The Baltimore Ravens live stream and TV schedule for 2026 has several team-specific broadcast twists. Baltimore’s first four games are all on CBS, including the NFL’s first game in Rio de Janeiro against Dallas.
The Ravens then move into four confirmed prime-time appearances across NBC, Prime Video and ESPN, with another Prime Video game against Cincinnati on New Year’s Eve. Week 18 against Pittsburgh remains unassigned.

CBS Owns the First Month of Ravens Football
Baltimore has an unusually consistent television setup to begin 2026.
Each of the Ravens’ first four regular-season games is scheduled for CBS, with Paramount+ also listed by the team for those local CBS broadcasts.
The run starts with:
- Week 1: Ravens at Indianapolis Colts — CBS
- Week 2: New Orleans Saints at Ravens — CBS
- Week 3: Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys in Rio — CBS
- Week 4: Tennessee Titans at Ravens — CBS
The first two games kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET. Baltimore-Dallas moves to the late 4:25 p.m. ET CBS window, before the Ravens return to a 1:00 p.m. kickoff against Tennessee.
For Baltimore-area viewers, this makes local CBS access particularly important during September and early October.
Ravens vs. Cowboys in Rio Is on CBS and Paramount+
The biggest broadcast departure from Baltimore’s normal schedule comes in Week 3.
The Ravens face the Dallas Cowboys at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, September 27 at 4:25 p.m. ET.
The game will air on CBS, stream through Paramount+ where eligible, and is also listed by the NFL with NFL+ mobile access in the United States.
It will be the first regular-season NFL game ever played in Rio de Janeiro. The league’s previous Brazil games were held in São Paulo.
For Ravens fans, the broadcast is relatively simple despite the unusual location. This is not an NFL Network international game or a streaming-exclusive matchup—the US national network is CBS.
The game starts at 5:25 p.m. local time in Rio, one hour ahead of the Eastern Time kickoff.
It is also Baltimore’s third international regular-season appearance after two previous trips to London.

Four Ravens Games Are Initially Scheduled for Prime Time
Baltimore currently has four prime-time games, with two at M&T Bank Stadium and two on the road.
The four national night games are:
- Ravens at Falcons — NBC
- Jaguars at Ravens — Prime Video
- Chargers at Ravens — ESPN
- Ravens at Bengals — Prime Video
What makes the schedule more interesting is how those games are positioned.
Baltimore’s Week 9 and Week 10 prime-time appearances are consecutive home games, while its final night game is an AFC North matchup played on New Year’s Eve.
Ravens at Falcons Is Sunday Night Football
The first prime-time appearance comes in Week 5.
Baltimore visits the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, October 11 at 8:20 p.m. ET.
The game is scheduled for NBC, with Peacock also listed on the Ravens’ official schedule.
This is Baltimore’s first game of the season outside the CBS afternoon schedule.
For out-of-market Ravens fans, Sunday Ticket is not needed because NBC distributes the matchup nationally.
The Falcons game is followed by road and home divisional games against Cleveland and Cincinnati before Baltimore travels to Buffalo.
Ravens-Bills is a 1:00 p.m. CBS Game, Not Prime Time
One of the more surprising television decisions involves Baltimore’s Week 8 trip to Buffalo.
The Ravens visit the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, November 1 at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS. It will be Baltimore’s first visit to the Bills’ new Highmark Stadium.
Despite the matchup’s national appeal, it was not initially selected for a prime-time window.
That distinction matters for viewers outside Baltimore and Buffalo. Because it is a Sunday afternoon CBS game, regional distribution applies.
If your local CBS affiliate carries another game, NFL Sunday Ticket is the relevant US out-of-market option rather than NBC, ESPN or Prime Video.
Jaguars-Ravens Is Thursday Night Football on Prime Video
Baltimore’s schedule changes quickly after the Buffalo trip.
Four days later, the Ravens host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday, November 5 at 8:15 p.m. ET.
The game is scheduled exclusively in the national Thursday Night Football window on Prime Video.
This is the first of two Prime Video games involving Baltimore in 2026.
It also starts back-to-back prime-time home games at M&T Bank Stadium.
Chargers at Ravens Gets Monday Night Football
Baltimore remains home for its next game, but the network changes again.
The Los Angeles Chargers visit the Ravens on Monday, November 16 at 8:15 p.m. ET, with the matchup scheduled for ESPN Monday Night Football.
The Ravens’ schedule release notes that this will be the franchise’s 34th Monday Night Football game and its 11th scheduled MNF game in Baltimore.
From a streaming perspective, Baltimore moves directly from:
Prime Video vs. Jacksonville → ESPN vs. Los Angeles
These are nationally televised games, so Sunday Ticket does not factor into either matchup.
CBS Carries Nine Confirmed Ravens Games
CBS has by far the largest portion of Baltimore’s current regular-season television schedule.
Nine games are presently assigned to CBS:
- at Colts
- vs. Saints
- vs. Cowboys in Rio
- vs. Titans
- vs. Bengals
- at Bills
- at Texans
- at Steelers
- vs. Browns
The Ravens’ official viewing information says local CBS games can be watched through the local affiliate or streamed through Paramount+ when that game is available in the viewer’s local market.
That does not make Paramount+ an out-of-market package. If CBS in your area is showing another Sunday game, Sunday Ticket remains the appropriate option for eligible out-of-market coverage.
FOX Has Only Three Confirmed Ravens Games
FOX plays a much smaller role for Baltimore than CBS this season.
The three currently assigned FOX games are:
- Week 6: Ravens at Browns
- Week 11: Ravens at Panthers
- Week 14: Buccaneers at Ravens
That network split is useful when choosing a live TV service specifically for Ravens games: CBS matters much more frequently than FOX on the published 2026 schedule.
New Year’s Eve Ravens-Bengals is on Prime Video
Baltimore’s final confirmed prime-time game is also one of its most unusual dates.
The Ravens visit the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday, December 31 at 8:15 p.m. ET.
The New Year’s Eve AFC North matchup is scheduled for Prime Video.
It is Baltimore’s second Thursday Night Football game after Jacksonville in Week 9.
The Bengals matchup also comes during an AFC North-heavy finish.
Baltimore closes with four consecutive divisional opponents:
- Week 15: at Steelers
- Week 16: vs. Browns
- Week 17: at Bengals
- Week 18: vs. Steelers
That is the first time the Ravens have finished with four straight AFC North games since the NFL realigned its divisions in 2002.
How to Watch Ravens Games Outside Baltimore
Out-of-market Ravens fans mainly need to think about the team’s CBS and FOX Sunday afternoon games.
NFL Sunday Ticket is the US option for eligible Sunday afternoon games that are not being shown by your local affiliate. The NFL specifically identifies Sunday Ticket as the out-of-market solution for those games.
It does not replace Baltimore’s national broadcasts.
For 2026, those include:
- Falcons-Ravens: NBC / Peacock
- Jaguars-Ravens: Prime Video
- Chargers-Ravens: ESPN
- Ravens-Bengals: Prime Video
The Rio game is also different because CBS and Paramount+ have the announced US broadcast despite the game being played internationally.
What Baltimore-Area Cord-Cutters Actually Need
The Ravens’ official viewing guide reflects the team’s real 2026 network mix.
Local CBS games are available through CBS and eligible Paramount+ access. FOX carries the three assigned FOX games. NBC handles Sunday Night Football, ESPN carries Monday Night Football, and Prime Video carries Thursday Night Football.
For someone inside Baltimore’s market, the most useful setup therefore emphasizes:
CBS/Paramount+ + FOX + NBC/Peacock + ESPN + Prime Video
NFL+ can provide live local and prime-time games on supported phones and tablets, but the NFL says those live games cannot be cast to a television.
How to Watch Ravens Games in the UK
UK Ravens fans can use NFL Game Pass on DAZN, which provides every regular-season NFL game plus postseason coverage.
Sky Sports NFL also carries extensive live NFL coverage, including Sunday, Monday and Thursday night windows.
For a fan who specifically wants every Baltimore game—including regional CBS games that may not receive a standalone UK television selection—Game Pass provides the more complete option.
The Rio game starts at 9:25 p.m. UK time on September 27 based on its announced 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
How to Watch Ravens Games in Canada
Canadian fans can use NFL Game Pass on DAZN for full-season NFL access.
CTV carries weekly Sunday afternoon NFL games, while TSN provides Canada’s prime-time coverage, including Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football and Thursday Night Football. RDS carries French-language Sunday and prime-time coverage.
That makes TSN particularly relevant to Baltimore’s Falcons, Jaguars, Chargers and Bengals prime-time games, while DAZN provides the simpler route for following the full Ravens schedule.
