Building on last year’s historic ratings, CBS Sports continues its mission to deliver top-quality NFL content across multiple platforms, including linear television (CBS Television Network) and streaming (Paramount+). Over 100 regular-season games will air on CBS during the 2026 NFL season.

In 2025, the NFL on CBS achieved its highest regular-season performance to date, breaking viewership records with the NFL’s premier overall package, which drew 21.252 million viewers. The network also recorded a remarkable 25.827 million viewers for the national game at 4:25 PM ET, and the Chiefs-Cowboys matchup on Thanksgiving garnered an impressive 57.231 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings.

The NFL on CBS playoff lineup includes a Wild Card playoff game, the Divisional Playoff matchup, and finally, the AFC Championship Game. All games will be broadcast on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+ in the team’s local markets.

TV’s Most-Watched Program includes Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs four times & Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys twice in the National Game Window at 4:25 PM ET:


The NFL’s national game window on CBS, scheduled for 4:25 PM ET, has consistently ranked as the most-watched television slot for the past three years, averaging nearly 26 million viewers during the last season. This season, CBS Sports will present 10 national Sunday doubleheader windows, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs four times and the Dallas Cowboys twice.

Overall, CBS Sports’ national game windows — including Thanksgiving (#CHIvsDET) and Week 15 Saturday Primetime (#CHIvsBUF) — will feature multiple appearances by the Chiefs (4 games) and the BillsCowboys, Broncos49ers, and Bears (2 games each).

The NFL on CBS announced its return to Detroit this Thanksgiving for a late-season divisional rivalry matchup, with Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Detroit Lions taking on Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears (Thursday, November 26, at 1:00 PM ET). Over the past three seasons, both teams have claimed the NFC North title, with the Bears securing the division crown last year (2025) and the Lions winning it in the two preceding seasons (2023-24).

AFC’s Star Quarterbacks In The Spotlight All Season Long:
As the primary television partner for the AFC, CBS Sports’ 2026 NFL schedule is filled with plenty of looks at some of the AFC’s top quarterbacks, including Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs), Joe Burrow (Bengals), Lamar Jackson (Ravens), CJ Stroud (Texans), Bo Nix (Broncos), Justin Herbert (Chargers) & Drake Maye (Patriots).

| ► Tuesday, May 12, 2026

πŸŸ… Highlights:

  • Highly anticipated showdowns between the league’s top signal callers.

  • The riveting and compelling slate of 2026 TNF games winds down with two holiday games — CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans vs. Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles on Christmas Eve (Thursday, December 24), followed by Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens vs. Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals on New Year’s Eve (Thursday, December 31).

Prime Video’s fifth season of exclusive Thursday Night Football (TNF) coverage launches with remarkable energy and promises an engaging lineup for fans. This season features a thrilling assortment of cross-divisional matchups, high-stakes quarterback duels, and the inaugural NFL regular season game at the newly constructed Highmark Stadium in Buffalo. The 2026 campaign culminates in a pair of holiday matchups: the Texans face off against the Eagles on Christmas Eve in Philadelphia, followed by a classic AFC North showdown between the Ravens and Bengals in Cincinnati on New Year’s Eve.

Jay Marine, Head of Prime Video U.S., Global Sports and Advertising, expressed excitement about the season’s kickoff. “We are thrilled to launch our fifth season of TNF with a fantastic lineup of games, starting with Detroit at Buffalo as the Bills inaugurate their state-of-the-art stadium. This year’s schedule features outstanding matchups and the biggest stars in the game, building on the momentum from last year’s record-setting TNF season.”

Other notable highlights include the Mahomes vs. Stafford showdown when the Rams host the Chiefs the week after Thanksgiving, and the December 17 clash between the 49ers and Chargers.

This year’s Black Friday Football features a thrilling matchup between the Broncos and Steelers, both of whom are AFC division champions from 2025. This game will again serve as the centerpiece of an all-day sports marathon on Prime Video, as Amazon ushers in the holiday season with exciting deals and cultural offerings.

MLB on Fox: On Deck | MLB's 2026 "Rivalry Weekend" is heavily featured on this week's Fox Saturday Baseball lineup, with Battle of the Beltway (Orioles vs. Nationals) and Subway Series (Yankees vs. Mets) being featured | Saturday, May 16, at 4:00 PM ET on FS1 & 7:00 PM ET on Fox

| ⏵ Monday, May 11, 2026

πŸŸ… Highlights:
  • Fox Sports continues its season-long live coverage of Major League Baseball on Saturday, May 16, with Fox Saturday Baseball across the Fox broadcast network and FS1.
  • Rivalry Weekend” provides the backdrop to this week’s selection of game matchups — including the Subway Series (Yankees-Mets), the Battle of the Beltway (Orioles-Nationals), & Padres-Mariners.
  • Coby Mayo and the Baltimore Orioles visit CJ Abrams and the Washington Nationals in the “Battle of the Beltway” (MD/DC) on Saturday, May 16, at 4:00 PM ET on FS1.
  • New York baseball bragging rights are at stake as Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees face Mark Vientos and the New York Mets in the “Subway Series” on Saturday, May 16, at 7:00 PM ET on Fox.
  • Manny Machado and the San Diego Padres clash with Julio RodrΓ­guez and the Seattle Mariners on Saturday, May 16, at 7:00 PM ET (4:00 PM PT) on Fox.

With May well underway by this point, Fox Sports’ Major League Baseball regular season coverage for 2026 continues this week (Saturday, May 16) with a Saturday doubleheader on Fox and FS1. There are two game windows with FS1 airing a national game at 4:00 PM ET, followed by Fox’s regional coverage at 7:00 PM ET.

We should mention that this weekend is “Rivalry Weekend,” presented by Booking.com, highlighting MLB’s budding and longstanding rivalries, and Fox will showcase a few of those rivalries to a national audience.

Two-time MLB All-Star Jazz Chisholm Jr. and the New York Yankees (26-16) are set to play their New York City MLB rival, Marcus Semien and the New York Mets (15-25), in the annual “Subway Series” on Saturday, May 16 at 7:15 PM ET on Fox, highlighting Fox Sports’ Major League Baseball three-game lineup for this week.

Orioles vs. Nationals — Saturday, 4:00 PM ET on FS1:
FS1 breaks the seal on Saturday’s lineup of games with a late afternoon presentation on Saturday, May 16, beginning at 4:00 PM ET.

Two Major League Baseball squads that are separated by a mere 40 miles get together on Saturday afternoon as Blaze Alexander and the Baltimore Orioles (19-23) make the quick trip down south to Nationals Park in Washington, DC, to square off against James Wood and the Washington Nationals (19-22) on Saturday, May 16, at 4:00 PM ET on FS1.

These teams are entering head-to-head competition for the first time in 2026. Washington dominated last year’s season series, going 5-1 vs. the Orioles, including an April series win at Nationals Park (the site of this Saturday’s matchup). Washington is currently tied for second in the NL East (alongside the Phillies and Marlins). The Orioles are in the midst of a dreadful 4-6 stretch, which featured a weekend series win over the Athletics. Things are not going well in Baltimore, as the Orioles are already nine games behind the Rays for first place in the American League East. We will see our fair share of young talent in this game, including Baltimore’s Gunnar Henderson and Blaze Alexander, plus Washington’s James Wood and CJ Abrams.

“Baseball Night in America”: Yankees vs. Mets or Padres vs. Mariners — Saturday, 7:00 PM ET on Fox:
Baseball Night in America”, Fox Sports’ signature weekly MLB primetime series, returns to the airwaves of the Fox broadcast network on Saturday, May 16, at 7:00 PM ET, with regional coverage of a pair of primetime MLB contests. Coming up this week, the Yankees will go up against the Mets in the “Subway Series,” or the Padres tussle with the Mariners out in the Pacific Northwest. Check the bottom of this article or your local listings for additional information about which game Fox will be sending your way come Saturday.

Longtime crosstown rivals renew their rivalry as Austin Wells and the New York Yankees (26-16) play Juan Soto and the New York Mets (15-25) as part of the annual Yankees-Mets “Subway Series” on Saturday, May 16 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. Joe Davis (play-by-play) teams up with Hall of Famer John Smoltz (analyst) and Emmy Award winner Ken Rosenthal (reporter) to call Yankees-Mets from Citi Field in Flushing, New York.

The New York clubs will play a series against each other for the first time this year. Last season, the teams split their six head-to-head regular-season meetings. Of course, Yankees-Mets is the featured matchup of this weekend’s “Rivalry Weekend” slate. Despite both teams moving in different directions, there is always hope for a thrilling, captivating game. The Yankees (26-16) are two games behind the Rays for the top spot in the AL East, while the Mets (15-25) look to escape the basement of the NL East. Watch out for Yankees RF Aaron Judge and Yankees 1B Ben Rice alongside Mets DH Juan Soto. Judge is tied for the MLB lead with 16 home runs.

Xander Bogaerts and the San Diego Padres (24-16) travel to T-Mobile Park to compete against Cal Raleigh and the reigning AL West champion Seattle Mariners (20-22) on Saturday, May 16, at 7:00 PM ET (4:00 PM PT) on Fox. Fox Sports’ Aaron Goldsmith (play-by-play) and 1992 National League Rookie of the Year Eric Karros (analyst) provide commentary for Padres-Mariners from T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington.

This is the second of two series between these squads this year, with San Diego sweeping Seattle in a three-game series earlier this season. A total reversal of how last year’s Mariners-Padres season series went, with the Mariners winning five of the six matchups. An important storyline here is the struggle of several stars associated with this matchup — including Mariners C Cal Raleigh, Padres 3B Manny Machado & Padres RF Fernando TatΓ­s Jr. — with each player performing uncharacteristically poorly. WHEN WILL THEY HEAT UP? Maybe this weekend’s game could be a potential starting point. If San Diego and Seattle have intentions of playing postseason baseball in 2026, they need these gentlemen to snap out of it and get going! However, Mariners CF Julio RodrΓ­guez is getting his home run power charged up, with Julio blasting his seventh HR of the season in Monday’s 3-1 win over the Astros.

| ⏵ Monday, May 4, 2026

  • Baseball Night in America” spotlights a pair of National League contests this Saturday with Cardinals-Padres and Mets-Diamondbacks. Coverage begins on Saturday, May 9, at 7:00 PM ET/4:00 PM PT on Fox.
  • An intriguing interleague matchup starts off the day as Carlos Correa and the Houston Astros visit Elly De La Cruz and the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday, May 9, at 4:00 PM ET on FS1.
  • Early-season National League contenders have an opportunity to prove how good they are in this Saturday showcase from San Diego as Jordan Walker and the St. Louis Cardinals take on Fernando TatΓ­s Jr. and the San Diego Padres on Saturday, May 9, at 7:15 PM ET (4:15 PM PT) on Fox.
  • Bo Bichette and the New York Mets continue their West Coast swing through Denver and Phoenix with this Saturday matchup with Geraldo Perdomo and the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday, May 9, at 7:15 PM ET (4:15 PM MST) on Fox.

Three-time MLB All-Star Fernando TatΓ­s Jr. and the San Diego Padres (20-14), currently second in the National League West, host Victor Scott II and the St. Louis Cardinals (21-14) on Baseball Night in America this Saturday, May 9, at 7:15 PM ET (4:15 PM PT) on the Fox broadcast network, highlighting Fox Sports’ Major League Baseball coverage for this week.

MLB on FS1: Astros vs. Reds — Saturday, 4:00 PM ET (FS1):
On Saturday, May 9, Fox Sports will air a nationally televised MLB game on FS1.

Brice Matthews and the Houston Astros (14-22) take on Elly De La Cruz and the Cincinnati Reds (20-15) on Saturday, May 9, at 4:00 PM ET on FS1. Connor Onion (play-by-play) and Tom Verducci (analyst) will provide commentary for Astros-Reds.

Right now, the Astros are fourth in the American League West. The Astros were crushed by the Dodgers, 8-3, in the opener of a three-game series between the clubs that played in the 2017 World Series on Monday evening in Houston. Astros DH Yordan Alvarez possesses a big bat, hitting 12 home runs so far on the season (3rd in the American League). Cincinnati, on the other hand, is currently on a losing streak with Monday’s 5-4 loss to the Cubs marking the team’s fourth consecutive defeat. The Reds trail the Cubs by three games for first place in the National League Central. Cincinnati’s offensive attack in 2026 includes rising star shortstop Elly De La Cruz, who has scored 27 runs on his own accord entering this week’s play.

Baseball Night in America: Cardinals vs. Padres or Mets vs. Diamondbacks — Saturday, 7:00 PM ET (Fox):
Baseball Night in America, Fox Sports’ marquee weekly MLB primetime series, continues this Saturday, May 9, with regional coverage of two National League matchups, beginning at 7:00 PM ET/4:00 PM PT on Fox. Check your local listings or the bottom of this article for further details about which game you will be getting on your local Fox station.

This week’s BNIA game selections include the Cardinals at the Padres from PETCO Park in San Diego, California, and the Mets at the Diamondbacks from Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona.

Three-time MLB All-Star Fernando TatΓ­s Jr. and the San Diego Padres, who hold a record of 20-14 and currently sit in second place in the National League West, will host Victor Scott II and the St. Louis Cardinals, boasting a record of 21-14, this Saturday, May 9, at 7:15 PM ET (4:15 PM PT) on the Fox broadcast network. Fox Sports’ and current primary Padres television announcer Don Orsillo (play-by-play) and Eric Karros (analyst) will call Cardinals-Padres from PETCO Park in San Diego, California.

The Cardinals have played good baseball over their last 10 games, going 7-3 in that stretch (including a series sweep over the Pirates and a series win over the Dodgers). St. Louis began this week on a winning note, defeating the Brewers 6-3 on Monday night at Busch Stadium, thanks to DH Ivan Herrera’s 3-RBI night. This Padres series is part of a seven-game road trip the Cardinals will be on, as they will visit the Athletics for three games after the San Diego series concludes. San Diego is struggling to find consistency following an underwhelming 2-4 homestand (with series losses against the Cubs and White Sox). The Padres dropped a close game to the Giants, 3-2, on Monday night, despite home runs from RamΓ³n Laureano and Jackson Merrill. The Padres are only 1.5 GB behind the Dodgers for the top spot in the National League West.

Marcus Semien and the New York Mets (13-22) travel to the desert for this Saturday night game against Corbin Carroll and the Arizona Diamondbacks (16-17) on Saturday, May 9, at 7:15 PM ET (4:15 PM MST) on the Fox broadcast network. Fox Sports’ Adam Amin (play-by-play), 2005 World Series champion AJ Pierzynski (analyst), & Emmy-Award winning reporter Ken Rosenthal (field reporter) will call Mets-Diamondbacks from Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona.

It has been a miserable start for the Mets in 2026, as the team is still trying to get its act together following a pitiful 12-game losing streak earlier this season. A team that was expected to contend for the National League East title now finds itself in the basement of the division. However, the Mets did start the week right, with a 4-2 win over the Rockies in Denver on Monday afternoon, thanks to Carson Benge’s third home run and Mark Vientos driving in two of the four runs. Home is where the heart is. For Gabriel Moreno and the slumping Diamondbacks (losers of four straight), maybe this week’s six-game homestand can allow them to cook at their home ballpark (where Arizona has gone 9-6 so far). The Diamondbacks were off Monday, after getting swept by the Cubs at Wrigley Field over the weekend. They will welcome the Pirates for a three-game series from Tuesday through Thursday, before the Mets series this weekend.
