for the Braves-Dodgers series.

🔘 ► (AL #4) New York Yankees vs. (AL #1) Tampa Bay Rays — ALDS, Game #1 — Saturday, 6:30 PM ET on TBS:

In primetime, Ben Rice and the New York Yankees (No. 4 seed) battle Jorge Mateo, Junior Caminero and the top-seeded Tampa Bay Rays (No. 1 seed) in Game 1 of the best-of-five Division Series on Saturday, October 3 at 6:30 PM ET on TBS. This is the second playoff meeting between the Yankees and Rays, with Tampa Bay toppling New York during the 2020 COVID-19 run towards the World Series (American League Division Series).

Brian Anderson (play-by-play), Jeff Francoeur (analyst) & Lauren Shehadi (reporter) will have the call throughout TBS’s coverage of the Yankees-Rays ALDS.

Tampa Bay won seven of 13 regular-season meetings between the clubs in 2026. Tampa Bay took the first four meetings before the Yankees showed up down the stretch. The Yankees took four of the final five head-to-head showdowns. The starting pitcher role is a key for this AL East matchup. The Rays have Freddy Peralta, Nick Martinez, and Drew Rasmussen. The Yankees have Cam Schlittler, Max Fried, Gerrit Cole, and Carlos Rodón. With the Yankees likely to start the 24-year-old star in Game 2, can Tampa Bay take Game 1 behind Rasmussen and make a statement in this ALDS?

🔘 ► (NL #4) San Diego Padres vs. (NL #1) Milwaukee Brewers — NLDS, Game #1 — Saturday, 8:30 PM ET (7:30 PM CT) on FS1 & Fox One:

To wrap up the Division Series Saturday lineup, Fernando Tatís Jr., Manny Machado and the high-octane San Diego Padres (No. 4 seed) get ready to match up with 2021 World Series champion, three-time MLB All-Star William Contreras and the top-seeded Milwaukee Brewers (No. 1 seed) on Saturday, October 3 at 8:30 PM ET/7:30 PM CT on FS1 & Fox One. For the first time ever, San Diego and Milwaukee collide in a postseason setting with a National League Championship Series berth on the line.

Adam Amin (play-by-play), World Series champion Adam Wainwright (analyst), fellow World Series champion AJ Pierzynski (analyst), & Emmy Award winner Tom Verducci (field reporter) will be on the microphone throughout the Padres-Brewers NLCS.

The Padres went 4-2 against the Brewers during the regular season. Milwaukee took the series vs. San Diego in May up in Milwaukee, followed by a San Diego sweep over Milwaukee at Petco Park in August. Pitching and scoring first will be the primary highlights ahead of this series. The Brewers have the electric NL Cy Young candidate Jacob Misiorowski, followed by a great No. 2 in Logan Henderson. The Brewers possess a wonderful bullpen, matched by the Padres’ depth and versatility, led by one of the best closers in the game, Mason Miller.

Games will turn late early, and whichever team scores first in these Division Series games will likely go a long way in deciding a game winner (and eventually, a series winner). Led by two-time Gold Glove winner Fernando Tatis Jr., San Diego found their offensive mojo in the last month and swept past the Cubs in the Wild Card Series. Milwaukee’s lineup is solid, too. The team that consistently scores first might find themselves in the National League Championship Series.

Following the openers of the Division Series, live coverage of the Division Series continues every day through at least Wednesday, October 7. If additional games are needed beyond three, they will be played between Thursday, October 8 and Saturday, October 10.

2026 WNBA Playoffs presented by Google Pixel | Semifinals Schedule and Broadcasters (October 4 - October 14, 2026)

A slider showcasing the teams & players involved in the 2026 WNBA Playoffs, presented by Google Pixel. (YouTube)

| ⏵ Wednesday, September 30, 2026 (Press Release):

🟄 Highlights:

• The 2026 WNBA Playoffs presented by Google Pixel continue this Sunday (October 4) with the start of the Liberty/Dream and Aces/Valkyries semifinal series.

• ESPN will exclusively televise the Liberty-Dream series, while NBC Sports will have exclusive rights to broadcast the Aces-Valkyries series.

• Semifinal winners will then meet in the WNBA Finals, which begins on Saturday, October 17.

• Semifinals — Liberty vs. Dream: Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream face Jonquel Jones and the New York Liberty, with a trip to the WNBA Finals on the line.

• Semifinals — Valkyries vs. Aces: Gabby Williams and the Golden State Valkyries, in their first-ever semifinals appearance, play four-time MVP A’ja Wilson and the defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces, as these two clubs compete for a WNBA Finals spot.

Following the first round of the WNBA playoffs, the semifinals portion of the postseason schedule begins with two games on Sunday, October 4, with Liberty vs. Dream Game 1 at 2:00 PM ET on ABC and the ESPN App, followed by Aces vs. Valkyries Game 1 at 4:00 PM ET on NBC and Peacock.

These semifinals feature the New York Liberty, one of the WNBA’s original teams, and the Golden State Valkyries, in just their second season in the WNBA. 

The Las Vegas Aces have won three of the last four WNBA championships and are in the WNBA semifinals for the eighth consecutive season. The Atlanta Dream are in their first WNBA semifinals since 2018, and Atlanta is still looking for their first-ever WNBA championship. 

Two WNBA legends — A’ja Wilson (Las Vegas) and Breanna Stewart (New York) — each have three WNBA championships and can add to their collections this year. Golden State and Atlanta don’t have WNBA icons (at least not yet), but do have home courts in these best-of-five series.

Let’s talk about the two semifinal series that are scheduled to begin on Sunday afternoon 👇:

🔘 ⬦ (8) New York Liberty vs. (4) Atlanta Dream — Semifinals, Game 1 — Sunday, 2:00 PM ET on ABC & ESPN App:

Sabrina Ionescu and the New York Liberty (No. 8 seed), who became the first No. 8 seed to ever defeat a No. 1 seed in the 30-year history of the WNBA, take on Jordin Canada and the Atlanta Dream (No. 1 seed) in Game 1 of this best-of-five Semifinal series on Sunday, October 4 at 2:00 PM ET on ABC and the ESPN App.

🎙 ESPN’s lead WNBA crew of Ryan Ruocco (play-by-play) and Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Rebecca Lobo (analyst) provide commentary for the Liberty-Dream semifinals, joined regularly by sideline reporter Holly Rowe.

Atlanta claimed this year’s regular-season series, taking two of three meetings vs. New York (both Dream wins came in September). 

The Liberty and Dream swept their respective first-round opponents. In the first round, the No. 8 seed Liberty became the first club to take out a No. 1 seed in WNBA playoff history when New York swept Minnesota in two games, with each game being decided by at least 16 points. The Lynx only led for a grand total of 3:23 in the entire two-game mini-series. Breanna Stewart is the Liberty’s leading scorer in the playoffs, averaging 27.5 points per game.

Atlanta easily defeated Washington in the first round, winning these games by 15 and 18 points, respectively, en route to their first semifinal appearance since the 2018 season. The guard combo of Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray is averaging a combined 42.5 points per game for the Dream thus far in the playoffs.

🎙 ESPN’s lead WNBA crew of Ryan Ruocco (play-by-play) and Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Rebecca Lobo (analyst) provide commentary for the Liberty-Dream semifinals, joined regularly by sideline reporter Holly Rowe.

🔘 ⬦ (3) Las Vegas Aces vs. (2) Golden State Valkyries — Semifinals, Game 1 — Sunday, 4:00 PM ET (1:00 PM PT) on NBC & Peacock:

Brianna Turner and the reigning WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces (No. 3 seed) tangle with Kayla Thornton and the Golden State Valkyries (No. 2 seed) in the first game of this best-of-five Semifinal series on Sunday, October 4 at 4:00 PM ET on NBC and Peacock.

🎙 Zora Stephenson (play-by-play) will call the Aces-Valkyries series, joined by Sarah Kustok (analyst) and Ashley ShahAhmadi (sideline reporter).

Las Vegas swept Golden State in the regular season, with the Aces winning all three of the matchups. 

Both teams advanced to the semifinals after exciting Game 3 victories in their respective first-round series. A’ja Wilson started the postseason strong, and she is highly favored to win yet another Finals MVP if Las Vegas returns to the WNBA Finals. The trio of Wilson, Jackie Young, and Chelsea Gray has combined to pour in 71 points, 15.7 assists, and 9.7 rebounds over three playoff games.

Golden State flexed its defensive muscle in the opening series, limiting the Wings to 76.5 points per game in the two victories in that series. Natalie Nakase’s team prides itself on its defense. Valkyries G Gabby Williams helped Golden State advance in Game 3 vs. Dallas on Friday evening, as Williams registered 24.5 points, 4.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.3 steals throughout the First Round.

Once the series begins, the WNBA semifinals will then continue through Friday, October 9, with New York/Atlanta and Golden State/Las Vegas guaranteed at least three games. If additional games are needed in the semifinals, those contests will be played on Sunday, October 11 (Game 4) and Wednesday, October 14 (Game 5).

Continue going through the article for game capsules.

► Rams (1-2) vs. Eagles (2-1) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One:

Cooper DeJean and the Philadelphia Eagles (2-1) suit up against Kobie Turner and the visiting Los Angeles Rams (1-2) from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Sunday, October 4 at 1:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One. Philly comes in 2-1 after an embarrassing 27-7 loss in Chicago on Monday night, while Los Angeles is 1-2 after last Sunday evening’s 30-26 defeat to the Broncos.

Fox’s top team of Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play), seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady (analyst), Erin Andrews (reporter) & Tom Rinaldi (reporter) will have the call of Rams-Eagles from Philadelphia.

► Cowboys (1-2) vs. Texans (0-3) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET (12:00 PM CT) on Fox & Fox One:

Javonte Williams and the Dallas Cowboys (1-2) get ready to play Will Anderson Jr. and the winless Houston Texans (0-3) as two clubs from the Lone Star State collide from Houston’s Reliant Stadium on Sunday, October 4 at 1:00 PM ET/12:00 PM CT on Fox & Fox One.

Kenny Albert (play-by-play) leads Fox’s Cowboys-Texans announcing team, joined by three-time Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen (analyst) and veteran reporter Pam Oliver (sidelines).

Of course, the Cowboys are fresh off a tough 34-31 loss to the Ravens down in Brazil last Sunday. Once again, the Cowboys’ defense was a major letdown, as that unit couldn’t be trusted when it was needed down the stretch. DC Christian Parker and the Cowboys’ D have plenty of work to do. However, Cowboys QB Dak Prescott tossed his 250th career touchdown pass last week despite the difficult outcome. Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb finished last week’s game vs. the Ravens with 7 catches for 112 yards.

The Texans dropped last week’s game, 19-17, to the Indianapolis Colts in AFC South action. Times are tough for Houston, as the team finds itself three games below. 500 already and a loss to the Cowboys on Sunday basically could put Houston in a hole that would be too difficult to overcome. Houston’s defense tried its best to power the Texans to a win. The Texans’ defense put C.J. Stroud and company in a great position at the Colts’ 40-yard line on the Texans’ first possession, thanks to a strip-sack by Will Anderson Jr. Despite that, Houston would eventually turn the ball over in four plays.

► Jets (1-2) vs. Bears (2-1) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET (12:00 PM CT) on Fox & Fox One:

Breece Hall and the New York Jets (1-2) travel to the Windy City to face Montez Sweat and the Chicago Bears (2-1) on Sunday, October 4 at 1:00 PM ET/12:00 PM CT on Fox & Fox One.

Tim Brando (play-by-play), Pro Football Hall of Famer Drew Brees (analyst) & Kristina Pink (reporter) will call the Jets-Bears game from Soldier Field in Chicago. 

The Jets fell to the Lions, 31-24, in Week #3. QB Geno Smith and the Jets offense needed a moment to get settled in. After a tough start, Smith went to work for the Jets, throwing for 321 yards on 31-for-37 with three touchdown passes. Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq (rookie) produced the best game of his NFL career to date, finishing with 105 yards and his first-ever NFL receiving touchdown on seven receptions. The Jets MUST find a way to turn tight losses into victories. 

The Bears are coming off a dominant 27-7 win over the Eagles on “Monday Night Football”, thanks to a tremendous performance from Bears QB Case Keenum. Bears QB Case Keenum is the second player aged 38 or older with two-plus passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown in a prime-time contest, joining Tom Brady (Week 5, 2018, against the Colts). The Bears aligned under center on 58% of their offensive snaps last week against Philadelphia, their highest rate since Week 14 of the 2025 season. Bears WR Luther Burden caught seven passes for 61 yards and a touchdown reception in Week 3. Burden has 60+ receiving yards in 2 of the last 3 games.

► Packers (1-2) vs. Buccaneers (0-3) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One:

Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers (1-2) meet Vita Vea and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-3) from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida on Sunday, October 4 at 1:00 PM ET on Fox & Fox One.

Sunday’s Packers-Buccaneers contest features commentary from Chris Myers (play-by-play), Super Bowl champion Jonathan Vilma (analyst) & Jen Hale (field reporter).

The Packers were crushed by the Falcons, 35-14, on “Thursday Night Football” last week at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Green Bay dropped their home opener at Lambeau Field for the first time since the 2012 season. Unfortunately, the Packers played last week with Micah Parsons (knee) and Josh Jacobs (Commissioner’s Exempt List). Plus, several offensive injuries plagued the Packers too. Packers QB Jordan Love threw for 312 yards & 2 TDs last week against the Falcons. Love faced heat and was inaccurate with some throws. 

The Buccaneers narrowly lost to the Vikings, 23-16, in Week #3 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. The Buccaneers will be without QB Baker Mayfield (thumb), who was injured in last Sunday’s home loss to Minnesota. Tampa Bay will now turn to 23-year-old Jalon Daniels, a rookie from the University of Kansas. In limited action last week, Daniels went 0-for-3 with an interception tossed. Tampa Bay has to win to get back into the NFC South race, with all four teams currently below .500. Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving had 58 scrimmage yards (46 rushing, 12 receiving) against the Vikings in Week 3.

🞹 Singleheader — Late Game Only | Dolphins at Vikings | Sunday, 4:05 PM ET (3:05 PM CT) on Fox & Fox One:

Select Fox stations will air the Miami Dolphins vs. Minnesota Vikings late-afternoon game from Minneapolis, with coverage starting at 4:00 PM ET. Keep reading for additional details about Sunday’s Dolphins-Vikings game on Fox.

► Dolphins (0-3) vs. Vikings (3-0) — Sunday, 4:05 PM ET (3:05 PM CT) on Fox & Fox One:

Josh Uche and the winless Miami Dolphins (0-3) go to U.S. Bank Stadium to oppose Blake Cashman and the host Minnesota Vikings (3-0) on Sunday, October 4 at 4:05 PM ET/3:05 PM CT on Fox & Fox One.

Kevin Kugler (play-by-play), three-time Super Bowl champion Daryl Johnston (analyst) & Allison Williams (field reporter) will be on the call from Minneapolis.

The Dolphins lost 24-10 to the Chiefs last week in their home opener at Hard Rock Stadium. There are no such things as moral victories in professional football. However, to Miami’s credit, they hung in there with Kansas City for the most part last week. Despite Miami’s offense being limited to under 14 points for the third straight week, it showed some flashes while dealing with a shorthanded deck. The Dolphins’ leading receiver, Caleb Douglas, didn’t play in Week 3 due to an ankle injury. Plus, Dolphins RB De’Von Achane was lost early in Week 3 with a knee injury. 

The Vikings edged the Buccaneers 23-16 last week. After missing Week #2 due to a concussion suffered in Week #1 against the Packers, Vikings QB Kyler Murray returned to the Vikings’ lineup last week. Murray struggled somewhat, only passing for 168 yards in Week 3 vs. the Bucs. But Murray and the Vikings did just enough to remain undefeated heading into the Week #4 matchup against the Dolphins at home. Tampa Bay and Minnesota combined for 17 points in last Sunday’s game, the most punts in an NFL game since Week 7, 2024, between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles (19). The Vikings will be without four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Justin Jefferson this Sunday, as he was ruled out with an ankle injury.

Here is your Week #4 NFL on CBS preview (view below 👇):

🔘 NFL on CBS — 2026 NFL Regular Season | Week #4 (CBS Doubleheader) — Sunday, October 4, 2026 — Schedule Preview:

✱ Pregame | "The NFL Today presented by Jeep" | Sunday, 12:00 PM ET — 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 | Patriots at Bills, Cardinals at Giants, Jaguars at Bengals, Titans at Ravens | Sunday, 1:00 PM ET/12:00 PM CT — CBS, Paramount+:

Football doubleheader action begins at 1:00 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+. In Week #4, CBS will air four games regionally during the early window. AFC East foes will play in a national 1:00 PM ET telecast as Rhamondre Stevenson and the New England Patriots battle Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. If you did not receive Patriots-Bills, the other regional game options include Cardinals vs. Giants at MetLife Stadium, Jaguars vs. Bengals at Paycor Stadium, and Titans vs. Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. Time now for the early game capsules.

⯈ Patriots (1-2) vs. Bills (3-0) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET on CBS & Paramount+:

C.J. Gardner-Johnson and the undefeated Buffalo Bills (3-0) host Marcus Jones and the New England Patriots (1-2) at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York on Sunday, October 4 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+. The Bills defeated the Chargers, 24-16, in Week #3 behind two touchdown passes from quarterback Josh Allen. The Patriots try to rebound following a 35-6 smacking in Jacksonville last week.

Ian Eagle (play-by-play), Ross Tucker (analyst) & Evan Washburn (field reporter) broadcast the AFC East contest from the new Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York.

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

Michael Wilson and the Arizona Cardinals (1-2) line up against Tremaine Edmunds and the New York Giants (2-1) on Sunday, October 4 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+.

The Cardinals-Giants game can be seen on CBS on Sunday, with play-by-play announcer Spero Dedes, analyst and former NFL defensive back Adam Archuleta, and field reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala.

Last week, the Cardinals narrowly lost to the 49ers, 36-30, in NFC West play. Despite trailing 17-6 at halftime, Arizona made the game somewhat competitive thanks to rookie RB Jeremiyah Love, who picked up his first game with 100 scrimmage yards (90 rushing) and contributed a receiving score. Following Arizona’s Week 1 win over the Chargers, Arizona has crashed back down to Earth with consecutive losses to the Seahawks and 49ers. Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett dished the ball out to WR Michael Wilson (11 catches, 89 yards, TD) and TE Trey McBride (9 catches, 75 yards) in the Week 3 matchup against the 49ers. Arizona plays its second consecutive road game this week. 

The Giants sneaked past the Titans, 12-7, in Week #3, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Despite playing their first game without their young QB Jaxson Dart, the Giants won without scoring a single touchdown. Running backs Najee Harris and Cam Skattebo combined for 112 yards on 29 carries against the Titans last week. Giants K Dominic Zvada drilled four field goals in the Giants’ Week 3 victory over the Titans. The Giants play another home game over at MetLife Stadium in Week #4.

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

Josh Hines-Allen and the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-1) go head-to-head with Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals (2-1) in a battle of two 2-1 teams on Sunday, October 4 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+.

Tom McCarthy (play-by-play) joins Super Bowl champion Robert Turbin (analyst) & Tiffany Blackmon (field reporter) to announce the early afternoon game from Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Jaguars are fresh off a 35-6 spanking of the New England Patriots at home last week. Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence finished Week 3 play with three touchdown passes and a superb QB rating of 102.9. Lawrence has accounted for seven touchdowns through the air to just two interceptions through the first three weeks of the season. Jaguars HC Liam Coen has a golden opportunity to help Jacksonville reach consecutive postseasons for the first time since 1998-99. Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter FINALLY snagged career interception No. 1 last week in DUVAL, picking off Patriots QB Drake Maye. Many more interceptions are coming your way, Mr. Hunter! 😏

The Bengals were clipped, 30-27, by the Steelers in Week 3 action at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. Following two straight wins, Cincinnati suffered its first loss of the season. After playing well for most of the Steelers game, Cincinnati made key errors in the fourth quarter, including on special teams and a late strip sack that essentially ended the game. On a positive note, Bengals WRs Ja’Marr Chase (98 yards) and Tee Higgins (90 yards) looked decent, with both scoring touchdowns against Pittsburgh in Week 3. Bengals DT Dexter Lawrence had a career-high three tackles for loss against the Steelers last week.

⯈ Titans (0-3) vs. Ravens (2-1) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET on CBS & Paramount+:

Following a THRILLING win in Rio last Sunday, Kyle Hamilton and the Baltimore Ravens (2-1) return stateside to host Amani Hooker and the winless Tennessee Titans (0-3) on Sunday, October 4 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+.

Titans-Ravens will receive regional coverage on CBS, featuring the commentary team of Chris Lewis (play-by-play), Hall of Famer Luke Kuechly (analyst) & Amanda Balionis (reporter).

The Titans lost 12-7 to the Giants in Week #3. Unfortunately, despite MetLife Stadium’s familiarity to former Giants head coach Brian Daboll (TEN offensive coordinator) and Jets coach Robert Saleh (TEN head coach), both left New Jersey without a win. Despite finishing with more total net yards (262 to 238) and more first downs (17 to 16) than the Giants, Tennessee didn’t make enough plays to win. Titans QB Cam Ward went 23-for-36 (63.9%) for 181 yards & a TD in Week #3 against the Giants. 

The Ravens feel good after last week’s exciting 34-31 win over the Cowboys in the first-ever NFL regular season game held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. How about that Baltimore-Dallas game, huh? Ravens WR Zay Flowers led the team in scrimmage yards with 104 (84 receiving, 20 rushing) last week against the Cowboys. Ravens RB Derrick Henry rushed for 89 yards & 2 TD’s in the Week 3 wild win over the Cowboys. Ravens K Tyler Loop hit a 56-yard field goal as time expired to give the Ravens a crazy 34-31 victory.

✱ Doubleheader, Game #2 | Chiefs at Raiders, Broncos at 49ers, Chargers at Seahawks | Sunday, 4:25 PM ET/3:25 PM CT — CBS, Paramount+:

Stay tuned for the second half of the NFL on CBS Week #4 doubleheader, with game coverage starting at 4:25 PM ET. Most of the country will see an AFC West showdown as the Chiefs visit the Raiders. Other late games include Broncos vs. 49ers from Santa Clara and Chargers vs. Seahawks from Seattle. Read on for game summaries regarding the late games.

⯈ Chiefs (3-0) vs. Raiders (3-0) — Sunday, 4:25 PM ET (1:25 PM PT) on CBS & Paramount+:

Maxx Crosby and the Las Vegas Raiders (3-0) host Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs (3-0) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday, October 4 at 4:25 PM ET/1:25 PM PT on CBS and Paramount+. Both teams have yet to lose this year and are tied for first place in the AFC West. The Raiders defeated the Chiefs during Week #18 of the 2025 season, 14-12.

Sunday’s Chiefs-Raiders serves as the national doubleheader game on CBS, with Jim Nantz (play-by-play), three-time Defensive Player of the Year winner JJ Watt (analyst) & Tracy Wolfson (sideline reporter) announcing the action.

⯈ Broncos (2-1) vs. 49ers (3-0) — Sunday, 4:25 PM ET (1:25 PM PT) on CBS & Paramount+:

An exciting Week 4 matchup awaits from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, as J.K. Dobbins and the Denver Broncos (2-1) lock horns with Christian McCaffrey and the undefeated San Francisco 49ers (3-0) on Sunday, October 4 at 4:25 PM ET/1:25 PM PT on CBS and Paramount+.

CBS Sports will have the legendary Kevin Harlan (play-by-play), two-time Pro Bowl QB Trent Green (analyst) & Melanie Collins (reporter) on the broadcast team for Broncos-49ers.

The Broncos beat the Rams 30-26 on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 3. Denver seeks their third consecutive win after the Week 1 loss to Kansas City on “Monday Night Football”. Broncos QB Bo Nix finished 17-for-34 for 186 yards, 2 TDs, and an INT in the Week 3 home victory over the Rams. Last week’s game served as the 12th game-winning drive for the third-year Broncos QB, the most since the former Oregon/Auburn quarterback entered the league in 2024. Can the Broncos’ offense get right as the season progresses? Broncos S Talanoa Hufanga became the first player to record two pick-sixes off Rams QB Matthew Stafford last week, returning one 66 yards to the crib. 

The 49ers stayed perfect with a 36-30 home victory over the Cardinals last week at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. San Francisco begins 3-0 in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1989 & 1990, when the 1989 squad eventually won the Super Bowl. This San Francisco undefeated team is dealing with significant injuries yet again, as the team played without DE Nick Bosa (calf), WR Demarcus Robinson (ankle), & DT James Thompson Jr. (ankle). To add insult to injury, they lost WR Mike Evans and LT Trent Williams during the game. The fact that San Francisco has successfully maneuvered through these injuries is NOTHING short of remarkable, man.

⯈ Chargers (0-3) vs. Seahawks (2-1) — Sunday, 4:25 PM ET (1:25 PM PT) on CBS & Paramount+:

Tarheeb Still and the winless Los Angeles Chargers (0-3) try to FINALLY grab their first dub in this tough road matchup against star Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks (2-1) on Sunday, October 4 at 4:25 PM ET/1:25 PM PT on CBS and Paramount+.

Andrew Catalon (play-by-play) and two-time Super Bowl champion Logan Ryan (analyst) will be in the booth for Chargers-Seahawks, accompanied by field reporter AJ Ross.

The Chargers enter October with a sense of desperation as they try to shake off last week’s 24-16 loss to the Bills in Orchard Park, New York. Things have gotten off to a disappointing start in Los Angeles, as the Chargers already find themselves in last place in the AFC West after September. Things looked good early for the Bolts 🗲 last week in Buffalo, as the team was facing a 0-3 start if they couldn’t beat the Bills. The Chargers forced five turnovers by Buffalo, with Chargers CB Tarheeb Still recording his first-ever forced fumble. Sadly, the Chargers fell apart, and the Bills handed them their third consecutive loss. 

The defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks hit a bump in the road with last week’s STUNNING 33-31 loss to the previously winless Washington Commanders. The Seahawks, plagued by errors, committed three turnovers, faced two three-and-outs, and failed to reach the end zone late in the first half. Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba showcased his exceptional talent once again, amassing 128 yards and two touchdowns. He joined Hall of Famer Jerry Rice as the only players in NFL history to achieve at least 120 receiving yards and a touchdown in each of their team’s first three games of a season. Although Seattle outperformed Washington in total yards (437 to 258), first downs (28 to 17), and yards per play (6.8 to 4.0), its mistakes ultimately led to a road loss — an unusual outcome for a team coached by Mike Macdonald.
