What channel is Packers vs. Patriots on?

FOX is televising the matchup. In the Boston area, the Patriots list WFXT Channel 25 as the local station. Elsewhere, check your television guide or provider's local FOX listing to see whether Packers–Patriots is the game being shown where you are. A FOX station may carry a different regional matchup in the same window.

The Patriots' broadcast guide lists Kevin Burkhardt on play-by-play, Tom Brady as analyst, and Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi reporting from the sidelines. Viewers who receive their local FOX station over the air can check their antenna reception before kickoff; cable and live-TV customers should check that their package includes the station.

Can you stream Packers vs. Patriots without cable?

Yes, depending on your location and subscription. FOX One lists the game among its Week 9 offerings and says regional availability and other restrictions apply. Check the available game and subscription terms for your location before signing up. FOX also says eligible TV-provider subscribers can sign in with their provider credentials.

NFL+ is another choice for a viewer whose local broadcast includes this game. The teams say the service carries live local and prime-time games on a phone or tablet, with a subscription required. Confirm that the game appears in your area and that your intended device is supported before relying on it for kickoff.

For viewers outside the local broadcast market, NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube or YouTube TV provides eligible out-of-market Sunday afternoon FOX and CBS games. YouTube says Sunday Ticket does not include games shown on your local channels. It is available as a standalone YouTube Primetime Channel or as an add-on to a YouTube TV plan; check current pricing and availability before purchasing.

How can you listen to the game or follow the score?

The Packers Radio Network carries Green Bay's call, with Wayne Larrivee, Larry McCarren and John Kuhn. The Packers say their official radio broadcast is available worldwide on desktop through Packers.com; the team app's radio stream is limited to the Packers' home market. Their guide also lists SiriusXM channels and a station directory.

For the New England call, the Patriots list 98.5 The Sports Hub as their flagship station, with Bob Socci and Scott Zolak. Their website says its in-game radio simulcast is available to U.S. desktop users, while mobile listening is restricted to the local market. Sports USA is also scheduled to carry a national radio broadcast.

If you cannot watch or listen continuously, the Patriots game center and Packers game center are useful starting points for game coverage. New England also says its website will run an in-game live blog with commentary, statistics, score updates and highlights.

What should fans check before and after kickoff?

The teams' official inactive list is available ahead of kickoff. Consult it for the confirmed game-day status of individual players rather than relying on an earlier injury designation. Being active does not guarantee a particular workload, so fantasy managers should weigh that uncertainty before making a final decision.

Before the game starts, open your chosen app, verify your location and sign in. If the local FOX feed shows another matchup, check whether Sunday Ticket lists this game as available in your market. After kickoff, the game centers and radio feeds offer ways to keep up if a video stream is unavailable or you are away from a television.
