Which NFL games will air on Thanksgiving?
Week 12 of the 2023 NFL season begins with three exciting Thanksgiving football games.
Read on to learn how to watch every game, whether you have a cable subscription or local reception.
How to watch the NFL Thanksgiving games without cable
While most cable packages include Fox, CBS, and NBC, it’s easy to watch the Thanksgiving NFL games if those channels aren’t included in your cable subscription or if you don’t have cable at all.
Below are the best ways to watch the games.
Stream the Washington Commanders vs. Dallas Cowboys game on Paramount+
You can watch the Washington Commanders vs. Dallas Cowboys game on Thursday, November 23 at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT) on CBS or stream the game on Paramount+.
If you don’t have a cable TV package that includes CBS, a subscription to Paramount+ is one of the easiest ways to watch all NFL games live on CBS. The streamer offers access to all NFL games broadcast locally and nationally on CBS under all subscription levels. Additionally, you can watch top-tier soccer like the Champions League live and SEC college football games, as well as popular shows like “Survivor” and “NCIS.”
Paramount+ Black Friday deal: The Paramount+ Black Friday deal is now available. Get Paramount+ Essential for $1.99/month for 3 months ($59.99 billed annually). Or get Paramount+ with SHOWTIME for $3.99/month for 3 months ($119.99 billed annually).
This limited time offer ends December 3, 2023. This Black Friday offer is only available to new and former subscribers.
Or get one month of Paramount+ free
Good news: There are not one, but two Paramount+ deals to help you take advantage of this Black Friday season. Currently, you can get your first month of Paramount+ free when you use the code STREAMNFL. Note that you won’t be able to take advantage of both Black Friday streaming deals – you’ll have to choose one.
Note: CBS Essentials and Paramount+ are both subsidiaries of Paramount.
