2026 NFL Games on FOX Today: Full Schedule, Streaming, How to Watch On TV
Looking for the NFL games on FOX today? FOX enters its 33rd season as an NFL broadcaster in 2026 with 94 announced regular season games, more windows than any other network, and a slate that runs from Sunday afternoon NFC matchups to Thanksgiving, Christmas and the NFC Championship Game.
This guide lists every FOX game with kickoff times and channels, then shows you the cheapest legal ways to watch, whether you use an antenna, cable, FOX One or a live TV streaming service.
Right now the calendar is in preseason. FOX has one national exhibition game on Sunday 23 August, and the regular season opens on Sunday 13 September 2026.
NFL Games on FOX Today: Windows, Times and Channels
FOX holds the NFC television package, so most of its games feature an NFC road team. Games are shown regionally, which means the matchup on your screen depends on your market, not on a single national feed.
- 1:00 p.m. ET: the early Sunday window, used every week of the season.
- 4:25 p.m. ET: the late window on a FOX doubleheader week. This is where America’s Game of the Week lives, and most of the country sees it.
- 4:05 p.m. ET: the late window on a FOX singleheader week, when CBS has the doubleheader. Each market gets one FOX game that day rather than two.
- Special windows: 9:30 a.m. ET from Munich in Week 10, 4:30 p.m. ET on Thanksgiving, 5:00 p.m. ET on Saturday 19 December, and 8:15 p.m. ET on Christmas night.
FOX doubleheader weeks in 2026 are Weeks 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14 and 17. Singleheader weeks are 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, 15 and 16. Week 10 is a tripleheader, FOX’s first in more than a decade.

Marquee FOX Games to Circle in 2026
- Packers at Patriots, Week 9: Tom Brady calls a game in Foxborough for the first time as a broadcaster.
- Patriots at Lions from Munich, Week 10: FOX’s only international game this season, kicking off a tripleheader that runs from 9:30 a.m. to the late window.
- Eagles at Cowboys on Thanksgiving: the 4:30 p.m. window in Dallas, branded the John Madden Thanksgiving Celebration. Last year’s FOX Thanksgiving game drew a record 47.7 million viewers.
- Seahawks at Eagles, Saturday 19 December: a brand new FOX Saturday window at 5:00 p.m.
- Rams at Seahawks on Christmas: an NFC Championship Game rematch in prime time on Friday 25 December.
How to Watch NFL Games on FOX on TV
FOX is a broadcast network, so it reaches nearly every US household. There are three routes to the picture.
- Your local FOX station: FOX 5 New York, FOX 11 Los Angeles, FOX 32 Chicago, FOX 4 Dallas, FOX 29 Philadelphia and so on. Enter your ZIP code on fox.com to confirm your channel.
- Antenna: A digital antenna pulls in FOX free in HD with no monthly bill. Nothing about that changes this season, and you do not need a new TV for ATSC 3.0.
- Cable and satellite: FOX sits in the basic tier on DIRECTV, DISH, Spectrum, Xfinity, Optimum and Cox.
- Spanish language: FOX Deportes simulcasts one preseason game, five regular season games including Munich, Thanksgiving, the Saturday game and Christmas, plus one Wild Card game, one Divisional game and the NFC Championship.
Check your channel first if you live in Albuquerque. On 1 August 2026 KRQE channel 13 dropped CBS and became New Mexico’s full time FOX station, moving FOX off a subchannel and onto the main signal. That matters locally because FOX carries most Cowboys games.
How to Stream FOX NFL Games Without Cable
Every service below carries live local FOX, subject to your ZIP code. Prices are current as of August 2026.
FOX One
FOX One is FOX’s own streaming service at $19.99 a month or $199.99 a year, with a three day free trial. It includes your local FOX station, FS1, FS2, FOX Deportes, BTN, FOX News, FOX Business and FOX Weather.
Because it carries your local station feed, you see the FOX game assigned to your market, the same one an antenna would give you. FOX streams select games in 4K here. Bundles run $24.99 with FOX Nation and $39.99 with ESPN Unlimited.
YouTube TV
YouTube TV costs $82.99 a month on the Base plan with a 21 day free trial. The cheaper Sports plan is $64.99 and still includes FOX, CBS, NBC and ABC, which is enough for football.
NFL Sunday Ticket is an add on if you want every out of market Sunday afternoon game, at $240 for the season for new subscribers.
Fubo
Fubo is now part of Disney alongside Hulu but is still sold on its own. The Sports and News plan is $64.99 a month, Pro is $88.99 and Elite is $98.99, after a $15 increase in July 2026 that brought NBC channels back. Add a regional sports fee of roughly $4 to $17 depending on your market. Free trial is five days.
Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV is $89.99 a month with ads and bundles Disney+ and ESPN Select. A $99.99 tier upgrades Hulu and Disney+ to premium. The free trial is three days. FOX availability depends on your ZIP code.
Sling TV
Sling carries FOX only on Blue ($45.99) and Orange and Blue ($60.99), and only in select markets. Sling Orange has no FOX at all. The newer Sling Select plan is $19.99 with locals as a $5 or $10 add on. Sling also sells day passes from $4.99, which is handy for one big game. Always run the ZIP check before subscribing.
DIRECTV
DIRECTV streaming starts at $59.99 for the first month on Entertainment, then $89.99. The sports focused MySports package is $49.99 for two months, then $64.99, and includes ESPN Unlimited. Every plan has a five day free trial. Watch for a regional sports fee up to $19.99 on Choice and above.
NFL+
NFL+ is $6.99 a month or $49.99 a year, and Premium is $14.99 a month or $99.99 a season with RedZone and full game replays. One catch matters: live local and prime time games stream on phones and tablets only, not on a TV. It is a companion, not a replacement.
Free Ways to Watch NFL Games on FOX
- Digital antenna: the only genuinely free option all season. A one time antenna purchase gives you your market’s FOX game in HD every week, with no account and no bill.
- Free trials: YouTube TV gives 21 days, Fubo and DIRECTV five days, FOX One and Hulu + Live TV three days. Stack them across different weeks and cancel before billing.
- Tubi: FOX’s free service streamed Super Bowl LIX and the 2025 Thanksgiving game, but no 2026 NFL simulcast has been announced. Last year’s Thanksgiving deal was confirmed in September, so it is worth rechecking in the autumn.
- Sling day pass: $4.99 for a single day is not free, but it is the cheapest way to catch one specific FOX game legally.

How many NFL games does FOX have in 2026?

Does FOX One stream every NFL game on FOX?
FOX One streams your local FOX station live, so you get the game your market is assigned rather than every FOX game in the country. It costs $19.99 a month or $199.99 a year with a three day free trial, and FOX streams select games in 4K on it.
What time do FOX NFL games start?
The early window is 1:00 p.m. ET every week. The late window is 4:25 p.m. ET when FOX has the doubleheader (Weeks 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14 and 17) and 4:05 p.m. ET when CBS has it.
Which Thanksgiving game is on FOX in 2026?
Eagles at Cowboys, Thursday 26 November at 4:30 p.m. ET on FOX and FOX Deportes, branded the John Madden Thanksgiving Celebration. CBS has the 1:00 p.m. game and NBC has the night game.
Does FOX have a Christmas game in 2026?
Yes. Rams at Seahawks, Friday 25 December at 8:15 p.m. ET, a rematch of last season’s NFC Championship Game. It is also on FOX Deportes.

No. Super Bowl LXI on 14 February 2027 is on ABC and ESPN from SoFi Stadium. FOX’s next Super Bowl is LXIII in February 2029 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Why is a different FOX game showing in my area?
FOX games are distributed regionally. The NFL and FOX assign each market the game with the strongest local interest, so your neighbour two states away can be watching a different matchup at the same kickoff. NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube is the only way to get every out of market Sunday afternoon game.
The 2026 NFL games on FOX package is the network’s deepest in years: 94 regular season games, a Munich tripleheader, a new Saturday window, Thanksgiving in Dallas, Christmas night in Seattle and the road to the NFC Championship.
An antenna still gets you your market’s game for free. If you want it on every screen, FOX One at $19.99 is the cheapest paid route, and YouTube TV’s $64.99 Sports plan is the best value if you also want CBS, NBC and ESPN.
Bookmark this page, because Weeks 11 through 18 can still move under flexible scheduling.
