Where to watch Buffalo Bills vs. Denver Broncos today

The AFC Divisional Round opens in Denver with the Buffalo Bills visiting the Denver Broncos in a nationally televised showdown. Here’s exactly how to watch or listen—whether you’re at home, on the go, or tuning in from abroad.

Bills vs. Broncos: kickoff times

U.S. & Canada: Saturday, Jan. 17 — 4:30 p.m. ET / 1:30 p.m. PT
UK & Ireland: Saturday, Jan. 17 — 9:30 p.m. GMT
Europe (CET): 10:30 p.m.
Mountain Time (local Denver): 2:30 p.m. MT

TV channel and main live stream

National TV (U.S.): CBS
Primary stream (U.S.): Paramount+ (live CBS feed)

If your household receives CBS through cable, satellite, or a live-TV streaming package that carries the channel, you can watch the game live on that service or its authenticated app. Paramount+ streams the same broadcast in most markets.

Mobile streaming (U.S.)

NFL+ (mobile/tablet): Every playoff game streams live on phones and tablets with an NFL+ subscription. If you’re traveling or can’t get to a TV, this is the simplest legal option to watch on the go.

Cord-cutting options

If you don’t have traditional TV, choose a live-TV streaming package that includes CBS in your area. Major national services with local-channel lineups typically carry it; availability varies by ZIP code, so confirm your local CBS feed before kickoff.

Outside the United States

Canada: The game is carried on major national NFL rightsholders; most cable/satellite and comparable streaming packages that include those channels will show Bills–Broncos live.
UK & Ireland: Look for the matchup on the NFL’s broadcast partners and the league’s international streaming service, which offers live postseason coverage.
Elsewhere: Check the NFL’s international streaming platform and your territory’s NFL TV partners for live carriage. Many regions have a single app-based subscription that includes all playoff games.

Radio and audio

Team radio networks: Both clubs carry full play-by-play on their official radio networks, plus Spanish-language audio in select markets. You can also stream the team radio call in the NFL app (premium tiers) and via many local affiliate apps in each team’s footprint.

Quick watch checklist

Want the simplest TV plan? Turn on CBS at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Watching on a phone/tablet? Use NFL+ for a live mobile stream.
No cable? Use a live-TV streaming package that includes CBS, or stream via Paramount+ where available.
Traveling abroad? Use the NFL’s international streaming service or your local NFL rightsholder.

What to expect from the broadcast

This is a national telecast, so you’ll get a top production crew, full pregame build-up, in-game rules analysis, and extended postgame coverage. With Denver’s altitude and January conditions, the broadcast typically includes on-field ball-flight graphics, kicking-range notes, and real-time weather updates from field level—useful context if late-day temperatures dip.

Pro tips for a smooth stream

Verify local CBS access early: Fire up your app or TV provider 30–45 minutes before kickoff to confirm authentication and local-channel availability.
Check device updates: Update your streaming app and, if applicable, your TV OS to avoid last-minute sign-in loops.
Have a backup: If your primary stream hiccups, switch to your provider’s CBS channel, over-the-air antenna (if in range), or your mobile NFL+ stream.
