The Miami Dolphins return to Hard Rock Stadium for their second home game of the 2026, welcoming the Cincinnati Bengals to South Florida. The Bengals come into the game with a 2-2 record, having lost their last two contests, while Miami is 0-4 on the year. This is not setting up to be a high-demand game around the country.
As a game that is being shunned to the back burner of TV coverage plans, the Bengals-Dolphins game will air on FOX, despite CBS being the traditional home for AFC teams. The broadcast
will be handled by Eric Collins, Mark Schlereth, and Jen Hale. Collins slides in to replace Chris Myers for this weekend’s game, who will be assigned to the New York Giants at Washington Commanders game as a replacement for Joe Davis as he covers the Major League Baseball playoffs. Collins, who is normally the play-by-play broadcaster for the Charlotte Hornets, made his NFL broadcast debut last year when he called the Dolphins at Carolina Panthers game.
Schlereth and Hale, along with Myers, called the Dolphins’ Week 1 game at the Las Vegas Raiders this year.
Where will the Dolphins vs. the Bengals game air on TV?
The Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers game dominates the FOX early time slot, including through most of Florida. The Bengals-Dolphins game is basically a local broadcast for both team’s home area – with a little expansion into a division rival’s home base for the Bengals.
In Florida, the game will only be seen in the southern end of the state, limited to the Miami and West Palm Beach markets. Around Cincinnati, the game will be seen throughout the region, ranging from most of Kentucky, through most of Ohio outside of Cleveland and Toledo, across to the western half of West Virginia, and up to the Pittsburgh area in Pennsylvania.
