Cleveland Browns 2026 TV Schedule: Channels, livestream & where to watch the game

It is officially the 2026 offseason, and the "Steel City" draft in Pittsburgh is officially in the books. The energy in Northeast Ohio is fueled by a sense of urgency and transformation. After watching over 800,000 fans take over the North Shore of their rival’s city for the draft, the Cleveland Browns emerged with a haul designed to immediately fix the protection and playmaking issues that hampered them last year.

This is a new era for the Orange and Brown. With Kevin Stefanski’s tenure having concluded, the focus is now on Todd Monken, who enters his first season as the Browns' head coach. After a 2025 campaign that saw defensive milestones overshadowed by offensive inconsistency, GM Andrew Berry used the 2026 draft to build a high-octane environment for his young quarterbacks and a revamped receiving corps.

The "Steel City" Draft: Browns 2026 Highlights

The Browns were aggressive in Pittsburgh, making 10 selections to youthfully transform a roster that saw several veterans depart in free agency.

Draft Analysis:

• The Trench Anchor: At #9 overall, the Browns selected Spencer Fano. An elite pass-blocker from Utah, Fano is expected to be the Day 1 starter at tackle to protect Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel.
• The Speed Injection: The Browns double-dipped at receiver early, taking KC Concepcion (#24) and Denzel Boston (#39). These moves provide Coach Monken with the vertical threats necessary to run his aggressive offensive scheme.
• Local Flavor: Second-round safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (#58) from Toledo brings a "ballhawk" mentality to the secondary, having been one of the most productive defensive backs in the MAC last season.

Cleveland Browns: 2025 Season Recap

The 2025 season was a year of historic individual brilliance met with team frustration. The Browns finished 5–12, anchored by Myles Garrett, who set a new NFL single-season record with 23 sacks. Despite a breakout Pro Bowl campaign from young QB Shedeur Sanders, the team struggled to find wins in a brutal AFC North, leading to the coaching change in January.
