Check Paramount+ directly for tomorrow's NFL schedule
Paramount+ shows NFL games on Thursday nights and select playoff games, but the schedule changes week to week. The fastest way to see what's on tomorrow is to open the Paramount+ app or website, go to the Sports section, and look for NFL. The app will show you tomorrow's games with kickoff times in your local timezone.
If you don't see any games listed for tomorrow, it means there are no NFL broadcasts scheduled that day on Paramount+. The NFL season runs from September through early February, but not every day has a game on this streaming service. Thursday Night Football is the main recurring slot, though Paramount+ also carries some playoff games and Super Bowl coverage in years when CBS has the broadcast rights.
You can also check the Paramount+ schedule page on their website without logging in. Search for "NFL schedule" or "Thursday Night Football" to see upcoming games and their air times. This is useful if you want to plan ahead for the week.

What to do if you don't have a Paramount+ subscription
Paramount+ requires a paid subscription to watch NFL games. The service offers a monthly plan and an annual plan, with pricing that varies depending on whether you choose the ad-supported or ad-free tier. You can sign up directly through the Paramount+ website or through your TV provider if they offer it as an add-on.
Some TV providers bundle Paramount+ with cable or streaming packages, so check your current service to see if it's already included. If you're a new subscriber, Paramount+ sometimes offers a free trial period, though the length varies. Check the sign-up page to see what's available right now.
Using the Paramount+ app to browse the NFL schedule
Once you're logged into Paramount+ on your phone, tablet, or TV, tap or click the Sports icon at the bottom of the home screen. From there, select NFL to see all available games. The app shows games by date, so you can scroll to tomorrow and see the full list with kickoff times and team matchups.
Each game listing includes the two teams playing, the kickoff time, and whether the broadcast is live or a replay. If you want to watch a game, tap it to open the full details page, where you can set a reminder or start watching if the game is currently live.
Finding games on the Paramount+ website
Go to paramountplus.com and sign in with your account. Click on Sports in the top menu, then select NFL. The website displays the schedule in a calendar format, making it straightforward to jump to tomorrow's date and see what's scheduled.
The website also lets you filter by team if you want to see only games involving your favorite NFL team. This is helpful during the season if you want to track when your team plays on Paramount+, since not all of their games air on this service.
Understanding the NFL broadcast schedule across services
Paramount+ does not carry every NFL game. The league splits broadcast rights among multiple networks and streaming services. CBS games on Thursday nights go to Paramount+, but Sunday games typically air on CBS, Fox, or ESPN, and Monday Night Football is on ESPN. Playoff games and the Super Bowl rotate among networks based on a yearly schedule.
If you're looking for a specific team's game and don't see it on Paramount+, check the NFL's official website or ESPN's schedule to find which network or service has the broadcast rights. This saves you from searching in the wrong place.
Setting reminders for upcoming NFL games
Within the Paramount+ app, you can set a reminder for any game you want to watch. Open the game details page and tap the bell icon or "Set Reminder" button. Paramount+ will send you a notification before the game starts, giving you time to get ready or make sure you're near a device to watch.
Reminders are useful if you know you want to watch a game but might forget the exact kickoff time. The notification typically arrives 15 to 30 minutes before the broadcast begins, though the exact timing depends on your app settings.
Troubleshooting if games won't load
If you see NFL games listed on Paramount+ but they won't play, try closing and reopening the app. Make sure your internet connection is strong—streaming video requires a steady connection, and weak WiFi or cellular signal can cause playback problems. If the issue continues, restart your device and try again.
If a game is listed but shows as unavailable in your region, it means Paramount+ does not have broadcast rights in your location. This happens occasionally with certain games or playoff broadcasts. Check the game details page to see if it's available elsewhere or if it will air on a different service.
