NFL Week 8 Schedule on TV and Streaming
Five outlets carry Week 8. Here is who has what:
- Prime Video: Panthers at Packers on Thursday night
- CBS: six Sunday games, every one an AFC matchup
- FOX: five Sunday games, mostly NFC matchups
- NBC and Peacock: Eagles at Commanders on Sunday night
- ESPN: Bears at Seahawks on Monday night, with no ABC simulcast this week
Sunday afternoon coverage is regional, so CBS and FOX show only the games assigned to your market. NFL+ streams local and primetime games on phones and tablets, and NFL RedZone follows every scoring drive in the afternoon windows.
Week 8 Games Worth Circling
- Ravens at Bills, 1:00 PM: Baltimore visits the new Highmark Stadium, the 60,108 seat bowl Buffalo opened in June 2026.
- Browns at Steelers, 1:00 PM: AFC North football at Acrisure Stadium, one week after Pittsburgh played in Paris.
- Chiefs at Broncos, 4:25 PM: an AFC West meeting at altitude in the late CBS window.
- Eagles at Commanders, 8:20 PM: an NFC East rivalry under the lights on NBC.
Chargers at Rams is the oddity of the week. Both clubs call SoFi Stadium home, so neither team travels.
Teams on Bye in Week 8
Four teams are off. Plan your fantasy lineups around them:
New Orleans gets the friendliest version of a bye. The Saints hosted Pittsburgh at Stade de France in Paris in Week 7, so this is their recovery week.
