Week 15 brings good news for Green Bay Packers fans across most of the United States, at least those who are hoping to watch the Packers’ game against the Denver Broncos from home. Aside from the Pacific coast, nearly every media market across the USA will get to see Packers-Broncos on their local TV channels, with this week’s game being televised on CBS in the late afternoon window.
This week’s game is a 3:25 PM Central Time kickoff due to Denver being in the Mountain Time Zone. CBS has one other game in that time slot as well, the Indianapolis Colts-Seattle Seahawks matchup, which means that fans in most NFC West and AFC South markets will see that game instead. Otherwise, it’s all Packers-Broncos across the rest of the country on Sunday afternoon.
Here’s a look at the 506sports.com broadcast map for CBS’ late game schedule, which shows Packers-Broncos in red and Colts-Seahawks in blue:
Note that the Hawaii market is scheduled to see Packers-Broncos, but Alaska is set up for Colts-Seahawks, instead.
Fans tuning into Packers-Broncos will hear CBS’ top broadcast team, with Jim Nantz on play-by-play and Tony Romo as the color commentator.
Additionally, Week 15 is a rare Sunday in which both major networks show games in both time slots. That means that although there are five games taking place in that late afternoon window, two of them will be available in every media market, one each on CBS and FOX. FOX’s late schedule has a clear leader as well, as the Detroit Lions visit the Los Angeles Rams in yet another Jared Goff vs. Matthew Stafford matchup.
That Lions-Rams game will be on FOX in the state of Wisconsin, allowing Packers fans to check in on their divisional rivals periodically. Early games on across Wisconsin are Bills-Patriots on CBS and Browns-Bears on FOX.
