TV Map: Half of Country Will Miss Out on Steelers vs. Chargers

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers will be available in certain pockets of the country as part of the regional 1 p.m. broadcast on CBS. It won’t be like Week 1 when nearly the entire country got the Steelers-Falcons game or in Week 2 when only a small portion of the country got the Steelers-Broncos game. It’s pretty spread out.

According to coverage maps posted by 506 Sports on Wednesday, the Steelers and Chargers game will air in large areas of California, New Mexico, the entire state of Arizona and a good portion of the South, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and all of the New England region. The lower tier of the Great Plains and parts of Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho will also get the game.

Steelers fans in nearly all of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Virginia, all of West Virginia and Maryland and parts of New York and New Jersey will get the game. Outside of the Pittsburgh and Los Angeles markets, stations in the Atlanta, Boston, New York City, Kansas City, Baltimore, Washington D.C. Cincinnati, Buffalo, San Francisco and Phoenix markets will all broadcast the game.

Closer to Pittsburgh, the entire state will get the game outside of the Philadelphia market. The game will also be aired in Youngstown and Steubenville, Ohio and Wheeling, Morgantown and Beckley, West Virginia.

The Pittsburgh market will get the Giants-Browns game on FOX during the 1 p.m. time slot, while the FOX 4:25 p.m. game will feature the Ravens-Cowboys game. There’s no CBS late game this week in the Pittsburgh market.

There are four national broadcasts for Week 3. The New England Patriots will visit the New York Jets in a battle of 1-1 AFC East teams on Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime.

Sunday Night Football on NBC and WPXI-TV will feature the back-to-back Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs against the Atlanta Falcons.

There are two Monday Night Football games this week. The Jacksonville Jaguars take on the Buffalo Bills in the first game at 7:30 (ESPN), while the Washington Commanders vs. the Cincinnati Bengals will be featured in the second game at 8:15 p.m. on  ABC and ESPN+.
