NFL WEEK 2 · SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 · ALL TIMES ETFOX has the late doubleheader; Commanders at Cowboys goes to most of the country
Every NFL team’s game airs in its home market no matter what. Outside those markets, CBS and FOX assign games region by region. This week CBS has one game in most markets (four early games and two late games to choose from) and FOX has the doubleheader, with four early games and three late games. The maps that decide each market come from 506 Sports and are unofficial until Sunday; the crews below are the announcer assignments each network published this week.

How to Read the Map
Each network’s map colors the country by game. Your market gets the game whose color covers it; in the window where your local team plays, that game is always the one you get. The network’s top crew usually travels with the game it distributes most widely, so Steelers at Patriots and Commanders at Cowboys are the two games most of the country will see. The 506 Sports maps are updated through Saturday and occasionally change when a market’s local team switches windows.
How to Watch a Game That Is Not On in Your Area
