Carolina Panthers — live coverage
Panthers game live — every Carolina kickoff, no cable
NFC South scheduling defaults the Panthers to FOX with cross-flex CBS weeks. Slam Dunk Zone covers every broadcaster for $39.95/mo flat.
TL;DR: Carolina Panthers games default to the major NFC over-the-air network (FOX) on Sunday afternoons (NFC South franchise). Cross-flex weeks land on the AFC network (CBS), and primetime weeks send the broadcast to the SNF/MNF/TNF networks. Slam Dunk Zone includes every Panthers broadcaster in a $39.95/mo flat IPTV membership. 5,000+ channels, 6 simultaneous devices, fulfilled by AccuViewTV.
The Panthers broadcast pattern in 2026
Carolina is an NFC South franchise — the default Sunday-afternoon broadcaster is the major NFC over-the-air network (FOX-side). Cross-flex weeks (Panthers vs. an AFC opponent) push the broadcast to the AFC network (CBS-side). Primetime weeks land on the Sunday-night, Monday-night, or Thursday-night broadcaster.
NFC South rivalry weeks — Panthers vs. Falcons, Saints, Buccaneers — draw occasional primetime slots, with the schedule release each May setting the year’s specific assignments. Flex scheduling can move late-season marquee games to Sunday Night Football.
