It's safe to say that the Cleveland Browns' 2024 season didn't pan out the way the team had hoped. The Browns won only three games last year, a big regression from their 11-win season and playoff appearance in 2023. But with some interesting new draft picks aboard in 2025, could Cleveland begin their slow and steady climb out of football purgatory? There's only one way to find out. Here's where to watch Cleveland Browns games live in 2025.

Rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders might be one of the biggest names on Cleveland's roster this year. Not necessarily because of any towering achievements, but because he infamously fell all the way down to the fifth round of the draft after being projected to be taken off the board fairly early. It's difficult to say what this means for Sanders. Will he prove that the entire NFL was wrong to pass on him? Or is he more hype than substance? With the Browns, he'll have a shot to prove his worth.
With so much uncertainty on offense, it's crucial that Cleveland's defense delivers this season. Although some season-ending injuries have hampered things a bit, the Browns remain within the top ten or so among all NFL defenses. Can they lock down opposing teams enough to give their uncertain offense a chance to win some games? With so many questions facing Cleveland, it's sure to be an interesting season.
This year, Browns games will be shown on FOX, CBS, and the NFL Network. As always, blackout restrictions may apply depending on your location.
