The Buffalo Bills Radio Network is an international broadcast radio network based in Orchard Park, New York. Its primary programming is broadcasts of Buffalo Bills home and away games to a network of 28 stations across the state of New York, the province of Ontario, and the Northwestern and Northern Tiers of Pennsylvania and one station in each of Florida, Quebec and the state of Wyoming.

Previously, the broadcasts originated from WBEN through much of the team's history except for a period from 1971 to 1977 when WKBW was team flagship. WGR briefly carried games in the early 1990s. From 1998 through 2011, the Bills were flagshipped at WGRF, as well as other stations owned by Citadel Broadcasting. When Cumulus Media purchased Citadel in late 2011, it dropped Bills games from all of its stations at the end of the season.. WGRZ (2012). Retrieved September 2012. Cumulus never fully paid off the money Citadel owed for Bills games, instead eventually seeking to nullify the debt in January 2018 when the company went into bankruptcy.“Cumulus Seeks To Cancel WLUP/WKQX LMA Purchase; And Chicago PBP Deals” from Radio Insight (January 19, 2018) Entercom Communications and Galaxy Communications picked up the rights, restoring broadcasts to WGR for the 2012 season.

During the time of the Bills Toronto Series, the station was carried on CJCL in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. CHML in Hamilton also briefly carried games in the late 2010s but dropped them after re-securing the rights to the team it had carried for much of its history, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. (CHML ceased operations in 2024.)

The station added an affiliate in Wyoming in 2021, KGAB in Laramie County, Wyoming, mainly to allow Wyoming Cowboys football fans to follow Bills starting quarterback and Wyoming alumnus Josh Allen. KGAB dropped Bills games for the 2023 season but was quietly restored to the network in 2026. KGAB's signal also covers the Denver metropolitan area in Colorado and the western panhandle of Nebraska.

Chris Brown, formerly a Buffalo Destroyers play-by-play announcer who had most recently been studio host for the Bills' shows on MSG Western New York, serves as play-by-play announcer, with former Bills offensive lineman Eric Wood as color commentator and former Bills special teams ace Steve Tasker as sideline reporter.

Van Miller was the voice of the Buffalo Bills from the team's inception until 2003, with the exception of 1972 to 1978, when WKBW controlled radio rights and Miller's TV employer, WBEN-TV (now WIVB), would not permit him to appear on WKBW broadcasts. Miller was succeeded by John Murphy, his longtime color commentator, when he retired from the booth after the 2003 season. Murphy suffered a stroke in January 2023Smith, Michael David (January 6, 2023). Longtime Bills radio announcer John Murphy off the air after suffering a stroke. Profootballtalk.com. Retrieved January 16, 2023 and formally relinquished play-by-play duties in May 2024. Brown became the permanent play-by-play announcer in 2024.

In 2026, the Bills ended their affiliation with Audacy and WGR and affiliated with Good Karma Brands (now Good Karma Sports as of August 2026) as its broadcast partner. WGRF returned as their flagship station starting with the 2026 season, with multiple new affiliates, including Good Karma-owned stations in New York City and South Florida, home markets to two Bills division rivals. Shortly before the start of the Bills preseason, the team secured carriage of the Bills radio network in Canada, via the three remaining affiliates of TSN Radio and the TSN national stream on iHeartRadio Canada. As WGRF (97 Rock) is primarily a music station, Good Karma took over operations of Cumulus's lone remaining Buffalo AM station WBBF in September 2026 to provide an on-air home for the Bills' daily call-in talk show One Bills Live.
