Broncos vs. Cardinals: Where to Watch the Game
Broncos vs. Cardinals: Where to Watch the Game
The first thing to check when looking for the Broncos vs. Cardinals game is whether your TV provider lists it on a local CBS station. NFL Sunday afternoon games are distributed by market, so a service that works for a fan in Arizona may not show the same live game in another part of the United States. The official team listings identify CBS as the television channel for this Week 7 matchup, while the streaming route depends on whether you are in the game’s local market.

Denver visited Arizona at State Farm Stadium in Glendale on Sunday, October 25, 2026. The Cardinals’ official guide listed kickoff at 1:05 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST, UTC−07:00); the Broncos’ guide listed 2:05 p.m. Mountain Time. Those labels refer to the same kickoff. On that date, Denver was on Mountain Daylight Time (MDT, UTC−06:00), while Arizona remained on MST. The corresponding time was 20:05 UTC, or 4:05 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC−04:00).

Live TV: start with your local CBS listing
The Cardinals and Broncos both listed CBS for the game. That does not mean every CBS station nationwide carried it: NFL Sunday afternoon broadcasts are assigned by market. Before kickoff, the most reliable check was the local TV guide for the ZIP code where you planned to watch. Denver’s official watch page also directs fans to the NFL Game Guide to look up the game by ZIP code. If you use cable, satellite, or an antenna, confirm the local CBS channel and the program schedule rather than relying on a national channel number.
The teams listed Kevin Harlan on play-by-play, Trent Green as analyst, and Melanie Collins on the sideline. Those names can help confirm that the listing is the Broncos-Cardinals telecast when a provider’s guide shows several games or generic football programming. A local listing can still vary by provider, so check the schedule on the day of the broadcast if you are arranging a watch party or recording the game.
Live streaming in the United States
If you are in the local market
The Broncos’ official guide lists Paramount+ for local streaming and NFL+ for live local games on mobile devices. NFL+’s live local and prime-time regular-season coverage is for phones and tablets; do not assume that a phone-only stream can be sent to a television or used in a TV app. The Cardinals’ guide likewise says NFL+ live streaming is available to viewers in market. The precise stream can depend on location access and the service’s current device rules.
If the game does not appear, check that the app has the location permission it requests, confirm the ZIP code or device location matches the market where you are watching, and revisit the provider’s local schedule. This is more useful than switching randomly among services, because the local-market restriction is the key reason a stream may not show the game.
If you are outside the local market
For the live Sunday afternoon broadcast outside the teams’ local markets, Denver’s team guide lists NFL Sunday Ticket through YouTube or YouTube TV. Check the current NFL Sunday Ticket coverage and subscription terms before purchasing; the local CBS option and an out-of-market package serve different viewing situations. NFL+ is not a substitute for out-of-market live video of a regular-season Sunday afternoon game on a television.
Viewers outside the United States should check NFL Game Pass International through DAZN, the international option identified by the teams and NFL support. Availability and product terms vary by country, so confirm the local DAZN listing for the game instead of assuming U.S. services are available abroad.
Watching after the telecast
If you are looking for the game after its live broadcast, NFL says NFL+ Premium includes full-game and condensed replays of current-season games shortly after the telecast ends. The service lists a few ways to find a replay: on NFL.com, open the Watch menu and choose Game Replays; in the NFL app, open NFL+ and select Replays; on a connected TV, open the Games tab. Then choose the Broncos-Cardinals game. A Premium subscription is required for replays, and NFL+ is available in the United States but not U.S. territories.
For current game status, the NFL’s official game center is the best place to check the event page. It identifies State Farm Stadium in Glendale and provides the league’s game hub. Check there before searching a replay catalog if the telecast may still be in progress; replay availability begins after the broadcast concludes and can take a short time to appear.
Radio and a final viewing check
If video is unavailable, the Cardinals listed ESPN Radio nationally and Arizona Sports 98.7 FM for local audio. The Broncos listed ESPN Radio nationally and KOA 850 AM/94.1 FM locally in Denver. These are audio options, not TV streams, and the local station signal depends on where you are. For a game-specific station near you, use the teams’ broadcast pages or your radio provider’s schedule.
Before settling in, match four details: the event is Denver at Arizona; the date is October 25, 2026; the scheduled venue is State Farm Stadium in Glendale; and the local TV channel is CBS where the game is assigned in your market. Use the correct time-zone line—1:05 p.m. MST in Glendale, 2:05 p.m. MDT in Denver, or 20:05 UTC—and confirm the local channel or streaming eligibility for your ZIP code. After the telecast, use NFL+ Premium’s replay listing if you want the full game or condensed version.
