The Miami Dolphins held off the New York Jets and secured the seventh AFC playoff spot last week. Their prize? A trip up to chilly Buffalo to take on the second-seed Bills. The two AFC East rivals will meet up in Sunday’s first Wild Card game with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET (10 p.m. PT) on CBS and Paramount Plus.

How to watch Dolphins vs. Bills without cable

If you don’t have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can watch the Dolphins-Bills game on CBS with a live TV service or on CBS’ Paramount Plus streaming service. Unfortunately for football fans, not every service carries every local network, in particular CBS. Sling TV, for example, doesn’t offer the network at all, and you’ll want to double check each one using the links below to make sure it carries CBS in your area.

If you live in an area with good reception, you can watch the broadcast on CBS for free on over-the-air broadcast channels just by attaching an affordable (under $30) indoor antenna to nearly any TV.

Watch the NFL on CBS for $5 per month

Paramount Plus has two main options: Essential for $5 per month ($50 per year if paying annually) and Premium for $10 per month ($100 per year if paying annually). Both offer live NFL games, though the cheaper Essential option lacks live CBS feeds, ad-free content for on-demand streaming or the ability to download shows to watch offline later. 

Since either option works for the NFL games, if all you want is football, the cheaper Essential option would be the way to go.
