Cleveland Browns Radio Network: Stations and Listening

92.3 FM is a Cleveland-area station for Browns game broadcasts, with 98.5 FM and 850 AM as the other local flagship choices. The University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network also reaches listeners through affiliates, Browns digital audio, and the team app. Use the options below to find today’s game, catch the pregame coverage, or listen to Browns shows during the week.

What the Cleveland Browns Radio Network Is

The University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network is the team’s year-round audio network for live game coverage, pregame and postgame programming, coach shows, and Browns news.

It has 26 affiliates plus three flagship stations: 850 ESPN Cleveland, 92.3 The Fan, and 98.5 WNCX. The three flagships give Cleveland listeners more than one way to hear the team, which is useful if one station’s signal is weak where you are listening.

The network is not limited to game days. The network also carries regular-season programming from the Browns’ CrossCountry Mortgage Campus in Berea, including interviews with players and coaches.

How to Listen to Browns Games and Shows

Use the flagship station that best fits how you are listening, then use the official game-day listing to confirm that day’s feed.

Choose the listening method that matches where you are and what you want to hear.

Step 1: Choose a Local Flagship or Network Affiliate

If you are in the Cleveland area, start with a flagship station. For an FM radio, 92.3 The Fan and 98.5 WNCX are the primary choices; 850 ESPN Cleveland is the AM option.
If you are farther away, look for a Browns Radio Network affiliate serving your area. An affiliate serving your area carries the official call.
Use the band that matches the station. A portable radio must be set to AM for 850 ESPN Cleveland and FM for the two FM flagships.
If one signal has static, try another flagship or affiliate rather than assuming the game is unavailable.

Step 2: Tune In for the Pregame Show

Work backward from the listed kickoff time.
The Pregame Show begins 4 hours before every preseason and regular-season game.
Listen on 98.5 WNCX, 850 ESPN Cleveland, the Cleveland Browns Radio Network, ClevelandBrowns.com, or the Browns mobile app.
Stay with the network through kickoff for the live game broadcast. The three flagship stations carry the live preseason and regular-season game call.

The pregame lineup is useful when you want injury updates, lineup discussion, opponent analysis, and game-day interviews before the broadcast begins.

Step 3: Listen on a Phone, Browser, or Smart Speaker

Open ClevelandBrowns.com or the Browns mobile app and look for the live radio or game-day audio option.
Mobile and smart-speaker Browns coverage is available within a 100-mile radius of Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.
To listen to 92.3 The Fan through its supported app, open the App Store or Google Play and search for “Audacy.” Install the app, then search for 92.3 The Fan.
Allow location access if the app requests it. Live professional sports audio can be location-dependent, so a blocked feed may indicate that your device is outside the available coverage area.
If the stream is unavailable, use an over-the-air flagship signal if you can receive one, or locate a Browns Radio Network affiliate near you.

Step 4: Confirm the Broadcast Before Kickoff

The current game-day audio listing identifies the feed for that day’s broadcast.
Verify that you are hearing the pregame show or live game call rather than regular station programming.
If you are using a radio, retune the station carefully.
If you are using an app, close and reopen the live player, verify your internet connection, and check that location services are enabled.
Keep a second flagship or nearby affiliate in mind in case of weak reception or a temporary stream issue.

What You Hear on Browns Game Day

The network’s game-day coverage has three parts: pregame, the live game broadcast, and postgame reaction.

Pregame Coverage

The Pregame Show starts 4 hours before preseason and regular-season games. It is carried by 98.5 WNCX, 850 ESPN Cleveland, the Browns Radio Network, ClevelandBrowns.com, and the Browns mobile app.

Live Game Broadcast

At kickoff, the Browns Radio Network switches to the official live game call. In Cleveland, the three flagship outlets are the most direct choice; outside the area, an affiliate may be the better over-the-air option.

For a holiday, international, or unusually timed game, confirm that the station has moved from regular programming to Browns coverage. Those situations can affect the surrounding station lineup even when the network broadcast remains available.

Postgame Coverage

The Postgame Show begins immediately after every preseason and regular-season game. It airs on 92.3 The Fan, throughout the Browns Radio Network, on ClevelandBrowns.com, and in the Browns mobile app.

Postgame programming usually includes reaction, analysis, press-conference sound, and discussion of the next matchup.

Browns Radio Shows During the Week

Game broadcasts are only part of the network’s schedule. These shows provide official Browns coverage between games.

Cleveland Browns Preview Show

The Cleveland Browns Preview Show airs Mondays during preseason and Wednesdays during the regular season from 7–8 p.m. It is available on 92.3 The Fan, 850 ESPN Cleveland, the Browns Radio Network, ClevelandBrowns.com, and the Browns mobile app.

Todd Monken Show

The Todd Monken Show airs Tuesdays during preseason and Thursdays during the regular season from 7–8 p.m. Listen on 92.3 The Fan, 850 ESPN Cleveland, the Cleveland Browns Radio Network, ClevelandBrowns.com, or the Browns mobile app.

The program focuses on game preparation and analysis of the upcoming opponent. The program’s schedule changes between preseason and regular season.

Cleveland Browns Daily and Browns Weekend

According to the Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Browns Daily airs Monday through Friday from 3–5 p.m. on 850 ESPN Cleveland, ClevelandBrowns.com, and the Browns mobile app. It provides daily team news, interviews, analysis, and discussion from the Browns’ Berea facility.

Cleveland Browns Weekend airs Saturdays from 6–8 a.m.

Listening Outside Cleveland

A Browns fan does not need to be in downtown Cleveland to hear the official radio call. The network’s affiliates extend coverage into surrounding areas, and the Browns’ audio pages offer team-produced shows and on-demand episodes.

For over-the-air listening, choose a Browns Radio Network affiliate that serves your area. A station may carry Browns games without airing Browns programming all day, while another sports station may not have rights to the game broadcast.

For listening on a phone or smart speaker, Browns mobile and smart-speaker coverage is available within a 100-mile radius of Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio. Beyond the coverage area, a network affiliate is usually the clearest path to the live local call.

Getting a Clearer Browns Radio Signal

For an FM station, extend the radio’s telescoping antenna fully and move the radio a few feet if the sound is noisy or multipath-distorted.
For an AM station, slowly rotate the radio.
In a car, try the alternate flagship station before assuming you have driven out of range.
If you are using an app, compare the stream with an over-the-air radio when possible. This helps identify whether the issue is reception, mobile data, or a location-based stream limit.
