Cardinals-Patriots Week 15 matchup to get only regional coverage

Check out where in the country the Cardinals’ Week 15 game will air this weekend.

The Arizona Cardinals take on the New England Patriots in Week 15 Sunday afternoon at State Farm Stadium. The game kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET and will air on CBS as one of three late games for the network.

It will get only regional coverage for the two teams’ home markets, per 506 Sports.

Check out the graphic.

The Cardinals-Patriots game will air only in the green areas, which includes Arizona’s local home market, covering almost all the state and a small area in California just west of Yuma, and the Patriots’ home market in the Northeast.

It is understandable, as the biggest game in the time slot has the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions facing off in a potential Super Bowl preview. Anywhere not with a home team playing in that time slot should see that game.

But it means that out-of-town fans will not get to see the game unless they have NFL Sunday Ticket.
