What channels do you need to watch the Baltimore Ravens?

Every scheduled Baltimore Ravens regular season game in 2026 airs on CBS, FOX, NBC, Prime Video, or ESPN — nine games on CBS, three on FOX, and one on NBC. The three premium games are Week 9 against Jacksonville and Week 17 at Cincinnati, both Thursday nights on Prime Video, and Week 10 against the Chargers on Monday night on ESPN. Week 18 against Pittsburgh has not been assigned a network yet.

Two games have a second way to watch at no extra cost: the nine CBS games simulcast on Paramount+, and the Week 5 game at Atlanta simulcasts on Peacock alongside NBC. Week 3 against Dallas is played at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro and still airs on CBS at its regular 4:25 p.m. ET slot.

Here’s the full schedule with the channel for each game.

What it costs to watch every Baltimore Ravens game

The Ravens play three “premium” games this season — two on Prime Video and one on ESPN. Subscribing to both platforms can cost you $179.92 for the season, or only $59.97 if you subscribe and cancel around each game. Every other scheduled Ravens game is on CBS, FOX, or NBC.

Where you’re watching What you need
In the Baltimore market, with cable or live TV already Prime Video for the two Thursday games — your existing service already carries CBS, FOX, NBC, and ESPN
In the Baltimore market, starting from scratch A live TV streaming service carrying local CBS, FOX, and NBC (Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or DIRECTV Stream), which also includes ESPN — plus Prime Video
Outside the Baltimore market NFL Sunday Ticket via YouTube TV, which includes ESPN — plus Prime Video

Sunday afternoon games are assigned by region, so CBS and FOX show different matchups depending on where you live. If you’re outside Maryland, your local channels will usually be carrying another team, which is why out-of-market fans need Sunday Ticket to get every Ravens game.

Here's what each premium platform costs and which teams it carries.

NFL premium game costs

Premium games are the ones whose broadcast rights have been bought by streaming platforms: Monday and Thursday night matchups, international games, and holiday matchups.

Platform Monthly Full season Teams with games on it
ESPN Unlimited $31.99 $127.96 All except the Cardinals, Browns, Colts, Raiders, Dolphins, Jets, and Titans
Prime Video $14.99 $59.96 All except the Cardinals, Raiders, Dolphins, Jets, Titans, and Saints
NFL Network / NFL+ $6.99 $27.96 Falcons, Bengals, Texans, Colts, Jaguars, Saints, Eagles, Steelers, Commanders
Netflix $8.99 $35.96 Bills, Bears, Broncos, Packers, Rams, 49ers
NFL Sunday Ticket + YouTube TV — $609.95 new
$792.95 returning
Any team, for out-of-market viewers

Full-season figures cover the four months of the regular season. Ten of the 17 Monday Night Games are also simulcast free on ABC, so an ESPN subscription isn't always necessary. Check your team's schedule above, and learn more in our NFL cost guide.

Watching out-of-market games

The NFL makes it challenging to watch your favorite team if you don't live close to its home market. If you're a Baltimore Ravens fan outside of Maryland, here are two ways to watch out-of-market games:

Subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket

NFL Sunday Ticket lets fans watch out-of-market games that aren’t broadcast on their local channels. This service is perfect for fans living outside the local area.

This option is sold through YouTube and YouTube TV, and new users have two pricing options:

  • NFL Sunday Ticket + YouTube TV: $240/yr (+ $67.99/mo for YouTube TV for your first 3 months, then $82.99/mo)
  • NFL Sunday Ticket only: $240/yr

Use a VPN

A virtual private network (VPN) masks your IP address by routing your connection through a server in another location. This can help with geographic restrictions, although it doesn't guarantee access to blacked-out NFL games.

Surfshark is a strong option for NFL fans, with 600+ U.S. servers across 24 cities in 19 states. It also supports unlimited simultaneous device connections, so you can use it across your phones, computers, and compatible smart TVs without juggling subscriptions.

Surfshark also offers GPS spoofing on Android, a feature most competing VPNs lack. This helps match your device's GPS location to your VPN server, which can be useful for streaming services that check both. See our guide on how to change your YouTube TV location for step-by-step instructions.

Bottom line

If you’re in the Baltimore market, most of the season costs you nothing beyond the TV service you already have: 13 of the 16 scheduled games are on CBS, FOX, or NBC, and the nine CBS games also stream on Paramount+. The three exceptions are Weeks 9 and 17 on Prime Video and Week 10 on ESPN.

Outside Maryland, your local CBS and FOX affiliates will be carrying other teams most Sundays, so NFL Sunday Ticket through YouTube TV is the only way to get every game.

Week 18 against Pittsburgh still doesn’t have a network assigned, and the NFL can move games into prime time late in the season, so it’s worth checking back before that week.

FAQs

What streaming service is the Ravens game on?

Nine of the Ravens' 16 scheduled games are on CBS, which streams on Paramount+ or on any live TV service carrying your local CBS affiliate — Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or DIRECTV Stream. Three games are on FOX and one on NBC, which also simulcasts on Peacock.

The three exceptions need their own subscriptions: Weeks 9 and 17 are on Prime Video, and Week 10 is on ESPN.

What channel is the Ravens game on today?

CBS carries most Ravens games this season — nine of the 16 scheduled — with three on FOX and one on NBC. The three premium games are Week 9 against Jacksonville and Week 17 at Cincinnati on Prime Video, and Week 10 against the Chargers on ESPN.

The Week 18 game against Pittsburgh hasn't been assigned a network yet. Check the schedule table above for the specific game you're looking for.

How can I watch the Ravens game on CBS?

Paramount+ carries your local CBS affiliate and is the cheapest way to get the Ravens' nine CBS games. Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and DIRECTV Stream all carry CBS and get you the FOX and NBC games.

Sling TV does not carry CBS, so it won't work for most of the Ravens' schedule.

Does Peacock have Ravens games?

Yes, one. The Week 5 game at Atlanta on October 11 airs on NBC and is simulcast on Peacock, so a Peacock subscription will get you that game without a live TV service.

It's the Ravens' only NBC game this season. Week 18 has no network assigned yet, so that could change if the NFL moves it to Sunday night.

How can I watch the Baltimore Ravens out of market?

NFL Sunday Ticket through YouTube TV is the only service that carries every out-of-market Ravens game, at $609.95 for new subscribers or $792.95 for returning subscribers. Nationally televised games — Week 5 on NBC, Weeks 9 and 17 on Prime Video, and Week 10 on ESPN — are available everywhere without it.

A VPN can also help you reach a broadcast in another region.

How can I watch the Baltimore Ravens game for free?

CBS, FOX, and NBC are free over the air, so with an antenna in the Baltimore market, 13 of the Ravens' 16 scheduled games cost nothing. Fubo, YouTube TV, and DIRECTV Stream all run free trials that can cover a game or two.

The two Prime Video games and the ESPN game always require a paid subscription.
