Pittsburgh Steelers vs Baltimore Ravens: How to Watch and Live Stream Online
vs
Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens meet in Week 18 of the 2026 NFL season on Sunday, January 10, 2027 — the final weekend of the regular season, and an AFC North game that could decide the division. Here’s how to watch, and why the kickoff time and channel for this one are confirmed later than any other week.

Why the kickoff time isn’t fixed yet
Week 18 is the only round of the NFL season scheduled after the fact. The league holds back kickoff times and network assignments until Week 17 has been played, then moves the games that still carry playoff consequences into the largest television windows and pushes games with nothing at stake out of them.
Announcements usually arrive about six days before the weekend. Until then, any time listed for a Week 18 fixture — here or anywhere else — is provisional.
There’s a second rule that matters for a game like this one. Fixtures with playoff implications for both teams are frequently played simultaneously, so neither side can watch a scoreboard and calculate exactly what it needs while still on the field. If the AFC North comes down to Pittsburgh and Baltimore, expect this to kick off alongside the other games that could affect the same race.
What channel will it be on?
Both teams play in the AFC, and under the current rights agreement AFC-versus-AFC games are carried by CBS. That’s the likeliest home for this fixture.
The exception is primetime. A division decider is exactly the kind of game the league moves into the Sunday night window on NBC, with a simultaneous stream on Peacock. That call comes with the rest of the Week 18 announcement.
The difference matters more than it sounds. A CBS afternoon game is regional — the network carries several fixtures at once and allocates them market by market, so viewers outside western Pennsylvania and Maryland may not get it on their local channel. A Sunday night game is national, shown everywhere, with no market restrictions.
Live stream without cable
If the game stays on CBS and your market is carrying it, any live TV service with your local CBS affiliate will work: YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, DirecTV Stream or Sling TV Blue in supported markets.
Paramount+ is the more direct route. CBS’s streaming service carries the network’s NFL coverage live, and its higher tier includes your local CBS channel, so you can watch without a wider TV package.
If the fixture moves to Sunday night instead, Peacock becomes the cheapest option — NBC’s service carries every Sunday night game as part of a standard subscription with no cable login required.
Whichever way it falls, check your postcode against the service’s channel list before subscribing. Local affiliate coverage varies by provider, and it’s the most common reason people pay for something that doesn’t show them the game they wanted.
If the game isn’t shown where you live
For a regional CBS afternoon game outside either team’s market, NFL Sunday Ticket is the only legitimate route. It carries out-of-market Sunday afternoon fixtures and is sold through YouTube and YouTube Primetime Channels.
Two limits worth knowing: it doesn’t carry games already being broadcast in your own market, and it doesn’t include primetime games. So if this one gets moved to Sunday night, Sunday Ticket won’t help — though you won’t need it, because the game will be available nationally.
NFL+ and mobile viewing
NFL+ streams live local and primetime games to phones and tablets. That covers this fixture if you’re inside the Pittsburgh or Baltimore market, and covers it nationwide if it moves to the Sunday night slot. Live games on the standard tier are limited to mobile screens — casting to a television isn’t supported.
NFL+ Premium adds full and condensed replays plus coaches’ film, which is the tier that makes sense if a late American kickoff lands awkwardly in your timezone.
Watching from outside the United States
United Kingdom and Ireland: Sky Sports carries a substantial share of the season, and NFL Game Pass International — sold through DAZN — has every game live and on demand. Some fixtures air free-to-air on ITV. Week 18 games generally fall late in the UK evening or overnight.
Canada: DAZN streams every game, with selected fixtures also on TSN and CTV.
Australia: ESPN Australia and Kayo Sports carry live coverage, alongside NFL Game Pass. Week 18 kickoffs land on Monday morning or early afternoon on the east coast.
South Asia: NFL Game Pass International is generally the most reliable option where no domestic broadcaster holds rights. A late Sunday kickoff in America arrives on Monday morning in Bangladesh and India.
Precise times only become clear once the league confirms the Week 18 schedule, so set a reminder rather than an alarm.
Free ways to watch legally
CBS and NBC are both broadcast networks, so wherever the game is carried in your market an over-the-air antenna picks it up at no cost. Beyond that, Paramount+, Peacock and the live TV services all offer trials to new subscribers — typically five to seven days, enough to cover a single weekend.
For audio, both clubs’ radio networks call the game free through their station apps, which is often the simplest solution for listeners abroad.
A word on unofficial streams
A fixture of this profile attracts a wall of sites promising free streams. They operate without licences, frequently carry malware or redirect scripts, and tend to collapse exactly when the game turns. With an antenna costing nothing and Paramount+ costing very little, the risk buys you nothing.
What to expect
Pittsburgh and Baltimore have been the defining rivalry of the AFC North since the Ravens were founded in 1996. Both franchises built their identities on defence and physicality, the games are routinely low-scoring and decided late, and the margin between them across nearly three decades is remarkably slim.
Putting it in the final week is deliberate. Every Week 18 fixture is a division game so that titles and playoff places are settled head-to-head rather than by tiebreaker formula. That means the meaning of this one is only clear a few days beforehand: it might decide the AFC North, it might settle a wild-card place for one side, or both teams might arrive with everything already resolved, in which case starters get rested and the game changes character entirely.
Pittsburgh are expected to start Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, with Jaylen Warren at running back, DK Metcalf at receiver and Pat Freiermuth at tight end. Baltimore line up with Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews. Injury designations in the final week reward close reading, since teams already locked into a seed routinely hold players back.
