The NFL coverage map has been released for your Week 9 TV viewing pleasure. On Sunday, CBS will once again only broadcast one NFL game depending on what area of the map you find yourself in. FOX, however, will air both an early-afternoon and late-afternoon game. With just four teams on a bye in Week 9, we have a slightly more sedated afternoon slate than usual.
NFL Coverage Map for Week 9
NFL TV broadcast and coverage maps are courtesy of 506sports.com. The color codes and what games they correspond to are listed below. Listings include CBS, FOX, and prime-time games on NFL Network, NBC, and ESPN. These maps are subject to change throughout the week.

The CBS coverage this week will be split reasonably evenly between their games this week. The majority of the country will once again see an AFC North showdown, this time between the Browns and Bengals. These AFC North battles are not always the most high-octane games, but they are almost always entertaining in terms of being in the balance late into the fourth quarter.
FOX Early NFL TV Broadcast Coverage Map
Red: Denver Broncos @ Dallas Cowboys
Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen
Unsurprisingly, the majority of the country will see “America’s Team” host the Broncos. The Cowboys have been one of the most entertaining teams to watch this year. While this game might not be particularly close, the Cowboys’ offense is must-watch television in 2021.
Blue: Minnesota Vikings @ Baltimore Ravens
Adam Amin and Mark Schlereth
Green: Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints
Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma
Yellow: Houston Texans @ Miami Dolphins
Chris Myers and Daryl Johnston
FOX Late NFL TV Broadcast Coverage Map
Red: Green Bay Packers @ Kansas City Chiefs
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman
The NFL’s Game of the Week had garnered a lot of excitement as a potential Super Bowl preview. However, some of the excitement has gone out of the game with the news that Aaron Rodgers will not play after testing positive for COVID-19 this week. Instead, Buck and Aikman will be calling Jordan Love’s first NFL start as he takes on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
Blue: Arizona Cardinals @ San Francisco 49ers
