Check the NFL Schedule on Paramount Plus First

The fastest way to know if a Rams game is on Paramount Plus is to open the app or website and search for "Rams" or look at the sports section. Paramount Plus carries some NFL games, but not all of them—and which games appear depends on the week and the matchup. The app will show you upcoming games in the sports category, usually with the date, time, and which teams are playing.

If you see the Rams game listed there with a play button, it means that particular game is available to stream. If you don't see it, the game is being broadcast on a different network that week. Paramount Plus does not carry every Rams game, so checking the app directly saves you time rather than guessing.

Key Takeaways

  • Paramount Plus carries some NFL games, but the Rams do not play exclusively on that network, so you must check each week to see if that specific game is available.
  • Games on Paramount Plus are usually CBS broadcasts, so if the Rams game is on Fox, NBC, ESPN, or another network that week, it will not be on Paramount Plus.
  • The Paramount Plus app shows upcoming games in the sports section, and you can search by team name to see what is coming up.
  • If the game is not on Paramount Plus, you can find out which network has it by checking the official NFL schedule on NFL.com or your local TV listings.

When Paramount Plus Does Not Have the Game

Most Rams games air on Fox or CBS, which you can watch on cable or through the network's own streaming app. Some games are on ESPN, which requires an ESPN+ subscription or cable login.

Checking Your Paramount Plus Subscription Level
