Vikings At Bucs, TV Map
September 26th, 2026
Free football.
Citizens living in various parts of our republic will get to see the Vikings-Bucs game tomorrow on free TV.
The Bucs are trying to flush maybe the worst loss suffered by the franchise this century as they square up on the hot Vikings.
The Bucs basically have their backs against the wall. No Bucs team* has ever advanced to the playoffs in a full season after an 0-2 start. An 0-3 start will likely be fatal and Joe has a strong hunch Bucs fans will then turn their attention to coaching candidates to be hired in January.
The game will be broadcast by FOX throughout the upper Midwest, among other pockets of the country, including most of the Sunshine State.
If you do not happen to be in the blue-shaded areas (below) to watch on your local FOX affilate, it is either a Sunday Ticket kind of day or off to the local watering hole to watch the Bucs.
Joe always recommends Hooters. It’s made for swilling cold beer, wolfing down wings and watching football.
Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilma and Megan Olivi 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.

The first 2 games started at 1 PM.
The Bucs/Vikings game starts at 4 PM
Maybe the starting time change will change the Bucs luck.
Grasping at straws here.

Cheer up Buc fans. You never know. Our Bucs might just play hard and surprise the hell out of us. Remember, we are desparae which can be a good thing. The Vikings are due for a loss.

Last week was not the worst lost in Bucs history. They deserved to lose.
In 2010 the bucs lost to a bothched Pass inference call in the End Zone removing a Touchdown. The bucs settled for a field goal and lost the game to the Lions. The NFl later said they got it wrong it should have been an TD. The bad call changed the outcome of the game which the bucs did not deserve.
The lose, knocked th bucs out of th playoffs by tie breaker allowing the Packers into the playoffs taking the bucs slot as the last seed.
The Packers, number 6 slot went on to win Super Bowl XLI likely cemting Aaron Rodgers as a Hall of Famer QB.
The refs blew a call and changed history. That’s the worst lose in Bucs history. Getting the call right and the Bucs make the playoffs, and Aaron became a legend. That call may have made A A Ron millions of dollars.
Being out coaches by the Brows Was just embarrassing.

Since I live in NW Pasco County I can’t receive the game over the air thanks to Tampa stations power reduction with the digital transmission. I refuse to pay over priced cable.
But lucky me, its going to be a great day to do things outside, and I never stop what I’m doing just to watch the Bucs.
There’s a good chance the Bucs get a little League help tomorrow as they won’t want the Vikings to run away with the division this early in the season.
