Check Paramount Plus's TV schedule directly
The fastest way to know whether a Ravens game is on Paramount Plus today is to open the app or website and look at the live TV guide. Paramount Plus shows NFL games on Thursday nights and select Sunday games through its partnership with CBS. The schedule changes week to week, so there is no single answer that works every week.
Open Paramount Plus, go to the Live TV section, and look for CBS. If a Ravens game is scheduled for today on CBS, it will appear there. You can also search "Ravens" in the app's search bar to see if any Ravens content is currently available to watch.
Paramount Plus does not show every Ravens game. The Ravens play on CBS, Fox, NBC, and ESPN depending on the week and time slot. Only CBS games appear on Paramount Plus, and only if you have an active subscription that includes live TV.
Key Takeaways
- Paramount Plus carries only CBS broadcasts of NFL games, which means Thursday Night Football and select Sunday games featuring the Ravens may appear, but not all Ravens games.
- The live TV section of the Paramount Plus app or website shows today's schedule in real time, so checking there is faster than searching online.
- Ravens games on Fox, NBC, or ESPN will not be on Paramount Plus, even if you have a subscription.
- Your Paramount Plus plan must include the live TV add-on to watch games; the basic ad-supported and ad-free plans do not include live sports.
Understand which networks Paramount Plus covers
Paramount Plus has the right to broadcast CBS content, which includes Thursday Night Football and certain Sunday afternoon games. The Ravens, like all NFL teams, are assigned to different networks each week based on the league's broadcast schedule. If the Ravens are playing on CBS this week, the game will be on Paramount Plus. If they are playing on Fox, NBC, ESPN, or another network, it will not be.
You can check the official NFL schedule on NFL.com to see which network is broadcasting the Ravens game today. Once you know the network, you will know whether Paramount Plus has it. This is useful if you want to plan ahead or if the Paramount Plus guide is not loading properly.
Verify your Paramount Plus subscription includes live TV
Not all Paramount Plus plans include live television. The basic ad-supported plan and the ad-free plan are streaming-only and do not carry live sports or live TV. Only the Paramount Plus with Showtime plan includes live CBS feeds and live sports.
If you have a basic plan, you will not see live games even if a Ravens game is on CBS today. You can upgrade your plan within the app or on the Paramount Plus website. The upgrade is usually available as a monthly add-on or as part of a higher-tier subscription.
Use the NFL app or NFL.com as a backup
If Paramount Plus is not loading or you want to double-check, the official NFL app and NFL.com both show the full weekly schedule with broadcast networks listed. Search for the Ravens game and look at the network column. This tells you when ready whether the game is on CBS (and therefore potentially on Paramount Plus) or on another network.
The NFL app also lets you set reminders for games and shows you which streaming services carry each broadcast. This is a reliable way to confirm before you open Paramount Plus.
Know what to do if the Ravens game is not on Paramount Plus
If the Ravens are playing on Fox, NBC, or ESPN today, you will need to watch on that network's app or cable provider instead. Fox games can be streamed through the Fox app or Fox Now. NBC games appear on Peacock (NBC's streaming service) and sometimes on the NBC app. ESPN games require an ESPN+ subscription or cable login.
Some cable providers also let you stream their channels through their own apps, so if you have cable, check whether your provider's app carries the game. This is often faster than subscribing to a separate streaming service for a single game.
Set up notifications so you do not miss future games
Paramount Plus allows you to add shows and events to a watchlist. If you add the Ravens or NFL games to your watchlist, the app will notify you when a game is about to start. This is helpful if you want to know automatically when a Ravens game is coming to Paramount Plus without checking the schedule every day.
You can also enable notifications in the Paramount Plus settings so you receive alerts on your phone or device. This way, you will know the moment a Ravens game becomes available to watch.
