Bucs At Bengals, TV Map
September 12th, 2026
Free football.
You need to know where you can watch the Bucs-Bengals game tomorrow on free TV, right? Joe’s here to help.
The Bucs travel to Cincinnati today to face the Bengals on the banks of the mighty Ohio River at Mike Brown Stadium. The 2026 Bucs season is here. Kickoff is 1 p.m.
Unless you live in Florida, the Ohio River Valley, or Oklahoma, it’s a very good bet you will have to hit up your local watering hole to watch the game. Those are the only three regions of America that will have the Bucs-Bengals game on free TV.
If you are stuck having to go to a bar, Joe always suggests Hooters. It’s made for swilling cold beer, wolfing down wings and watching football.
Kevin Kugler, windy Daryl “Moose” Johnston and Allison Williams will handle the call on FOX. (Streaming and radio broadcast information will be included in “Gameday Tampa Bay” scheduled to publish here at midnight.)
As always, TV coverage maps are courtesy of 506sports.com.
Yellow: Tampa Bay @ Cincinnati
Red: Atlanta at Pittsburgh
Blue: Chicago @ Carolina
Green: New Orleans @ Detroit
(Joe can’t recall an NFL broadcast window for a specific network where every game featured an NFC South team.)

I recently moved from Tampa to West Palm Beach. I don’t mind going to my “local watering hole” to watch the game, but is there a way I can listen to a radio broadcast of the game maybe on the internet? Like the iHeart radio app?

Senor Harry:
Yeah, NFL.com has a package where you can get the radio feed of each NFL team. But trying to synch that up with the satellite feed at a sports bar will drive you nuts. Might not be worth the hassle, even if you could figure out the synch.

I used a marginally legal android app to watch them last year, no longer an option. As it will be birthday, I choose to ride my Pan to some bar
[FYI guys, in case anyone has an idea, please DO NOT post how/where to get illegal feeds of games. That is a Crime Against Joe that can and likely will get someone bounced. Not trying to be an a-hole, but remember Joe is responsible for everything published on this website including comments. And the NFL has goons that monitor sites like Joe’s for violations like this — trust Joe. As always, thanks for your cooperation! — Joe]

Falcons Steelers getting this much coverage is a mistake when Atlanta is playing their 3rd string QB. Maybe I’m bias but Bucs Bengals seems like the best game out of these 4 with the biggest names and best QB matchup

Dom:
You are correct but remember, network suits (who aren’t always football fans) aren’t so much about good games. They’re worried about eyeballs.
The Steelers are guaranteed eyeballs. They are one of a few teams that no matter who they play, people will watch.

Unbelievable- South Florida thinks Cooper Rush v Aaron Rodgers is a better matchup than Baker v Burrow

The Bucs are always my favorite team. There is a three way tie for my second favorite team only in Week 1 of this season: Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Detroit.

@Senior Harry, listening to the game on the radio is actually kinda fun, or at least it was while Gene Deckerhoff used to announce the games. If you turn the volume up really loud it feels like being at the game.

@Joe. My uncle is a big Patriots fan but he lives here in Orlando. Back 30 or 40 years ago he had a satellite dish that looked like it came from NASA to watch the Pats, Red Sox, Bruins and Celtics. Now he does it with his computer. For me it seems like quite the bother, but it will never go away.

$4.99 a month will get you Sirius xm radio where you can get every teams local radio call +NFL channel. Well worth the money if you work on Sundays
