The 2-1 Jaguars, first in the AFC South, visit the 2-1 Bengals at Paycor Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 4, with kickoff at 1 p.m. ET on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
Two AFC teams off to identical starts meet in Cincinnati on Sunday, Oct. 4, when the Jacksonville Jaguars travel to face the Bengals at Paycor Stadium. Both clubs bring 2-1 records into the Week 4 contest, which kicks off at 1 p.m. ET, 10 a.m. PT, and airs on CBS.
Jacksonville enters the week No. 1 in the AFC South after a big Week 2 victory over the New England Patriots. The question now is whether that momentum carries into a road game against an opponent with a matching record. Sunday will provide the first answer.
Cincinnati has matched Jacksonville's 2-1 start, yet that leaves the Bengals fourth in a very tight AFC North, where one result can shuffle the standings. They will have home-field advantage at Paycor Stadium. The winner moves to 3-1, while the loser falls to 2-2.
For viewers, the details are simple. CBS will broadcast the game, and Paramount+ is also listed as a carrier. Streaming options include YouTube TV, Fubo and DirecTV. The matchup is one of four CBS games in the Sunday early window.
Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season began Thursday, Oct. 1, with the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Cleveland Browns at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video, the week's only Thursday game.
