Bengals vs. Browns NFL Week 18 Broadcast Map: Will you be able to watch on TV?
Here’s how you can watch the Bengals’ final game of the 2025 season.
The Cincinnati Bengals (6-10) close out the 2025 season with their final home game of the year against the Cleveland Browns (4-12).
Cincinnati has played nothing but complementary football over the last two weeks against other teams already eliminated from playoff contention. The Bengals scored a combined 82 points against the Miami Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals, and won both games by an average of 23.5 points. Everyone in the locker room is striving to finish the year exactly like that.

NFL Week 18 broadcast map
Virtually all of Ohio will be able to watch the Battle of Ohio, and that is most of the overall coverage this game has. Eastern Kentucky and Lexington will be able to watch, and a good chunk of West Virginia including Charleston, but that’s about it.
CBS will have three games on in its early afternoon window, and the Bengals’ game is being broadcasted to the smallest audience since the other two matchups involve at least one playoff team. That’s how it’s been for the past several weeks now.
