Baltimore Ravens on TV: How to Watch Games Without Confusion

Watching the Baltimore Ravens on TV should be simple, but it rarely feels that way. One week it’s CBC, next week it’s FOX, then a primetime slot pops up on NBC, ESPN, or Prime Video. Below we break down exactly where Ravens games show up in the regular season, which matchups hit Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, and even Thanksgiving night, with real examples and quick fixes for travel and blackouts. We will also show how VeePN helps at the end.

Baltimore Ravens on TV: the channels and apps that actually carry games

On typical Sundays, afternoon NFL games land on CBC and FOX. Night games rotate: Sunday Night Football on NBC, Monday Night Football on ESPN or simulcast on ABC, and Thursday nights on Prime Video. NFL+ also shows local and primetime games on mobile. Flex rules mean listings are subject to change, so always confirm close to kickoff.

With that in mind, let’s plug in actual Baltimore dates so you know where to click.

Baltimore Ravens: national windows and flex rules explained

When the Baltimore Ravens get a marquee matchup, the league can move a game into a national primetime window. That is how Primetime games land on NBC or ESPN, or get shifted between CBC and FOX on Sundays using cross-flex. The league openly notes Sunday afternoons are split across CBC and FOX with no fixed AFC/NFC rule anymore, which is why your channel may change week to week.

Prime Video: how Thursday Nights work and what you need

Thursday games stream on Prime Video at 8:15 p.m. ET, usually with a pregame show an hour earlier. It is exclusive, so you need an active subscription and a supported device or TV app. This year’s slate runs through January and even includes a Wild Card game. If you are brand new to Prime, the service sometimes promotes introductory trials that cover a week or two of action.

Mondays are different again. Let’s cover that window.

Monday Night: what to expect on ESPN and ABC

Monday Night Football airs on ESPN with frequent ABC simulcasts. Baltimore already saw a Monday Night spotlight vs Detroit on Sep 22, so expect production extras, alternate feeds, and bigger halftime breakdowns. If you watch on a live TV streamer, confirm both the ABC and ESPN feeds in your plan.

With the big windows clear, here is a weekly checklist to avoid last-minute scrambles.

Regular season: simple checklist before kickoff

Check the listing again on game day. Flex moves and cross-flex mean assignments are subject to change late in the week. Verify date and time in the NFL app or team site before you set snacks and seating.
Confirm device logins. Whether you watch on TV apps like Paramount+ for CBC, Peacock for NBC, ESPN for Monday Night Football, or Prime Video, sign in ahead of time to avoid the “re-enter password” loop at kickoff.
Traveling or out of market? When you visit another city, rights change by location. National windows still play, but some locals will not. We explain geo-blocks and simple workarounds in VeePN’s guide to what is geo-blocking.
Mind service news. If you use YouTube TV, note that NBCU carriage talks have been volatile in late September and early October 2025. Streams continue during a temporary extension, but terms may shift. Keep an eye on announcements if your Sunday Night Football feed lives there.

Prefer streaming over cable? Here are the common services and how they handle Ravens broadcasts.

Where the big channels live if you stream instead of cable

CBC and FOX for most Sunday afternoons. Look at Paramount+ for CBC and your live TV bundle for FOX. Many markets also carry both in YouTube TV, Fubo, or DirecTV Stream. Expect occasional cross-flex that moves a Ravens game between these two.
NBC for Sunday Night Football. Over-the-air plus Peacock for streaming. Keep tabs on any provider carriage updates, especially during negotiation windows.
ESPN for Monday Night Football with ABC simulcasts. Logging into the ESPN app helps if your bundle includes it.
Prime Video for Thursday Night Football. Make sure your subscription is current and your Fire TV, Apple TV, or smart set has the app updated.

Skip pirate mirrors and fix issues the safe way

Shady sites often push malware and trackers. If you are on public Wi-Fi at M&T Bank Stadium or a bar, that risk multiplies. VeePN’s posts explain why hotel Wi-Fi and public hotspots are leaky, and how to cut slowdowns caused by ISP throttling during big Primetime games. See our pieces on hotel Wi-Fi risks, stopping throttling, and checking for DNS leaks.

Why VeePN makes watching Ravens games smoother and safer

We promised to circle back to VeePN. Here is how it helps when you stream legitimate platforms you already pay for:

Fewer region hiccups when you travel

Apps change catalogs by location. VeePN lets you pick from 2,600+ servers in 89 countries so your services read a consistent region. That means fewer “not available in your area” errors on Sunday or Monday Night, especially while moving between hotel Wi-Fi and mobile. We also cover sports blackouts and streaming tips in our sports guide.

More stable speeds at peak time

Night kickoffs attract heavy traffic. Encrypted tunnels and fast protocols make it harder for providers to categorize and throttle your Night Football stream. If you suspect shaping, our throttling explainers walk through checks and fixes.

Protection for logins on open networks

Bars, airports, and stadium guest Wi-Fi are convenient but noisy. Strong encryption, Kill Switch, and leak protection keep your session stable if the network blips. If you want a refresher on hotspot risks or DNS basics, the VeePN blog has simple primers.

One plan for the household

Use one account on up to 10 devices, so one person can watch on the living room TV, another on a tablet, and a third on a phone at home. If anything looks off, our quick “is my VPN working” guide helps you test for IP and DNS leaks.

Try using VeePN without risks, as we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.
