Where to watch Cowboys vs. Broncos today: kickoff time, TV channel, and every legal streaming option
The Dallas Cowboys visit the Denver Broncos today, Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025, in the NFL’s late window. If you’re hunting for the cleanest way to watch, here’s the full menu—TV, streaming, radio, and international options—so you won’t miss a snap.
Kickoff time and TV channel
-
Kickoff: 4:25 p.m. ET / 2:25 p.m. MT / 9:25 p.m. BST
-
U.S. TV: CBS (late window). Most markets carry this game; check your local CBS affiliate.
In Dallas–Fort Worth and Denver: the game airs on your local CBS station.
Streaming the Cowboys vs. Broncos without cable
Paramount+ (local CBS)
If your market is showing the game on CBS, you can stream it live in the Paramount+ app. This mirrors your local CBS broadcast.
Live TV streaming bundles (carry CBS in most markets):
-
YouTube TV
-
Fubo
-
Hulu + Live TV
-
DirecTV Stream
All four typically include local CBS; availability varies by ZIP code, so confirm inside the app before kickoff.
Mobile/tablet (in-market):
-
NFL+ streams live local and prime-time games on phones and tablets. It also includes live game audio for every game.
Out-of-market note:
This matchup sits in the national late slot for CBS, but some regions will still see alternate games. If your CBS market isn’t carrying Cowboys–Broncos, use a bundle that includes multiple locals or verify coverage in-app. (Paramount+ only shows your local CBS feed.)
Radio and audio
Prefer the headset experience? Both teams’ radio networks carry the full game, and NFL+ offers live home, away, and national audio streams.
Watching outside the United States
International rights vary by country:
-
Many regions carry the NFL via a dedicated Game Pass product within the DAZN platform.
-
Some countries have additional local sports networks for weekly live games. Open your local broadcaster’s app or DAZN on game day to confirm the live window.
Quick troubleshooting before kickoff
-
Confirm your market: Open your streaming app and check the game tile on the home screen 30–60 minutes before kickoff.
-
Have a backup route: Keep a secondary app (or antenna) ready in case your first choice buffers.
-
Update apps & devices: Install updates on your TV/streaming stick now; restarts solve a surprising number of gametime glitches.
-
Mind the audio track: If the crowd or commentary seems off, toggle your audio settings—some apps expose alternate mixes.
Why this game lands in the late national window
A marquee NFC brand traveling to a surging AFC contender is tailor-made for the national slate. The late window also lines up with the Mountain Time venue, giving CBS the broadest reach. Practically, that means more markets get Cowboys–Broncos than the typical regional telecast—but the safest path is still to verify your local listing or open the app early.
