Where can I watch the Miami Dolphins at Cleveland Browns game in Week 17?
The Miami Dolphins end the 2024 season with two road games, starting this weekend with a visit to the Cleveland Browns. Miami is holding on to slim playoff chances as they head into the weekend, hoping that a win in Ohio and losses by the Indianapolis Colts, Denver Broncos, or Los Angeles Chargers can keep the team alive heading into their season finale against the New York Jets in Week 18.
Miami is 7-8 on the season, a year that started with high expectations for a team that was looking to build upon two straight playoff appearances, but has somehow fallen to a team just hoping to make it to the season finale with a chance at a postseason berth.
Cleveland is just 3-12 this year, dealing with injuries and underwhelming play throughout the season. They are holding on to the fifth-overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, but they are just a game ahead of the New York Giants, who are 2-13 and in the top spot in the selection process. The Browns could play spoiler to Miami’s playoff chances, but they could also lose and find themselves holding all the cards in April’s Draft.

Where will the game be aired on local affiliates?
CBS is slotted for just the single-game coverage this week, broadcasting games in the early timeslot. Under NFL rules, if a team is playing in the early slot on one broadcast company, the other company will not broadcast a competing game. In this case, local markets in the early timeslot like Philadelphia, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Dallas, and Las Vegas are all playing in the early slot with FOX handling the coverage. That leaves CBS without a game they can air in those markets during the early slot. They will, instead, air a late game in those areas to make up for the loss – and in this case, that is the Dolphins at Browns game.
The game will air in Miami, West Palm Beach, and Fort Myers in Florida, most of Ohio, and then in the Philadelphia, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Dallas, and Las Vegas markets.
