Super Wildcard Weekend was wild indeed.

In a pair of huge upsets, 2 Super Bowl favorites not only lost, but got totally TKO’d. The league’s #1 offense put up a mere SEVEN points. And the league’s #1 defense gave up FORTY-FIVE POINTS to a team led by a rookie QB and a rookie head coach.

That means there are no Eagles, Cowboys, Dolphins, or Browns in 2024’s NFL Divisional Round.

Crazy.

And in case you missed some (or all) of the Wildcard Weekend games, the Steelers and Rams are also out.

With that covered, let’s see how you can watch the NFL Divisional Round online.

Which networks have the NFL Divisional Round games?

The NFL Playoffs for the 2023-2024 season are being broadcast by NBC, CBS, FOX, and ESPN/ABC.

Spanish language feeds for Divisional Round games are on ESPN Deportes, FOX Deportes, and Universo.

The NBC and CBS games will be simulcast on Peacock and Paramount+ respectively, and the ABC/ESPN game will be simulcast on ESPN+. That means you’ll need a live TV streaming service to watch the game on FOX.

NFL Divisional Round schedule

While the weather on Wildcard Weekend was as wild as the upsets — with the Steelers @ Bills game being postponed a day due to a crazy snowstorm and the Dolphins @ Chiefs game being the 4th-coldest game in NFL history — the forecast looks a little better for the NFL Divisional Playoffs.

Granted, the Chiefs-Bills game is in Buffalo and the forecast calls for snow.

As per usual, there are 2 games on Saturday and 2 games on Sunday.

Saturday, Jan. 20

  • 4:30 PM (ET) AFC Game on ABC/ESPN/ESPN+: Houston Texans @ Baltimore Ravens
  • 8:15 PM (ET) NFC Game on FOX: Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers

Sunday, Jan. 21

  • 3:00 PM (ET) NFC Game on NBC/Peacock: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Detroit Lions
  • 6:30 PM (ET) AFC Game on CBS/Paramount+: Kansas City Chiefs @ Buffalo Bills

Where to watch the Divisional Round games

Here’s where to watch every game in the NFL Divisional Round according to broadcaster and which streaming services carry them.

AFC Divisional Round game on ABC/ESPN/ESPN+

Saturday, Jan 20 at 4:30 PM (ET): Houston Texans @ Baltimore Ravens

The Texans are coming off an incredible performance which saw them put up 45 points against the NFL’s #1 defense. The first-seed Ravens are well-rested coming off their Wildcard bye week.

The Texans-Ravens game is being broadcast on ABC, ESPN, and ESPN+ in English and on ESPN Deportes in Spanish.

HOWEVER, unlike the Wildcard Weekend NFC game on ABC/ESPN, the first Divisional Round game is will be simulcast on ESPN+. It’s a lot cheaper than live TV streaming services and even better when bundled with Disney+ and Hulu.

NFC Divisional Round game on FOX

Saturday, Jan 20 at 4:30 PM (ET): Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers

FOX is broadcasting one NFL Divisional game, but it doesn’t have an on-demand streaming service to simulcast it on. That means you’ll need a live TV streaming service to watch this game online.

The Packers-Niners game is being broadcast on FOX in English and on FOX Deportes in Spanish. These are the live TV streaming services that carries FOX:

The NFC Divisional Round matchup between the Bucs and Lions is being broadcast on NBC and simulcast on Peacock. The Spanish language feed is on Universo.

These are the live-TV streaming services with NBC

If you don’t have one of the live TV streaming services above, Peacock is a fraction of the price. unfortunately, there’s no longer a Peacock free trial, but entry-level Peacock Premium plan is only $6/month.

AFC Divisional Round game on CBS & Paramount+

Sunday, Jan 21 at 6:30 PM (ET): Kansas City Chiefs @ Buffalo Bills

In what looks to be the coldest NFL game of the week, the Chiefs head north to Buffalo to take on the Bills. The game is being broadcast on NBC and simulcast live on Paramount+.

These are the streaming services with live feeds of CBS:

If you don’t have one of the above live TV streaming services, there’s a 7-day Paramount+ free trial, which means you can watch the Chiefs-Bills game for free.

Watch NFL Playoffs on official league platforms

The league has 2 ways to watch every NFL playoff game without worrying about whether your service carries the right network: NFL+ and NFL Game Pass.

Watch NFL Playoffs on Game Pass

You need a VPN to watch NFL Game Pass if you’re in the US

Thanks to a massive partnership deal with the NFL, DAZN is in charge of delivering NFL Game Pass for the next 10 years.

And while we hope they do a better job next season, it’s the “best” platform in terms of game coverage available. That means you can watch every postseason game and therefore every game in the NFL Divisional Round.

However, it’s not for Americans, so you need a VPN to sign up, sign in, and watch the games.

The price has been knocked down and prorated so NFL Game Pass is only around 20 bucks for the postseason.

Watch NFL Playoffs on NFL+

NFL+ is your second official option to watch the NFL Divisional Round games. It’s only $7/month, so you’ll be covered for every game, including the Super Bowl.

HOWEVER, you can only watch NFL+ on mobile devices. So no Big Screen for the Big Game.

Watch NFL Playoffs for free

Conditions for each service differ depending on whether you’ve used its free trial before, but here are the free trials for each streaming service with NFL games.

    The best dubs go beyond the basics of the format, and make those vocal77 loops sound as if they absolutely need to be vocal77 repeated.
