Watch Carolina Panthers vs Cleveland Browns live on FOX or stream the game on FOX One from Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, OH on Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT during NFL Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season. Carolina and Cleveland land on each other’s schedule only once every four years, a quirk of the AFC North and NFC South rotation, and Sunday is only the fifth Panthers trip to the Cleveland lakefront. Cleveland opened with a 34-10 loss at Jacksonville that was 24-0 by halftime, Todd Monken’s first game as an NFL head coach. Deshaun Watson, named the starter over Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel in the offseason, went 16-of-22 for 205 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

The last time these clubs played a game that counted, Cleveland kicked its way out of Charlotte. Rookie Cade York drilled a 58-yard field goal in his NFL debut for a 26-24 win on Sept. 11, 2022, spoiling Baker Mayfield’s opener against the team that drafted him. Carolina opened with the wrong kind of history, a 59-37 loss to Chicago whose 96 combined points are the most in a season opener in NFL history. Three Carolina turnovers cracked it open, and Jalen Coker still caught eight passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns. You can stream Panthers vs Browns live on FOX One.

The series opened on Nov. 21, 1999, when Carolina won 31-17 in Cleveland during the Browns’ expansion-return season. It has stayed close and stayed rare since. The Panthers hold a 4-3 edge over seven meetings, they have never drawn each other in the postseason, and the home team has not had much of an advantage: Carolina is 2-1 in Charlotte and 2-2 on the road in the matchup.
