Out-of-Town Fans Out of Luck for Steelers-Jets Broadcast

If you’re an out-of-town Pittsburgh Steelers fan that wants to tune in to this Sunday’s game against the New York Jets, you might be out of luck.

The Steelers and Jets, which are being broadcast in the 1 p.m. window on Sunday by CBS, will be available in just a few markets. You’ll be able to see the game only in Pittsburgh and New York, Hartford, Scranton, most of West Virginia, Cincinnati and Eastern Kentucky via CBS affiliates. Greg Gumbel, former NFL safety Adam Archuleta and Pittsburgh native A.J. Ross will have the call of the game.

Other ways to see the game include NFL Plus in the home markets and NFL Sunday Ticket on DirecTV for out-of-market fans.

The Steelers were on national television through Amazon Prime Video on Thursday night in Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns. Though each of the team’s first two games against the Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots were regional broadcasts, they were still available large swaths of the county. This will be the first Steelers game of the season with truly limited television distribution.

Of course, given the lowly rated matchup, it’s not surprising the networks are staying way from this game, and fans may want to, as well.

In Pittsburgh, the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers will follow the Steelers on CBS. WPGH, the local FOX affiliate, will carry the Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers.

There will also be a bonus national game this week, as the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints kick off at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday from London. That game will be broadcast by NFL Network.

The Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins are on Thursday Night Football, the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on Sunday Night Football on WPXI and the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers are on Monday Night Football.
