When to watch the Washington Commanders vs. Miami Dolpins
- Sunday, Nov. 16, at 9:30 a.m. ET (6:30 a.m. PT).
Where to watch
- The Commanders and Dolphins game will air on NFL Network and stream on NFL Plus
The NFL’s Week 11 slate gets started early with the Commanders and Dolphins playing the first game in Spain. Both teams are 3-7 on the season, but at least the Dolphins are starting to look like their former fun and explosive selves in winning two of their last three games, including last week’s surprising 30-13 throttling of the Buffalo Bills.
The picture is less rosy in Washington. The Commanders have lost five in a row and will again start backup quarterback Marcus Mariota in place of the injured Jayden Daniels.
The Madrid game kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET (6:30 a.m. PT) on NFL Network and NFL Plus. Here’s how you can watch or stream it live.
Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins face the Washington Commanders in Madrid in the first game of the Week 11 Sunday schedule.

How to watch Commanders vs. Dolphins
Sunday morning’s Commanders-Dolphins game is on NFL Network.

You can also watch the game with the NFL’s own standalone streaming service, NFL Plus. It costs $7 per month and lets you watch local and national games on your phone or tablet. For for the six international games on NFL Network, the mobile-device restriction doesn’t apply and you can also watch the game via NFL Plus on your TV or computer.
Fans in the local markets of each team will be able to watch the game on an over-the-air station. For this game, that’s CBS 9 (WUSA) in Washington and CBS 4 (WFOR) in Miami, according to 506 Sports.
Sling’s new skinny bundle costs $20 and includes NFL Network along with local Fox, ABC and NBC stations in select markets. It does not, however, offer CBS in any of its plans, which you need for Sunday afternoon games each week of the season.
Sling also offers a Day Pass for $5 or a Weekend Pass for $10. If you also wanted to get ESPN in addition to the local networks, you would need to get the $61-a-month Sling Orange and Blue plan. Read our Sling TV review.
