Okay, so, I’ve been trying to figure out this whole FOX football coverage map thing for the NFL, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey. I just wanted to watch my games, you know? Simple as that. But it turned into this whole ordeal.
First off, I went straight to the source, or what I thought was the source. I figured if it’s FOX, then or their app, the FOX Sports App, would have everything I need. And they do have games, but it’s not as straightforward as I hoped. You can stream games there, but which games? That’s the big question.
Then, there’s this NFL+ thing. I subscribed, thinking, “Great, now I’ll get all the games!” Nope. It’s got live local and primetime games, which is cool, but it didn’t solve my problem of figuring out which games are where.
Digging Deeper
So, I started looking around more. I found out that these coverage maps are a big deal. Apparently, 506 Sports is the place to go. They have these color-coded maps showing which games are airing where on the major networks. That was a big help, a real game-changer for me.
But even with these maps, it’s still kind of confusing. You’ve got early games, late games, games on CBS, games on FOX, and then there are these blackout policies. It’s a lot to keep track of.
My “Aha!” Moment
Here’s what I finally figured out. Those coverage maps from 506 Sports are crucial. They tell you exactly which games are being shown in your area. So, I started checking those religiously. Then, to double-check, I’d look at my local CBS station’s schedule, because they also show NFL games. It’s a bit of work, but it’s the only way to be sure.
- Check the 506 Sports coverage maps.
- Look at your local CBS station’s schedule.
- Cross-reference and hope for the best.
And for those games on FOX, sometimes you can watch them on their website or app, but it depends on your location and the game. It’s like a puzzle, honestly.
So, that’s my story. It’s not perfect, but I’ve gotten better at navigating this whole NFL coverage map thing. It took some time, a bit of frustration, and a lot of trial and error, but now I’m pretty good at figuring out where to watch my games. It’s still more complicated than it should be, in my opinion, but hey, that’s football, right?
Now, I can enjoy the game, and I hope you can enjoy the game too.
