A tool for fans who want to know exactly which game will be on their TV before they sit down on the couch.

Sports Maps is an interactive mapping tool that shows, county by county across the United States, which NFL and MLB game is scheduled to air in each local TV market. Every map covers a single broadcast window on a single network, FOX or CBS, and color-codes every US county by the game assigned to that market.
Hover or tap any county to see the exact game name. Use the search bar to jump straight to your county, city, or ZIP code. The result is a clear, visual answer to the question sports fans ask every week: what game is actually on TV where I live?
Maps are published for each broadcast window as soon as assignments are confirmed from public sources. Individual listing pages are permanent and stay accessible after the game date, making the archive a useful historical record of how networks have distributed games across markets over time.
The question that doesn't have a good answer anywhere else.
TV listings sites show what's on at a given time, but they don't tell you why a different game is airing two counties over. Networks publish PDF schedules that are hard to read. Fans are left guessing whether their market got the game they wanted.
We take broadcast assignment data, the same information used to determine which feed your local affiliate receives, and render it on an interactive county-level map of the United States. Every county gets a color that corresponds to its assigned game.
A single map answers the question instantly. You can see your county, your neighbors' counties, and the full national distribution of a broadcast window at a glance. No more hunting through PDFs or TV listings to figure out what's on.
Broadcast assignments are sourced from publicly available information released by the leagues and networks ahead of each game day. For NFL games, FOX and CBS publish regional coverage maps in the days before each Sunday's slate. For MLB, FOX Saturday game assignments are similarly announced in advance.
That data is converted into a GeoJSON file where each US county (and Louisiana parish) is tagged with its assigned game. The map on Sports Maps reads that file and renders a color-coded layer over an interactive base map powered by Leaflet.js.
We aim to publish maps as soon as broadcast assignments are confirmed. Because the underlying data comes from public sources, there can occasionally be a lag or a correction if an assignment changes close to game time. If you notice an error, please let us know.
