Miami Dolphins at Indianapolis Colts Week 1 broadcast map: Will you be able to watch on TV?

Originally posted on A to Z Sports | By Craig Smith | Last updated Sep 3, 2025 12:41 PM ET

Another season of Miami Dolphins football gets underway on Sunday in Indianapolis, as the Fins try to get their 2025 slate off to a good start with a win against the Colts.

This game - and this location - in particularly will be a good litmus test for how improved the Dolphins are from the 2024 season. Miami went into Indianapolis in Week 7 of last season and lost 16-10. It was one of the most regrettable games of the year, as the Dolphins led for a good stretch of that game and hung in there thanks to a strong defensive effort. But as the story was often told last fall, a broken offense with Tua Tagovailoa on the shelf and an ineffective offensive line was too much to overcome.

The Dolphins come into 2025 with higher hopes, and with what they hope will be an offense that looks much more like the 2023 version than the 2024 one. With three new starters on the offensive line (Patrick Paul, Jonah Savaiinaea, and James Daniels) and with Tua back under center, Miami has a chance to move the ball far better than they did 10 months ago.

Of course, the question many fans are asking is: will I be able to watch the game? If you're in the state of Florida, the answer very likely is yes you will. Per 506 Sports, the game will be shown throughout the state on CBS with the exception of part of the panhandle.

Fans in South Georgia and Southeast Alabama will also be able to watch. For fans throughout almost all of Tennessee except for the Memphis/West Tennessee area, you're in luck. The case is the same for fans in the middle of Kentucky, most of Indiana, and a large swath of Illinois.

What to watch for with Dolphins and Colts in Week 1

As mentioned, whether the Dolphins' offense can return to form is the most crucial questions of the season, if not the most. Is this offensive line capable of moving people, creating an effective rushing attack, and "earning" those deep shot opportunities as Mike McDaniel put it?

Is Tyreek Hill still the elite-level player we saw in 2023? It could be a good opportunity for him to get back on track, as it appears former Dolphins Xavien Howard, who's been out of football for a year, is set to play a significant role for the Colts on Sunday.

Defensively, how will Miami's defensive front look with some notable changes this offseason (out with Calais Campbell, in with Kenneth Grant)? Is this secondary up to the task against potentially one of the least potent passing attacks they'll face this entire season?

We'll find out soon enough when toe meets leather just after 1:00 pm ET inside Lucas Oil Stadium.
