The Bills–Panthers game was played on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. ET. It aired in the regional Sunday-afternoon window on FOX from Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Buffalo won 40–9, so there is no live broadcast to watch now; current viewers should use an authorized replay, recap or audio service.

Watch on television
The game aired on FOX as a regional Sunday-afternoon broadcast, not as a game carried by every FOX station nationwide. The first option for viewers in the assigned coverage area was their local over-the-air FOX affiliate. Cable and satellite channel numbers depended on the viewer’s ZIP code and provider.
Charlotte market
The Panthers’ guide listed WJZY for Charlotte. That designation does not mean every Panthers or Bills fan outside the station’s coverage area received the game. Check FOX’s local coverage information or your provider’s guide for the relevant ZIP code.

Streaming options
Viewers in the local FOX market
Local viewers could use an authorized stream from a participating pay-TV provider or a live-TV streaming service carrying their local FOX affiliate. These services generally required a subscription or provider authentication, and availability depended on the affiliate, ZIP code and location permissions. The FOX Sports app was not guaranteed to provide this game independently of those rights and login requirements.
Viewers outside the local market
The Panthers’ Week 8 guide identified NFL Sunday Ticket as the live out-of-market option for this Sunday-afternoon game. Sunday Ticket is distributed through YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels; NFL’s platform explanation is available at NFL Support.

What NFL+ could and could not do
NFL+ supported live local and primetime regular-season and postseason games on supported phones and tablets, live out-of-market preseason games, live audio for every game and, with NFL+ Premium, replays. It did not provide this game’s live out-of-market Sunday-afternoon broadcast on a television, so it was not a Sunday Ticket substitute. See the NFL plan comparison and NFL’s Sunday Ticket explanation.
Current U.S. prices shown by NFL Support (January 2026) are $6.99 per month or $49.99 per year for NFL+, and $14.99 per month or $99.99 per year for NFL+ Premium. These figures should not be treated as the 2025 game-day prices.

The Panthers Radio Network carried the game locally and through its affiliates. In Charlotte, the listed station was 99.7 FM The Fox. The Panthers’ online broadcast began pregame coverage at 10:00 a.m. ET; nationwide desktop listening and local-market mobile listening had different availability rules.

Bills broadcast
For Buffalo audio, use the Bills’ official audio and viewing page for the Radio Network affiliate lookup and available team streams. SiriusXM also carries NFL game audio subject to package and geographic restrictions. Radio rights and flagship stations can change by season, so the Bills’ current 2026 branding should not be projected backward onto this 2025 game.

How to watch after the live broadcast
Because the October 26, 2025 broadcast is over, do not purchase a live-season package solely for this game before checking replay availability. Look at the official Bills and Panthers recap and highlights pages, NFL replay listings and NFL+ Premium. Whether a full or condensed replay is available, and whether it costs extra, depends on the current rights, subscription tier and country. No universally free, permanent full-game replay is established.
Older articles may mention NFL Game Pass. That U.S. guidance predates the current distribution arrangements and should not be used as the viewing route for this game.
