September 2026 is a big month for broadcast TV. Football is back, fall shows and there are plenty of new premieres and live events coming to your local channels.
The football season gets underway this month, with the NFL Kickoff Game, Football Night in America, and Sunday Night Football all returning to NBC. This month also brings events like the Primetime Emmy Awards, the MTV Video Music Awards and the return of favorites like The Voice, Survivor, and The Amazing Race.
There are also several new series making their broadcast debut, so there is plenty to watch whether you’re tuning in for football, comedies or live events. The good news is these programs are airing on broadcast TV channels like ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and PBS without adding another streaming subscription to your monthly bill.
And you don’t have to choose between an antenna and streaming. Use your antenna for the network and local channels and the live events you want to watch, then use your streaming services for everything else. It’s an easy way to get more TV without continuing to add monthly costs.
Your Antenna Is More Than Entertainment
A TV antenna can also be a smart backup plan this fall. When severe weather knocks out cable, internet or satellite service, your antenna will give you access to available local broadcast channels for news, weather and emergency information. With football season and severe weather all happening around the same time, September is a good reminder to make sure you have an antenna ready to go.
Mohu is part of the Antennas Direct family, so you can find Mohu’s indoor TV antennas along with the Antennas Direct full lineup of ClearStream indoor and outdoor antennas all in one place. Don’t have an antenna yet? Get one today and be ready for the September television season.
