What Channel Is CBS Sports

To watch the great games on the CBS Sports Channel, you’ll need to know what the right channel number is.

It’s more difficult than you think because the channel number changes depending on which service provider and which part of the country you’re in.

We didn’t want people to have to spend a lot of time surfing the channels so we did the research for you and made the list of channels by service provider and city where you can watch CBS Sports.

One of the best ways to watch CBS Sports is to sign up for Paramount+.

With Paramount+, you can watch CBS Sports live as well as replays of all the games they have the rights to.

It’s only $5.99 a month and your first week is free.

The DirecTV CBS Sports Channel

You can watch the CBS Sports Channel on DirecTV on Channel 221.

That’s the only channel CBS Sports is available on.  It’s great that DirecTV has made it so easy to find the channel.

One thing that can be confusing though is that CBS Sports and the CBS Sports channel are two different entities.

There might be games on CBS Sports but not the CBS Sports Channel.  That’s because the game is likely on CBS or Paramount+.

Go to Channel 221 for CBS Sports and if you’re trying to watch CBS on Directv, check out our guide for the right channel.

Where You Can Watch The Channel On Spectrum

Spectrum hasn’t made it easy to find the CBS Sports Network.  The most common channel that it’s on is Channel 315.

Overall, the CBS Sports Network is on different channels depending on the location.  There’s usually only one or two channels and they’re usually far out – in the 300+ range.

It’s sad that the CBS Sports Channel seems like a bit of an afterthought to Spectrum based on its channel number, but it is what it is.

What Channel is CBS Sports on Xfinity

The CBS Sports Channel is even further up on your TV guide with Xfinity than it is with Spectrum.

The lowest number that we found CBS Sports on is Channel 109 in Atlanta.  Most of the time the first channel you’ll find is in the low 400 range.

There’s also multiple channels and in some cities, there’s 3 channels where you can watch CBS Sports.

Stick with the lower-numbered channel at first but if you don’t think you’re getting a good signal on that channel, switch to the higher-numbered one.
