Out-of-market and traveling fans
If you live outside the New York-New Jersey region, the local CBS or FOX affiliate in your home market may not carry the Jets that week. NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV solves this — it carries every out-of-market Sunday afternoon game. For Jets fans traveling internationally, the league sells NFL Game Pass abroad, which streams every NFL game (live and on demand) on a per-country subscription basis.
Radio coverage
Play-by-play airs on the Jets’ flagship station and across the Jets Radio Network, which syndicates the call across stations in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and parts of Pennsylvania. SiriusXM also carries every NFL game on the NFL Channel, with both team broadcasts and a national feed. Explore our radio and streaming guide.
Watching at a sports pub
The New York region has a dense network of sports bars that show NFL games each Sunday. A few categories worth knowing:
- Dedicated Jets bars — community-hosted watch parties with Jets fan groups. Locations rotate over the years; the JetsInsider community forums are the most reliable source for the current list.
- NFL Sunday Ticket pubs — bars that carry every out-of-market game. Common across Manhattan, Long Island, and northern New Jersey.
- Neighborhood sports bars — typically carry the local CBS/FOX Jets broadcast plus the late game.
