What NFL Games are on FOX Today?
This week’s games on FOX with kickoff times in ET. The list updates on its own after every game, so it always shows the current week.
What NFL Game is on FOX This Sunday?
The next FOX game is Cowboys at Colts, Sunday, November 8 at 1:00 PM ET. On most Sundays FOX shows two windows, an early game at 1:00 PM ET and a late game at 4:25 PM ET, and your local FOX station picks the matchup for your market.
On FOX doubleheader weeks most of the country gets both windows; on single-header weeks FOX has one game and CBS the other. The list above shows every FOX game this week with times.
When are NFL Games on FOX Today?
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.

How Do You 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 Do You Stream FOX NFL Games Without Cable?
Every service below carries live local FOX, subject to your ZIP code. Prices come from our price table, last verified in November 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.
How Do You Watch FOX NFL Games for Free?
- 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 streams the Thanksgiving game, Eagles at Cowboys on Thursday, November 26 at 4:30 PM ET, live and in 4K with a free account and no credit card. Tubi also carried Super Bowl LIX and the 2025 Thanksgiving game. No other 2026 FOX game is on Tubi.
- 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.

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.

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.
