How to follow the CINCINNATI BENGALS from out of market

You didn't stop being a Bengals fan when you left Cincinnati. Cincinnati's coverage just stopped following you. Here's how displaced Bengals fans watch the games, hear the Cincinnati call and keep every Bengals story, from anywhere.

The Bengals beat you left behind

Start here, because this is the half no streaming package sells you. On an ordinary Tuesday in Cincinnati, the Bengals story is being worked by WLWT 5. Add the club's own newsroom at bengals.com and that is 2 separate mastheads filing on one team, most of them on days when nothing has officially happened.

None of it was built for you. It was built for the people who still live in Cincinnati, which is why moving away quietly costs you the practice report, the Friday injury designation and the beat writer's read on why the AFC North game actually turned. Vurvo puts every one of those sources, plus the Bengals podcasts and YouTube shows, into one free feed, in black and orange.

How to watch Bengals games out of market

The national windows follow you anywhere: Thursday, Sunday and Monday night, plus any Bengals game flexed into a national slot. What you lose by moving is the ordinary Sunday afternoon game that only clears the Cincinnati market. NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube and YouTube TV is the out-of-market answer to exactly that, which for a displaced fan means most of the Bengals schedule, the AFC North dates against the Ravens, Browns and Steelers included. RedZone rides along on Sundays, NFL+ adds out-of-market preseason, and Game Pass on DAZN covers you outside the US. Rights packages move season to season, so check the current lineup before you buy.

Or watch with other Bengals fans

The other answer to a Sunday away from Cincinnati is a room full of people dressed in black and orange. Most big cities have one bar that has quietly become the Bengals bar, and displaced fans find each other there long before they find each other anywhere else. Go For GameDay searches by team and ZIP nationwide; Watch Party Radar lists them city by city:

Neither directory is ours and neither covers every town. If yours is missing, the Bengals supporters' groups are the fastest way in: they booked the bar, usually years before any directory noticed.

Hearing the Cincinnati call from another state

The national TV crew is not the crew you grew up on. NFL+ carries live game audio for every game, Bengals home call included, from anywhere in the US, and the Cincinnati flagship usually streams its own broadcast through the club's app on game day where local rights allow. Radio in one ear, muted TV feed in the other, the way Cincinnati has always done it.

Following the Bengals between Sundays

Out of market mostly means late. The trade breaks on a Cincinnati station you cannot pick up, and you hear about it three hours behind the people you would normally argue with. Vurvo pushes Bengals news the moment any of those 2 sources files it, tracks every game live play by play, and keeps the AFC North race in front of you, in black and orange, whatever time zone you ended up in.

Displaced Bengals fan FAQ

Which Cincinnati outlets still cover the Bengals every day?

WLWT 5, plus the club's own newsroom at bengals.com. That is 2 separate mastheads on one team, and not one of them publishes to the place you moved to. Vurvo pulls all of them into a single Bengals feed.

How can I watch Bengals games if I don't live in Cincinnati?

The national windows air everywhere. For the Sunday-afternoon Bengals games that only clear the Cincinnati market, NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube and YouTube TV carries the out-of-market feed, which for a displaced fan covers most of the schedule including the AFC North dates against the Ravens, Browns and Steelers.

How can I hear the Bengals radio call from another state?

NFL+ carries live game audio for every game, Bengals home call included, from anywhere in the US. The Cincinnati flagship also streams its own broadcast through the club's app on game day where local rights allow, so you are not stuck with the national crew.
