How to Watch Patriots vs. Lions on DIRECTV (Nov 15)
By American TV editorial team |
The New England Patriots face the Detroit Lions in Munich, Germany, on Sunday, November 15, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. ET. The Week 10 international game is scheduled for Allianz Arena and airs on FOX in the United States, according to the announced team and FOX schedule.
Plan your viewing with our NFL on DIRECTV guide and local FOX channel guide. Confirm this exact game in your address-specific lineup.
Because the kickoff is early on the East Coast, plan recordings and morning viewing ahead of the usual afternoon window. On DIRECTV, look for your local FOX station in the guide. Exact channel numbers vary by ZIP code, so search for FOX or the game title rather than relying on a single national number.

How to watch on DIRECTV
DIRECTV packages that include local broadcast stations carry the game on your market's FOX affiliate where available. Confirm the listing on the receiver or app you will use Sunday morning. If your plan is a sports-focused Genre Pack, verify that local FOX is included for your address before kickoff rather than discovering a gap at 9:30 a.m.
Set a DVR recording from the actual program entry if you cannot watch live. International windows sometimes sit beside other early Sunday listings, so double-check the Munich game title in the grid. Our FOX in my area guide explains how local FOX numbers work. For the wider Week 10 slate, see NFL on DIRECTV.
Call American TV at 1-855-690-9884 if you need to compare packages that include local FOX for this early kickoff. Have your ZIP code ready so the quote matches the stations that actually serve your address.
Streaming options
FOX's own platforms may also carry the telecast for eligible subscribers. Availability, authentication and out-of-market rules depend on the service and your location. Check current subscription requirements before relying on a stream. Check FOX One or your provider login only after confirming the game listing for your account.
Viewing rights outside the United States differ from the U.S. FOX telecast. Check the authorized broadcaster for the country where you will watch.
Why the Munich slot matters for viewers
International games often land outside the usual Sunday afternoon block. An early FOX window means the game can finish before many domestic noon kickoffs begin. Set a reminder the night before, especially if you are traveling between time zones or hosting guests who expect a later start.
Other Week 10 national windows still fill the afternoon and night, including separate Sunday and Monday games already covered in American TV's weekly how-to-watch pages. Use the guide for those kickoffs rather than assuming every Sunday game shares this Munich start time.
For Lions or Patriots season context, pair this page with team viewing guides on American TV and confirm each week's network individually. A Munich morning kickoff does not change how later Week 10 games are distributed on CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN or streaming exclusives.
Quick checklist before Sunday
Confirm FOX is in your package, test the DVR entry, and decide whether anyone watching away from home needs an authenticated FOX stream. If multiple rooms will tune in, check simultaneous-stream limits on both DIRECTV and any companion app. Keep the 9:30 a.m. ET start visible on a kitchen clock or phone alarm so the early window is not missed.
If your service supports recording extensions, review those settings before kickoff. Overtime and schedule changes can affect the finish time; available recording controls depend on your account and device.
