How to Watch New England Patriots vs. Buffalo Bills: TV Channel, Time & Stream

The 3-0 Buffalo Bills host the 1-2 New England Patriots in an AFC East matchup at Highmark Stadium, Sunday at 1:00 PM ET on CBS.

The Buffalo Bills (3-0) host the New England Patriots (1-2) on Sunday, October 4, 2026, at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 PM ET, and the game will air on CBS.

The Bills are off to a 3-0 start that includes a Week 3 win over the Chargers, though quarterback Josh Allen threw two interceptions in that game. A 25-year study of NFL running back fumble rates found strong regression to the mean, which points to Buffalo running back James Cook's fumble issues easing as Week 4 arrives.

The Patriots sit at 1-2 after a loss in which quarterback Drake Maye struggled, and they will try to get back on track against a Buffalo team off to an unbeaten start.
