Frequently asked questions about watching Jets games
Can I watch the Jets on CBS and Paramount+?
Yes. When scheduled, and when airing on your local CBS TV station, you can watch the Jets on CBS and Paramount+. Currently, NFL on CBS is scheduled to present 11 Jets games during the 2026 season.
Do I need cable to watch the Jets?
The answer as to whether you need cable to watch the Jets is: Not necessarily. When Jets 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 Jets 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).
Jets games, if any, carried by NFL Network can be watched using satellite service or live-TV streaming service, and Jets games, if any, carried by Netflix or Prime can be watched on those streaming services (with subscriptions). Additionally, if the Jets are your local-market team, then Jets 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 Jets’ local broadcast-TV affiliate.
