How to Watch NFL Week 6 2026
CBS, FOX, NBC and ABC carry 12 of the 14 games for free over the air. Two sit behind subscriptions: Thursday night on Prime Video and the Wembley game on NFL Network.
| PLATFORM | WEEK 6 COVERAGE |
|---|---|
| FOX | Five Sunday games |
| CBS and Paramount+ | Five Sunday games. Paramount+ streams your local CBS station |
| NBC and Peacock | Sunday Night Football, subject to flex |
| ESPN and ABC | Monday Night Football, simulcast free over the air on ABC |
| Prime Video | Thursday night, Seahawks at Broncos |
| NFL Network | The Wembley game at 9:30 a.m. ET |
| NFL Sunday Ticket | Out of market Sunday afternoon games on YouTube |
Cord cutters can reach both paid channels through YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo or DirecTV Stream. NFL+ streams local and prime time games on phone and tablet, and RedZone runs about $40 for the season as an add on.
Two of the 1:00 p.m. games break the usual network split. Ravens at Browns and Titans at Colts are both AFC matchups but air on FOX, while the all NFC Panthers at Eagles goes to CBS. The league cross flexes a handful of games each season to balance how many each network gets, so check the channel column rather than assuming AFC means CBS.
One planning note. Sunday night flex scheduling is live from Week 5 through Week 13, so the 8:20 p.m. game can still be swapped with 12 days notice. Monday night flex does not begin until Week 12.
NFL Week 6 Schedule 2026 FAQ
When is NFL Week 6 in 2026?
NFL Week 6 runs from Thursday, October 15 through Monday, October 19, 2026. It opens with Seattle at Denver on Thursday night and closes with Washington at San Francisco on Monday night.
How many games are in NFL Week 6 2026?
There are 14 games and 28 teams play. Four teams are on bye, one more than any earlier week, so Week 6 has the shortest slate of the season to this point. One game is Thursday, 12 are Sunday and one is Monday.
Which teams are on bye in Week 6 2026?
Cincinnati, Detroit, Miami and Minnesota. This is the first four team bye of the 2026 season, after Carolina and Kansas City were the only teams off in Week 5.
Which Week 6 game is played in London?
Houston plays Jacksonville at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, October 18. Kickoff is 9:30 a.m. ET, which is 2:30 p.m. in London, and NFL Network carries it. It is the third and final NFL London game of 2026, and Jacksonville’s second in eight days after hosting Philadelphia at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Week 5.
Why are two AFC games on FOX in Week 6?
Ravens at Browns and Titans at Colts are both AFC matchups yet air on FOX, and the all NFC Panthers at Eagles airs on CBS. The NFL cross flexes a small number of games each season so the networks end up with a balanced number of broadcasts. Check the TV column rather than assuming AFC always means CBS.
What time do Week 6 Sunday games start in each time zone?
The Wembley game kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET, which is 8:30 a.m. CT, 7:30 a.m. MT and 6:30 a.m. PT. Regular early games start at 1:00 p.m. ET, the late window has one game at 4:05 p.m. and two at 4:25 p.m. ET, and Sunday Night Football starts at 8:20 p.m. ET.
Can Week 6 kickoff times still change?
Only the Sunday night game. Flexible scheduling runs from Week 5 through Week 13 with at least 12 days notice, so the NFL can move an afternoon game into the 8:20 p.m. ET slot or move the scheduled one out. Everything else in Week 6 is fixed, because Monday night flex does not start until Week 12 and Thursday night flex until Week 13.
How can I watch NFL Week 6 2026 without cable?
A digital antenna picks up CBS, FOX, NBC and ABC for free, which covers 12 of the 14 games. Two need a subscription: the Thursday game on Prime Video and the Wembley game on NFL Network. YouTube TV, Hulu plus Live TV, Fubo and DirecTV Stream carry both.
The NFL Week 6 Schedule 2026 delivers 14 games, the first four team bye of the season and the last London kickoff of the year. Every date, time and channel above is checked against the official NFL Week 6 schedule, with the Sunday night slot the only one that can still move.
