Every Game Now Tells You Where To Watch It

You have done this. It is Sunday, your flex is a coin flip, and you have three tabs open trying to work out whether the Bengals game is the one on CBS or the one you are not getting. The site knew the answer the whole time. It has known which network carries every game since the Sunday Ticket board launched — it just refused to mention it anywhere else.

So now it mentions it. The NFL games rail on Live Scoring draws the network's actual mark beside the clock on every card, and the opponent line on Set Lineup does the same thing next to the “@ BUF” — in the slots and on the bench, and it stays there when you swap a player instead of quietly disappearing on you. The game-day hero on your homepage was already naming the channel in plain text; it draws the logo now too.

Here is the part that matters if you don't live in America. It is not the American channel with a flag next to it. It is your channel. The site asks the Sunday Ticket board's mapping the same question it always has — what carries this game where this person is — and a Thursday night game reads Prime Video in Seattle, DAZN in Toronto and Kayo in Perth. It comes from the country on your preferences page, which most of you set months ago and have not thought about since. If you never set one, you get the American answer, which is exactly what you were getting before, which is to say nothing has been taken away from anybody.

Two honest limits. A network with no logo on file gets its name in text instead of a broken image — that is deliberate, and it is why the Sunday afternoon doubleheader reads “CBS/FOX” until the league splits it. And a game more than a week out has no network yet, because the NFL has not assigned one; those cards simply don't show a badge rather than showing an empty one. Best Ball's Live Scoring page got the rail treatment too.
