Bucs vs. Browns Week 2 broadcast map — Will you be able to watch on TV?
The clash between Baker Mayfield’s current and former teams won’t be seen locally by too many fans across the country.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking to bounce back after a season-opening 33-27 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday.
The Bucs open up their home slate on Sunday at 1:00 pm ET against the Cleveland Browns, who come into the contest with a matching 0-1 record after getting shellacked by the Jaguars in Jacksonville 34-10.
Naturally, it’s a game that Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield has had circled for a while. Mayfield was drafted number one overall by the Browns in the 2018 NFL Draft. Mayfield led the Browns to a super-rare playoff win during the 2020 season. However, the Browns moved on from him in favor of Deshaun Watson, who the team traded for and signed to a mega $230 million contract extension in 2022 before unceremoniously trading Mayfield to Carolina.
Oh, yeah, and Watson is starting on Sunday for Cleveland, perhaps without the full backing of his teammates, something head coach Todd Monken had to address with the media this week. Surely that won’t motivate Mayfield any further.

So, how many people will get to watch this game locally? Not many, as it turns out. 506 Sports put out the Week 2 broadcast map, and the Bucs and Browns have perhaps the smallest market of all games this week.
The game will be shown on CBS on the west coast of Florida from around Naples up north of Tampa Bay, and it doesn’t even include Orlando. Most of Ohio and slivers of Michigan and Pennsylvania are included, as is most of Oklahoma and a sliver of Kansas.
