The exact TV channel for “the Steelers game” depends on which specific game and your location, but in general Steelers games air on CBS, FOX, NBC (Sunday Night), ESPN (Monday Night), and NFL Network, plus local Pittsburgh affiliates and streaming options.

Quick Scoop

For most Steelers games, here’s the usual setup:

  • Sunday afternoon:
    • AFC‑focused games are often on CBS.
    • Some matchups (especially NFC opponents) can be on FOX.
  • Sunday Night Football:
    • Nationally on NBC.
  • Monday Night Football:
    • Nationally on ESPN (and often simulcast on a broadcast network in the local markets).
  • Thursday games:
    • Often on NFL Network (and sometimes a partner streamer/broadcaster).

The Steelers’ own site notes you can watch Steelers games live on CBS, FOX, NBC (for Sunday Night Football), ESPN (for Monday Night Football), and NFL Network, depending on the week.

Why there’s no one fixed channel

  • The NFL rotates broadcast rights week to week, so each game can end up on a different network.
  • The exact channel number (like “channel 5” or “702”) depends on your TV provider and city, so you’ll need to check your local listings or on‑screen guide.

How to quickly find today’s channel

You can usually get the precise channel in a minute by:

  1. Checking the official Steelers schedule page or your TV provider’s guide (search “Steelers” in the guide).
  2. Looking at the ESPN or NFL app’s game details, which list the broadcast network for each matchup.
  1. If you’re in Pittsburgh, your local affiliate (like CBS or ABC/ESPN simulcasts) will carry most prime games, but the exact channel number depends on your cable/satellite/antenna setup.

Streaming options if you can’t find the channel

Even if you don’t know the exact channel number, you can still watch via:

  • Paramount+ for games that air on your local CBS station.
  • ESPN’s app or a live TV streamer (YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, etc.) for ESPN/ABC games.
  • NFL+ for in‑market and prime‑time mobile/streaming options.
  • NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV for out‑of‑market Sunday afternoon games.

TL;DR: The Steelers don’t have one permanent channel; check which network has that specific game (usually CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, or NFL Network) and then look up the corresponding channel number on your provider’s guide.
