How to watch Colts vs. Jaguars on DIRECTV
Your local CBS station
CBS doesn't have one national channel number on DIRECTV. You get it through your local CBS affiliate, and the number depends on your market.

Our guides to what channel CBS is in your area and getting CBS on DIRECTV have more, and our Florida and Indiana channel guides cover the home markets.
If you removed local channels from your satellite package, add them back in your DIRECTV account a day or two before Sunday so the guide has time to update. See our guide to adding local channels on DIRECTV.

Will Colts vs. Jaguars be on TV in my area?
CBS has four games at 1 p.m. ET in Week 8: Colts at Jaguars, Titans at Bengals, Browns at Steelers and Ravens at Bills. The Jacksonville and Indianapolis markets will get Colts-Jaguars. CBS has the doubleheader this week, so most CBS stations show one of those early games and then a 4:25 p.m. ET game, either Chiefs at Broncos or Patriots at Dolphins. The league finalizes coverage assignments during game week, so check your local listings the week of the game.
If it isn't on CBS near you, NFL Sunday Ticket is the way to watch live at home. It's sold through YouTube and YouTube TV, not to DIRECTV homes.
