This NFC South matchup brings the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers together in the 2026 NFL regular season, with kickoff set for Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 1:00 PM EDT at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Carolina enters Week 7 in a strong early position at 3-2 and sits first in the NFC South. The Panthers have won two straight, and their offense has been one of the league’s most productive through five games, ranking first in passing yards per game and first in receiving yards per game while also sitting fourth in scoring. Bryce Young has helped drive that start with 1,549 passing yards and 11 touchdown passes, giving Carolina a clear offensive identity heading into this divisional game.
Tampa Bay comes in at 1-5 and fourth in the division, so this game lands as an important chance to steady its season inside the NFC South. The Buccaneers have dropped their last game and have had a tougher time generating offense through the air, ranking 30th in passing yards per game and 25th in scoring, though they have remained more effective on the ground with the league’s ninth-ranked rushing attack. Their defense has still created opportunities, ranking fifth in interceptions and allowing 23 points per game, which gives Tampa Bay a path to stay competitive IF it can pair takeaways with cleaner offensive execution.
Below are the details on how to watch.
