NFL Week 16 coverage map: TV schedule for CBS, Fox regional broadcasts image

The NFL regular season is getting down to its final moments, and you'll have plenty of chances to turn on your TV and watch NFL football this week.

Christmas Day, a Friday in 2020, featured one NFL game. Then there were three more on Saturday. Sunday's two afternoon windows will feature a total of 10 games, and then you've still got Sunday and Monday night games. This will actually be less Sunday afternoon games than there have been in a while, so the Week 16 coverage map provides ample opportunity to watch your favorite team play.

Fox gets the double broadcast window this weekend, with CBS only sending one game to each market. That means a big audience for the late-afternoon matchup of Seahawks-Rams, which might not otherwise see much attention outside of the west coast. But as those two teams compete for the NFC West title, the majority of the country will see it. 

Below are the full NFL coverage maps for Week 16, plus a list of major TV markets and the CBS and Fox games that will be presented in each on Sunday.
