Yes, you can watch Eagles games on YouTube TV, but which channel depends on the game
YouTube TV carries the channels that broadcast Philadelphia Eagles games: CBS, Fox, and NBC. Most regular-season Eagles games air on one of these three networks. However, not every game appears on YouTube TV — some games are exclusive to ESPN+ or other services, so you need to check the schedule before game day to confirm where that specific game is broadcasting.
YouTube TV's base package includes CBS, Fox, and NBC in all markets, which means you can watch games that air on those networks in your region. The Eagles play roughly 10 games per season on CBS, 4 to 5 on Fox, and 1 to 2 on NBC during the regular season. Playoff games may air on different networks depending on the matchup and round.

How to find which Eagles games are on YouTube TV this season
Start by visiting NFL.com and searching for the Eagles schedule, or go directly to the Philadelphia Eagles' official website. The schedule lists every game with the broadcast network clearly marked — CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN, or ESPN+. If the game shows ESPN+ only, that game is not available on YouTube TV because YouTube TV does not carry ESPN+.
You can also check YouTube TV's own guide. Open the YouTube TV app or website, go to the Live tab, and search for "Eagles" or the specific date of the game. YouTube TV will show you which games appear in your channel lineup. If a game does not show up in the guide, it is broadcasting on a network YouTube TV does not carry.
Save the Eagles' schedule to your phone or bookmark it so you can check before each game. This takes 30 seconds and prevents the frustration of sitting down to watch only to discover the game is on a channel you do not have.
What to do if an Eagles game is only on ESPN+
Some Eagles games — typically one or two per season — broadcast exclusively on ESPN+, which is a separate streaming service from YouTube TV. If you want to watch those games, you have two options: subscribe to ESPN+ separately, or find another way to watch.
ESPN+ costs about $11 per month on its own, or you can bundle it with Disney+ and Hulu for a lower combined price. The bundle is worth considering if you watch other sports or shows on those services. If you only want to watch one or two Eagles games per season on ESPN+, the standalone subscription may not be worth it to you.
Some sports bars and restaurants with cable or streaming packages will show ESPN+ games. You can also check whether the game is being broadcast on a local radio station and listen while following along with live stats online.
Recording Eagles games on YouTube TV
YouTube TV includes unlimited cloud DVR storage, which means you can record every Eagles game that airs on CBS, Fox, or NBC and watch it later. To record a game, open the YouTube TV app or website, find the game in the guide, and click the record button (usually a circle icon). The game will be saved to your library automatically.
Recorded games stay in your library for up to 9 months. After that, YouTube TV deletes them to manage storage. If you want to keep a recording longer, you need to watch it and delete it manually before the 9-month window closes, or subscribe to YouTube TV's premium DVR add-on if available in your area.
One useful feature: if you start watching a game live and then need to step away, YouTube TV automatically saves your place. You can pause the live broadcast, finish watching later, and pick up exactly where you left off.
Watching Eagles games outside your home
YouTube TV's mobile app lets you watch live games on your phone or tablet as long as you are signed into your account. You can watch from anywhere — at work, in a car (if you are a passenger), or at a friend's house. The game streams over your phone's data or Wi-Fi connection.
If you are traveling and want to watch on a TV that is not your home TV, you can sign into YouTube TV on that TV using your account credentials. YouTube TV recognizes your home network, so you can watch from any TV in your house without extra steps. Away from home, you can use the mobile app or cast to a TV if you have a Chromecast or compatible device.
Checking your YouTube TV package for CBS, Fox, and NBC
YouTube TV's base package includes CBS, Fox, and NBC in virtually all U.S. markets. If you have a YouTube TV subscription, you already have these channels. You do not need to add anything or pay extra to watch Eagles games on these networks.
To confirm you have these channels, open the YouTube TV app, go to the Live tab, and scroll through your channel list. You should see CBS, Fox, and NBC listed. If any of these channels are missing, contact YouTube TV support — this is rare, but it can happen if your account has a regional restriction or billing issue.
What happens during playoffs and the Super Bowl
Playoff games air on CBS, Fox, or NBC depending on the matchup and playoff round. The NFL schedules these games months in advance, so you can check the playoff schedule on NFL.com as soon as the regular season ends. If the Eagles make the playoffs, their games will almost certainly air on one of YouTube TV's included networks.
The Super Bowl always airs on either CBS or Fox, both of which are on YouTube TV. If the Eagles reach the Super Bowl, you will be able to watch on YouTube TV without any additional service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I watch Eagles games on YouTube TV if I live outside Philadelphia?
Yes. YouTube TV carries CBS, Fox, and NBC nationwide, so you can watch Eagles games from anywhere in the United States. However, local blackout rules may explore to some games — if an Eagles game is not selling out, the local broadcast may be blacked out in the Philadelphia area. This is an NFL rule, not a YouTube TV rule, and it affects all cable and streaming services the same way.
Do I need a cable login to watch Eagles games on YouTube TV?
No. YouTube TV is a standalone streaming service. You do not need a cable subscription or cable login. Your YouTube TV subscription is all you need to watch games on CBS, Fox, and NBC.
Can I watch Eagles games on YouTube (the free version)?
Not usually. YouTube.com (the free version) does not carry live NFL games. YouTube TV is a separate paid service. Some highlights and clips appear on YouTube after games end, but live broadcasts are only on YouTube TV.
What if my internet goes out during an Eagles game?
If you lose internet connection, the stream stops. YouTube TV does not have an offline viewing feature for live games. If you recorded the game before it started, you can watch the recording later once your internet is back. For live games, you would need to find another way to watch — a radio broadcast, a friend's TV, or a sports bar.
Does YouTube TV include RedZone?
YouTube TV does not carry NFL RedZone. RedZone is available through cable packages and other streaming services like Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV's competitors, but not through YouTube TV itself. If you want RedZone, you would need a different service.
