“Blackout” and “regional restriction” are the terms for the rules that decide which games you can watch where. They cause most of the “why can’t I watch this?” moments on game day.
Local broadcasts
Sunday afternoon games on CBS and FOX are shown by region. Your local CBS and FOX stations pick from the games being played, so two people in different cities can see different games at the same kickoff time. That is why this site lists a game’s network but cannot promise the exact channel number in your area.
Regional restrictions on this site
Game pages show a Regional restrictions tag when the broadcast listing flags the game. It means availability depends on your location. We do not know your address, so the safest step is to open the game with the streaming service and check before kickoff.
What to check before game day
Open the game from this site and look for the regional-restriction note.
Confirm the local station for your area appears in your provider’s guide.
