Where to watch Kansas City Chiefs games: Channel, live streams, schedule

The NFL season is officially underway, and the Chiefs are looking to get back on top. We've rounded up everything you need to know about where to watch Kansas City Chiefs games, whether you're in the US or an international fan.

If you're hoping to catch Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, and the rest of the Chiefs on TV, you've come to the right place. If you don't want to scroll any further, you can live stream almost every game through YouTube TV in the US (although you'll need Prime Video for the December 3 match-up against the Rams), on DAZN in Canada, and with the DAZN NFL Game Pass in the UK and most other international markets.

*Sunday afternoon games on CBS and FOX aren't nationally broadcast and are subject to regional variability.

Where to watch the Kansas City Chiefs in the US

Like the rest of the NFL, Kansas City Chiefs games are spread across several networks in the US. Games will air on ABC/ESPN, NBC, CBS, and FOX. The December 3 Thursday Night Football game against the Los Angeles Rams will be a Prime Video exclusive.

The Monday Night Football games on ABC/ESPN and the Sunday Night Football games on NBC will be nationally broadcast, along with the Thursday Night Football game on Prime Video, but Sunday afternoon games on CBS and FOX are subject to regional variability. This means that if you're a local Chiefs fan, you'll likely always have a Chiefs game shown on FOX or CBS on the days that the Chiefs are playing. However, if you live somewhere else in the US, there's a chance that a different Sunday afternoon game might be broadcast.

The best way for cord-cutters to ensure they can catch every single Kansas City Chiefs game this season is through a live TV service. YouTube TV is our top recommendation for the NFL because it also offers the NFL Sunday Ticket for an additional fee.

Standard YouTube TV subscriptions cost $83 a month for the Main plan (100+ channels, including ABC, ESPN, CBS, FOX, and NBC). However, a special limited-time deal will knock your first five months down to $68 a month. If you're only interested in sports and looking for something a little more budget-friendly, you can get the Sports plan (30+ channels, including ABC, ESPN, CBS, FOX, and NBC). Sports plan subscriptions cost $65 a month, but a limited-time deal will knock your first six months down to $45 a month. Both of these plans include access to ESPN Unlimited live streams. New customers can get a free trial, along with these introductory discounts.

The NFL Sunday Ticket allows fans to live stream every out-of-market game on Sundays, making it a great option for non-local Chiefs fans. It's available on its own or as an add-on to a YouTube TV base plan. New users can get NFL Sunday Ticket for $30 a month for eight months (or $240 a year), and returning users can get it for $60 a month for eight months (or $480 a year). If new users sign up for the YouTube TV sports plan, they can get the NFL Sunday Ticket for $47.25 a month for eight months or $378 a year.

If you're looking for a YouTube TV alternative, Fubo is one of the best live TV streaming services we've tested. It carries 200+ channels, including ABC, ESPN, NBC, CBS, and FOX. Fubo Pro costs $89 a month, but new users can get $25 off their first month after a free trial. Fubo also unlocks access to ESPN Unlimited at no extra cost.

When it comes time to catch the Chiefs vs. Rams game on Prime Video, there are a few different options. Prime Video is included in all Amazon Prime subscriptions, which cost $15 a month after a free trial. If you're only interested in Prime Video, you can get it on its own for $9 a month.

If you're only looking to watch a specific game that airs on ABC/ESPN, NBC, FOX, or CBS, all of the networks have their own stand-alone streaming services. ABC and ESPN games live stream on ESPN Unlimited ($32 a month). NBC games live stream on Peacock (from $13 a month). CBS games live stream on Paramount Plus (from $9 a month). FOX games live stream on FOX One (from $20 a month).

Additionally, most live local and primetime regular and post-season NFL games are available to live stream through NFL Plus, which starts at $7 a month. While this is a budget-friendly option, games are only available live on mobile devices, like tablets and phones, and you won't be able to watch on TV.

Where to watch the Kansas City Chiefs in Canada, the UK, and other regions

International broadcasters have agreements for select NFL games, so it's a good idea to consult your local TV guide if you're hoping to catch a specific game. In Australia, certain games are shown for free on Channel 7. In the UK, select games are available for free on Channel 5.

The easiest way for international NFL fans to reliably live stream every Chiefs game (along with the rest of the NFL teams) is through DAZN's NFL Game Pass. The streaming option offers comprehensive regular and post-season coverage in most countries outside of the US and China. Subscription prices vary by region and contract length. In Canada, NFL coverage is available in stand-alone DAZN subscriptions.

How to watch the Kansas City Chiefs from anywhere

If you're traveling abroad and still hoping to keep up with the Chiefs, you can access your favorite streaming options from anywhere with a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are cybersecurity tools that let people temporarily change the virtual locations on their electronic devices. This way, their favorite websites and apps work from anywhere in the world.

NordVPN is our top recommendation. It's fast, user-friendly (even for beginners), and has a hassle-free 30-day money-back guarantee. You can learn more in our NordVPN review.
