How to watch NFL Conference Championship Sunday: Patriots-Broncos and Rams-Seahawks

The NFL’s postseason reaches its final weekend before the Super Bowl with Conference Championship Sunday set for January 25, 2026. Two matchups will decide the AFC and NFC champions, with the winners advancing to Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

In the AFC Championship Game, the New England Patriots travel to Denver to face the Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High. CBS Sports lists the kickoff time as 3:00 p.m. Eastern, with the game carried on CBS and available via streaming options tied to the CBS broadcast. The matchup features one of the league’s most decorated playoff franchises in New England against a top-seeded Denver team playing at altitude in one of the NFL’s most challenging road environments.

Later in the day, the NFC Championship Game matches the Los Angeles Rams against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field. CBS Sports lists the kickoff time as 6:30 p.m. Eastern on FOX, giving the Seahawks a prime-time home stage in front of one of the league’s loudest crowds. The Rams’ path requires winning on the road again, while Seattle looks to convert a dominant season into a Super Bowl berth.

For viewers, the practical questions are simple: when do the games start, which channels carry them, and how can fans stream them legally. CBS Sports’ schedule provides the headline details for both matchups, including the time slots and network assignments that will be mirrored across most TV guides and sports apps.

The day’s structure follows the league’s established pattern: the AFC title game first, then the NFC in the later window. That sequencing sets up a full afternoon and evening of football and allows fans to move from one broadcast window to the next without overlap.

With the Super Bowl scheduled for February 8, 2026, these games serve as the final hurdle. By the end of Sunday night, the league will know which two teams will head to Santa Clara, and fan bases will shift immediately from rivalry focus to travel, tickets, and the two-week buildup that defines the biggest event on the American sports calendar.
