Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta and Aditi Kinkhabwala bring the CBS broadcast to the Cleveland Browns versus New York Jets game

The 2026 NFL Regular Season matchup between the Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets goes live today, Saturday 11 October 2026, with kickoff at 18:00 UK time. The broadcast for the game is carried on CBS in the United States, with coverage also available through Paramount+ in the USA. It is a fitting reminder that the NFL on CBS network has been home turf for these games since the 2014 season, and remains so through the current campaign.

The team on duty is one that has earned its share of late-game drama. Spero Dedes takes the play-by-play duties, Adam Archuleta handles the analyst role, and Aditi Kinkhabwala sits in as the reporter. The trio has been described as a crew that knows end-of-game drama better than almost any other, and they return together for another campaign this year.

The broadcast team

Spero Dedes is the No. 5 play-by-play announcer on the NFL on CBS, working alongside Adam Archuleta as the No. 5 announcing team. From 2017 to 2021 and again since 2023, Dedes has called games with Archuleta, though for the 2021 and 2022 seasons he was paired with a different analyst. The pair were even on the call for the Snow Bowl, when the Buffalo Bills beat the Indianapolis Colts on 10 December 2017. Dedes is also the No. 4 play-by-play announcer for the NBA on TNT.

Adam Archuleta serves as the analyst for the team. According to the 2026 NFL on CBS game and studio announcer listing, he is the No. 20 pick of the 2001 NFL Draft and a former NFL safety, returning as part of the trio for another campaign.

Aditi Kinkhabwala fills the reporter role on the sideline. The three of them have been paired together in recent seasons, including a Week 13 Patriots versus Colts game, where Dedes handled play-by-play, Archuleta took the analysis, and Kinkhabwala reported from the sideline.

Where to watch

Head to CBS for the primary United Kingdom and US broadcast, or tune into Paramount+ in the USA if you prefer streaming coverage. The game pits the Cleveland Browns against the New York Jets, a matchup that keeps the NFL Regular Season on schedule heading into the tail end of the fall campaign.
