How to Watch Philadelphia Eagles Games on Paramount Plus

What Paramount Plus shows and what it doesn't

Paramount Plus carries some NFL games, but not all Eagles games. The service shows CBS games only — which means Sunday afternoon matchups when CBS has the broadcast rights. If the Eagles play on Monday night (ESPN), Thursday night (Amazon Prime Video or NFL Network), Sunday night (NBC), or any other network, Paramount Plus will not have that game.

CBS gets the rights to broadcast certain AFC and NFC games each season. In any given week, CBS shows one or two games regionally, meaning you see the game that applies to your area. The Eagles play in the NFC East, so when CBS broadcasts an Eagles game in your region, Paramount Plus will carry it.

You can check which network is broadcasting each Eagles game by visiting the official NFL schedule on NFL.com or the Philadelphia Eagles official website. Both list the broadcaster for every game.

How to find the game on Paramount Plus

On game day, open Paramount Plus and look for the Sports section or search for "NFL" or "Eagles." CBS games appear in the live TV section if you have a Paramount Plus plan that includes live TV access. A standard Paramount Plus subscription does not include live sports — you need either the Paramount Plus with Showtime tier or the Paramount Plus Essential plan that explicitly states it includes live TV.

If you are unsure which plan you have, check your account settings. Go to your profile, select "Plan and Billing," and look at your current subscription type. The plan name will tell you whether live TV is included.

Games typically start streaming 15 to 30 minutes before kickoff. If you arrive late, you can usually rewind or restart the broadcast from the beginning if the game is still in progress.

Regional blackout and what it means for you

Even if CBS is broadcasting an Eagles game and you have the right Paramount Plus plan, you may not be able to watch it. Regional blackout rules prevent streaming services from showing certain games in the team's home market. The Eagles' home market includes Philadelphia and surrounding areas in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.

If you live in the Eagles' broadcast region and the game is a local CBS broadcast, you may be blacked out on Paramount Plus. You would need to watch on your local CBS station instead. If you live outside that region, you should be able to stream the game on Paramount Plus if CBS is the broadcaster.

Blackout rules change based on the game and the network, so there is no single rule that applies to every Eagles game. The safest approach is to check Paramount Plus on game day — if the game is available in your area, it will appear in the Sports section.

Other ways to watch Eagles games

If the Eagles game is not on Paramount Plus, you have other options depending on which network is broadcasting. ESPN Plus carries some Monday night games. Amazon Prime Video carries Thursday night games. NBC and Peacock carry Sunday night games. NFL Plus is a dedicated streaming service that shows out-of-market games and condensed replays.

Your local CBS, NBC, or Fox station will always broadcast games assigned to that network, whether or not you have cable. You can watch over the air with an antenna if you have one, or stream through the network's own app if you have a cable login.

If you want to watch every Eagles game regardless of which network broadcasts it, combining Paramount Plus with one or two other services is usually necessary. Many people use Paramount Plus for CBS games, Peacock for NBC games, and either ESPN Plus or Amazon Prime Video for the remaining broadcasts.

Paramount Plus plan types and what they include

Paramount Plus offers several subscription tiers, and only some include live TV and sports. The Essential plan is the lowest cost but does not include live TV. The Essential with Ads plan is cheaper but also excludes live TV. The Paramount Plus with Showtime tier includes live TV and sports broadcasts.

If you currently have an Essential plan and want to watch live NFL games, you will need to upgrade to the Paramount Plus with Showtime tier. The upgrade is available through your account settings under Plan and Billing. Paramount Plus will prorate your next bill based on when you upgrade.

Pricing changes periodically, so check the Paramount Plus website for current rates. Student discounts and promotional rates are sometimes available, particularly at the start of the NFL season.

Troubleshooting if the game won't load

If you have the right plan and the game should be available in your area but will not load, try these steps in order: restart the Paramount Plus app, restart your device, check your internet connection speed (streaming video needs at least 5 Mbps), and clear the app's cache by uninstalling and reinstalling it.

If the game still will not appear, contact Paramount Plus support through the app or website. Have your plan type and your location ready when you reach out — support can tell you whether the game is available in your area and whether a technical issue is preventing it from loading.

During major games, Paramount Plus servers can become overloaded. If the game is live and many people are streaming, try refreshing the page or waiting a few minutes before trying again.
