The channels you need to watch the Cleveland Browns livestream include local channels Fox, NBC, and CBS. These can be accessed through a digital antenna or streaming services like Fubo, DIRECTV, and Hulu + Live TV.
You’ll also need the “cable” channel ESPN for one regular season game, plus NFL Network for preseason games. Like local channels, these and many others are available through streaming services (but not antennas).
Here is a list of every channel airing the Browns this season with the number of games on each:
| Channel | Games |
| CBS | 7 |
| Fox | 5 |
| ESPN | 1 |
| NBC | 1 |
| Prime Video | 2 |
| TBD* | 1 |
I’ve found Fubo, DIRECTV, and Hulu + Live TV are the best options for streaming Browns games online. Offering everything cable does but for less money, just choose a service, sign up, and then download its app onto your device to start watching the Browns.
Most devices are compatible. The following work with all three services: Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Chromecast, mobile devices, and any computer with a web browser. You can watch from anywhere with an internet connection, and on multiple devices at once. I also had no problem recording Browns’ games onto the included DVRs.
| Service | Price | Channels | DVR | Screens |
| $79.99/month | 185+ | ✅ | 10 | |
| $84.99/month | 90+ | ✅ | unlimited | |
| $82.99/month | 95+ | ✅ | 2 | |
| $82.99/month | 100+ | ✅ | 3 |
Other streaming options will let you watch Browns games online — just not the entire season as they’re missing some of the necessary channels. Thursday Night football games are exclusive to Amazon Prime Video (the Browns play twice on Thursday nights: November 21 and December 29).
| Service | Price | Channels | Falcons Channels |
| $45.99/month | 30+ | FOX, NBC, ESPN | |
| $8.99/month | NA | Prime Video | |
| $7.99/month | NA | CBS | |
| $10.99/month | NA | NBC | |

If you’re looking to catch every Cleveland Browns game, Fubo’s your best bet. It’s got the most reliable coverage with CBS and Fox, which are essential for Browns games. I really liked the streaming quality – smooth and clear with no interruptions. Fubo’s DVR is solid too, so you can record and watch at your convenience. Plus, it works on all major devices, so you can stream from pretty much anywhere. When I compared it to options like Hulu + Live TV or DIRECTV, Fubo stood out with its stronger sports package and extra channels. It’s a great option if you want plenty of coverage and good value.
Will the Cleveland Browns be able to make it to the postseason in consecutive years for the first time since 1988-89? That is, of course, the primary goal, and then, if they do, the team will want to improve on its playoff showing last year, a 45-14 loss to the Texans and a quick exit. Another goal for this squad is claiming the AFC North title, which would be its first division crown since 1989.
A year ago, Cleveland had a solid 11-6 campaign despite injuries battering the team throughout the season. In fact, the Browns started five quarterbacks, not only the most in franchise history but the highest total by any NFL team since the Patriots did so in 1987.
Much of the focus of those in Cleveland this fall will be on quarterback Deshaun Watson, more specifically on his health as he broke a bone in his throwing shoulder last year and has spent the offseason recovering from that. A couple of other big names returning on offense will be wide receiver Amari Cooper and running back Nick Chubb.
That said, Cleveland’s defense needs to also be solid for the Browns to succeed. Leading it will be end Myles Garrett, who received Defensive Player of the Year accolades in 2023, and tackle Dalvin Tomlinson. They will be joined by retuning linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, new-to-the-team linebacker Jordan Hicks, who played for the Vikings the past two years, and longtime Brown cornerback Denzel Ward.
Taking the kicking and punting duties in 2024 are expected to be Dustin Hopkins, who suffered a hamstring injury towards the end of his 2023 campaign, and Corey Bojorquez.
Calling the shots from the sidelines will be Kevin Stefanski, who has been the team’s head coach since 2020. His squads have gone 37-30, quite an improvement on the 17-62-1 record that the 2015-19 Browns had posted.

Watching the Cleveland Browns is easier than in the past, but many people still prefer to listen to the Browns over the radio. Browns games are broadcast on a network of 26 local stations through the Cleveland Browns Radio Network. Major radio stations that broadcast Browns games include WKNR, WKRK-FM, and WNCX. Additionally, a Browns radio broadcast is streamed on Sirius XM. You can also access games on the Westwood One app.
The easiest way to record Cleveland Browns games is to use a cloud-based DVR system. Today, almost all reputable cable providers and streaming services offer cloud-based DVR systems that let you record Browns games. In general, you can record all channels when you use a DVR. Some channels and services prevent recording. But the major NFL networks (ESPN, Fox, CBS, NBC, NFL Network) all do.
