Watching in the United States
The game airs on FOX, with Kenny Albert on play-by-play, Jonathan Vilma as analyst and Megan Olivi on the sideline. It also streams on FOX One. In the Tampa Bay market, NFL+ streams the game to a phone or tablet. Outside the local market, NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV carries it.
On the radio, the Bucs Radio Network flagship is WXTB 97.9 FM (98ROCK), with Tony Castricone, Dave Moore and Jay Recher, and the national feed is on SiriusXM channel 380. The Spanish broadcast runs on WTMP La Invasora, with Santiago and Martin Gramatica.
Watching outside the United States
In the UK and Ireland, NFL Game Pass on DAZN is the only service that guarantees every Buccaneers game live and on demand, with no blackouts. Channel 5 and 5Action show two live games free every Sunday, a 6pm kickoff and a 9pm kickoff, and which games they pick varies week to week. Sky Sports NFL carries more than half of all games live, including Sunday doubleheaders and every night game. In Ireland, Virgin Media Television adds at least 22 free-to-air games a season, and Sky Sports is available there too.
In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, RTL shows two picked games every Sunday free to air, plus every Thursday, Sunday and Monday night game; whether this particular game is one of RTL's Sunday picks varies week to week. Sky Sport or WOW add two more Sunday games plus every night game, and NFL Game Pass on DAZN covers every Buccaneers game regardless of the weekly picks.
In the Netherlands and Belgium, ESPN shows a selection of live games each week through Ziggo, KPN, Odido or its own app, and whether it picks this particular Bucs game varies week to week. NFL Game Pass on DAZN is the one option that guarantees every Buccaneers game in both countries; no Belgian broadcaster holds NFL rights this season.
Everywhere else in Europe, NFL Game Pass on DAZN is sold in more than 200 countries and carries every regular-season game with no blackouts; NFL+ is a US-only product and is not available in Europe. In Canada, NFL Game Pass on DAZN covers every Buccaneers game as part of a standard subscription, and in Australia, ESPN (via Kayo, Foxtel, Disney+ or Fetch TV) and the Seven Network's free-to-air Sunday and Thursday games are the two options to check for this matchup.
