NFL Week 15 Schedule 2026 TV Channels and Streaming
Five broadcasters split the 16 games. CBS has the biggest share at seven, including the Saturday nightcap.
| Network | Games | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| CBS | 7 | Bears at Bills on Saturday, four Sunday 1:00 PM games and both 4:25 PM games |
| FOX | 6 | Seahawks at Eagles on Saturday, four Sunday 1:00 PM games and Jets at Cardinals at 4:05 PM |
| NBC | 1 | Sunday Night Football, Lions at Vikings |
| ESPN | 1 | Monday Night Football, Patriots at Chiefs |
| Prime Video | 1 | Thursday Night Football, 49ers at Chargers |
Every network has a streaming twin. Paramount+ carries the CBS slate, FOX One carries FOX at 19.99 dollars a month, Peacock mirrors Sunday night, and the ESPN app on an ESPN Unlimited plan covers Monday night. A digital antenna pulls in your local CBS and FOX games for free.
Two limits are worth knowing before you subscribe. NFL+ at 6.99 dollars a month streams local and prime time games on phones and tablets only, so those games cannot be cast to a television on any tier. And NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV remains the only way to watch out of market Sunday afternoon games.
Teams on Bye in Week 15
None. Bye weeks end after Week 14, so all 32 teams are in action for the rest of the regular season. Fantasy playoff rosters are at full strength for the first time since September.
What Makes Week 15 Worth Watching
Saturday football returns on broadcast television. The NFL puts two games on Saturday, December 19, and both go to a major over the air network rather than a streamer. Seahawks at Eagles kicks off at 5:00 PM ET on FOX, then Bears at Bills takes the 8:20 PM ET slot on CBS.
Buffalo hosts under the lights in its new building. The Bills opened the new Highmark Stadium this season. It seats 60,108, roughly 11,000 fewer than the old bowl, and the tighter design plus an open field means December weather is part of the show.
Ravens at Steelers headlines the Sunday window. The AFC North rivalry lands at Acrisure Stadium in Week 15, when division tiebreakers usually decide who hosts a wild card game and who travels.
Two prime time division games close the week. Lions at Vikings puts the NFC North on NBC at U.S. Bank Stadium. Patriots at Chiefs then gets the standalone Monday window at Arrowhead, the loudest road test in the league.
SoFi Stadium works twice in four days. The Chargers host Thursday night, then the Rams host Dallas at 4:25 PM on Sunday. It is the only venue with two Week 15 games.
Prime time listings can still move. Sunday night flex applies in Week 15, and from Week 14 through Week 17 the league only needs to give six days notice. Monday night can also flex with 12 days notice. The Thursday game and the Saturday pair are locked.
