CBS Sunday Schedule in November 2026: How to Check Local Listings

Verified November 6, 2026, at 9:04 a.m. UTC.

CBS viewers should check their local listings before making Sunday plans in November: NFL games vary by market, and live coverage can affect the start of programs that follow. For Sunday, November 8, the NFL lists several games on CBS, including Houston at the Los Angeles Chargers. That does not mean every CBS station will show the same game or experience a delay.

At the time of this check, a nationwide change to the entire CBS Sunday lineup could not be confirmed. The most useful next step is to look up the specific Sunday, station and program you want to watch, then check again closer to airtime.

Destaques

• November 2026 has five Sundays: November 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29. Check the date you actually need.
• The NFL on CBS matchup available to you depends on your local television market.
• Live sports overruns can push later programs back, but a delay should not be assumed in advance.
• For live streaming, Paramount+ plan features differ: check whether your plan includes your local CBS station.

What is on CBS this Sunday, November 8?

The NFL's Week 9 guide lists multiple Sunday games on CBS. One example is Houston Texans at Los Angeles Chargers, scheduled for November 8 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, at 1:05 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (UTC−08:00), or 9:05 p.m. UTC. The game is also listed at 4:05 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (UTC−05:00).

That is a scheduled kickoff, not a promise that the matchup will appear on every local CBS station. CBS's streaming service explains that stations may carry different regional games. Your station's listing is the practical check for what is scheduled in your area.

For entertainment and news programs, look up each title separately on the date you want. CBS identifies 60 Minutes as a Sunday program, but its general show page alone does not establish the start time in every market on every November Sunday. A listing may also distinguish a new episode from a repeat or special presentation.

How do I check my local CBS schedule?

1. Identify your station. Find the CBS affiliate serving your ZIP code in your TV provider's guide or by searching for your local CBS station. Make sure the guide is set to your actual location.
2. Choose the right Sunday. Open the station's schedule or your provider's on-screen guide and select November 8, 15, 22 or 29, as needed. November 1 has already passed at the time of this check.
3. Find the program and time. Search the show name or scroll through the day's listings. Note the station, scheduled start, episode description and time zone shown by the guide.
4. Check again on Sunday. Revisit the listing and your station's announcements, especially if a live game is airing before your show. A listing is a plan and can change.

CBS also provides an online TV schedule. Check which location or station it is displaying before relying on a time: a listing for another city may not match your affiliate. If the network page and your provider's guide differ, consult your local station directly for its latest information.

Why can CBS Sunday start times change?

Live football does not always end at an exact time. If a game runs long, the station's subsequent programming can start later than scheduled. Breaking news or a station-specific programming decision can also affect what appears in a local guide. These are possible causes, not confirmation that a particular November broadcast has been moved.

Regional game assignments matter too. According to Paramount+'s guide to local NFL coverage, the CBS matchup available in one television market may differ from the one shown in another. Someone else's social media post about a game or delay is therefore a useful prompt to check, but it is not a reliable local schedule.

When a game is still on near your show's listed start, watch for an announcement from your station or CBS. The length of any overrun and its effect on later programs cannot be known until the live broadcast unfolds. Do not assume a show is canceled simply because it has not started at its listed time.

Can I watch the local CBS schedule on Paramount+?

Paramount+ says its Premium plan includes access to a live local CBS station where available. Its Essential plan does not otherwise include the full live local station, but it does include live NFL on CBS games available in the subscriber's market. See the service's CBS viewing guide for plan details and current availability.

If you use the live local station feed, check the same local schedule you would use for the broadcast station. If you plan to watch an episode later, confirm that the specific program is available on demand: Paramount+ says current CBS episodes generally become available the day after broadcast, though availability varies by program.

What should I do if I record a Sunday show?

First, confirm that the recording is set for the correct CBS affiliate and date. If your DVR offers an option to extend the recording, consider adding time when a live game precedes the show. There is no guaranteed extension that covers every overrun, so check the guide and the recording afterward. If the episode is incomplete, look for an available on-demand version or a later airing in your local listings.

For the remaining Sundays in November, repeat the check for each week rather than copying one week's times. Future schedules and regional game assignments may change, and the presence of a game does not by itself establish a delay.

FAQ

Does every city get the same NFL game on CBS?

No. CBS game assignments can differ by television market. Check your local station or the NFL's location-based viewing guide.

Does a football overrun mean 60 Minutes is canceled?

Not necessarily. A live game can delay later programming, but the outcome depends on the broadcast and station. Check your local listing and station announcements.

Can I watch my local CBS station live with Paramount+ Essential?

Essential does not include the full live local CBS station. Paramount+ says it does include eligible live NFL on CBS games shown in your local market.
