The NFL schedule has finally been unveiled for 2023, and the league certainly has an impressive slate of games that will draw eyeballs to the television. The games televised on CBS will be quite the spectacle.
The full CBS slate of games were released Thursday night, with the highlight being the AFC Championship Game rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium. The Week 17 showdown on Sunday, Dec. 31 will be televised at 4:25 p.m. ET as the nationally televised game on CBS and Paramount+.
CBS will also be televising a Christmas Day game for the second consecutive season, kicking off the holiday tripleheader with a 1 p.m. ET game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders -- also taking place at Arrowhead Stadium.
This year will see some changes to the CBS slate, thanks to the new television contract in place. CBS will identify a specific number of teams that it wants to carry for a specific minimum of games, only picking AFC teams since the network has the AFC package (Fox will do the same with the NFC). Under the former contract, CBS aired games between two AFC teams and inter-conference games where the AFC team is on the road. The league could "cross-flex" games between CBS and Fox to expand the presence of noteworthy games.
Here is the 2023 CBS schedule, with the nationally televised doubleheader and holiday games in bold. All CBS games will be streamed on Paramount+ (all times are ET).
