Games to Watch in Week 9
- Bengals vs Falcons, Madrid. The second regular season game at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, after the Dolphins beat the Commanders there in November 2025. Atlanta is the designated home team, so the Falcons give up a home date to play in Spain.
- Giants at Eagles. An NFC East meeting in Philadelphia at the season midpoint, when division records start shaping the wild card picture.
- Bills at Vikings. The Monday night finale inside U.S. Bank Stadium, one of the loudest indoor venues in the league.
How to Watch the NFL Week 9 Schedule on TV
- Thursday Night Football: Prime Video
- Madrid game (9:30 AM ET): NFL Network
- Sunday afternoon: CBS and FOX
- Sunday Night Football: NBC and Peacock
- Monday Night Football: ESPN and ABC
Streaming follows the broadcaster. Paramount+ simulcasts the CBS games, Fox One simulcasts the FOX games, Peacock has Sunday night, Prime Video has Thursday night and the ESPN app has Monday night. The Madrid game sits on NFL Network, which comes with an NFL+ subscription. Note the tiers: base NFL+ covers local and prime time games on phones and tablets, while NFL RedZone needs NFL+ Premium. A live TV service such as YouTube TV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV or Sling gathers the broadcast networks in one place.
Sunday afternoon coverage is regional. Local CBS and FOX affiliates choose which games air in each market, so check a coverage map if you want a specific matchup. The Sunday night game is not locked either. The league can flex Sunday night up to twice across Weeks 5 to 10, and it confirms any change at least 12 days out.

Teams on Bye in Week 9
Two teams are off: the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tennessee Titans.
Week 9 is one of the three lightest bye weeks of 2026, alongside Week 5 and Week 14. Only two rosters lose starters, so fantasy football managers get an easy lineup week. Save the deeper waiver work for Week 11, when six teams sit out. That is the heaviest bye week of the season.
