Frequently asked questions about watching Broncos games
Can I watch Broncos on CBS and Paramount+?
Yes. When scheduled and when airing on your local CBS TV station, you can watch the Broncos on CBS and Paramount+. Currently, NFL on CBS is scheduled to present nine Broncos games during the 2026 season.
Do I need cable to watch Broncos?
The answer as to whether you need cable to watch the Broncos is: Not necessarily. When Broncos games are presented by the NFL on CBS, and carried by your local CBS station, then, no, you don’t need cable. You can watch those games on your TV using a digital antenna, satellite service, or live-TV streaming service. And when you subscribe to Paramount+, you can stream those games live on your smart TV or device.
You also don’t need cable when Broncos games are carried by ABC/ESPN, FOX, and/or NBC/Peacock. Those games can be watched on local TV stations using a digital antenna, satellite service, or live-TV streaming service, or by streaming them on the companion streaming service (i.e., Peacock for NBC games).
Broncos games, if any, carried by NFL Network can be watched using satellite service or live-TV streaming service, and Broncos games, if any, carried by Netflix or Prime can be watched on those streaming services (with subscriptions). Additionally, if the Broncos are your local-market team, then Broncos games presented by the NFL Network, Netflix, and Prime, can be watched, using a digital antenna, satellite service, or live-TV streaming service, on the Broncos’ local broadcast-TV affiliate.
