Will the game be broadcasted over the air?

This year is actually different. ESPN has been lobbying for a playoff game for years and finally the NFL gave them one. This game will be broadcast on ESPN nationally and to the highest bidder locally. That means if you are not within a stones throw of Charlotte or Glendale you could be scrambling for coverage. 

 

 

 

Similar to regular-season MNF games, ESPN’s Wild Card telecast will be simulcast on over the air stations in the primary markets of the participating teams; it will also be available via WatchESPN for fans who subscribe to an affiliated provider.

The fact Carolina and Arizona are playing on ESPN is not a coincidence. Arizona's QB situation and Carolina's record made it the ideal game to put on a cable network.

 

Simply put, it sucks. Paying for cable TV is the most frustrating rip off. I envy people that can get by without it. 

 

Edit: For what it's worth. My TV guide on ATT uverse is showing the game broadcast locally on Channel 36 (NBC).

Yeah. The uverse guide is all wrong. NBC has the late Saturday game but not listed then and our early game isn't listed on any local station or even ESPN. Hopefully they'll update it one of these nights soon or the recording on my dvr will be titled Sportscenter lol.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
