Kansas City Chiefs Top Live Streams: Every Best Way to Watch the NFL Season Online

As a Chiefs fan, I can watch the whole season without having a cable contract. There are several ways to achieve this.

In a hurry? If you just want to start watching, we think these streaming services are the best:

Why You Need a VPN Today

However, first you need a VPN to unblock US streaming services from . Our favourite is ExpressVPN. It’s definitely not the cheapest option at $6.67/month, but it just works – and across all your devices.

They have servers in 25+ US cities/states and 105 countries, which unblock access to premium streaming platforms available only in the US, as well as free “on demand” TV services worldwide.

You’ll have access to local platforms as if you were in the country, meaning you can watch BBC iPlayer as if you were in the UK, CBC Gem as if you were in Canada, plus hundreds more worldwide.

Sign Up for ExpressVPN

Hotdog users get three months free at ExpressVPN, so it’s a “no-brainer” for us. Decide for yourself with their 30 day money-back guarantee.

IMPORTANT: Once you’ve installed your VPN and connected to a US server, you’ll still need to subscribe separately to access premium streaming services.

Bottom line: 15 of the 17 regular season Chiefs matchups will air on live TV with two streaming-only (on Amazon Prime Video and Netflix). The services above have you covered for the regular and postseason. See the Chiefs schedule below.

Which Channels Do I Need to Watch the Kansas City Chiefs?

Of the Chiefs’ 17 games during the 2024-25 regular season, 13 will air on local channels CBS, Fox, and NBC. These are available from live TV streaming services, but depending on your location, you may also watch them with a digital antenna.

Additionally, two games will air on “cable” channel ESPN. Another “cable” channel, NFL Network, will show all three of the Chief’s preseason games.

Finally, two games will be available on specialty streaming services — one on Black Friday (Amazon Prime Video) and one on Christmas (Netflix).

Here is a rundown of the channels airing Chiefs games and their frequency:

How to Watch the Kansas City Chiefs Game Without Cable

Streaming the Chiefs is easy. Local fans should be able to watch every game just by signing up for one of the top live TV streaming services. Our recommendations are Fubo, DIRECTV STREAM, and Hulu + Live TV.

You then install the app for your streaming service and log in. There are apps for pretty much every streaming device in use today. Universally supported are Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Roku streaming sticks; Android and iOS mobile devices; Android TV and Samsung smart TVs; and web browsers as a last resort. There are plenty of other smart TVs and gaming systems that are also supported.

Once that is done, you just run the app and select the channel that is airing the game.

Sign Up for a Free Fubo Trial

You can watch one or more Chiefs games on a lot of different streaming services. Note that none of these have contracts, so you can sign up for the streaming-only services (Prime Video, Netflix) for one month and cancel.

The top five streaming services in the table below also provide a cloud DVR so you can record games. And all of the services allow subscribers to stream on multiple devices at once.

Out-of-Market Kansas City Chiefs Games

Kansas City Chiefs fans will be able to watch all games. But that isn’t as true for fans who live out-of-market. Given how strong a team the Chiefs are, however, their games will mostly be shown everywhere.

For those games that are not, we have an NFL Out-of-Market Football Game Guide. You will find all your options there. But the main ones are to sign up for NFL Sunday Ticket (through YouTube and YouTube TV) or use a VPN for a general streaming service. We recommend ExpressVPN combined with Fubo.

About the Kansas City Chiefs

From Arrowhead Stadium in the AFC West division, the Kansas City Chiefs have dominated the NFL recently — winning the last two league championships, Super Bowl LVII and Super Bowl LVIII.

Although the experienced Chiefs played poorly during the latter half-plus of the 2023 regular season as a 5-5 finish turned a stellar 6-1 mark into a good 11-6 record, the team knew how to turn it on when it mattered most. Four straight playoff wins, and Kansas City had secured back-to-back Super Bowl wins and victories in three of the past five editions of that game.

Why the Chiefs Keep Winning

Most will point to two contributors as the biggest factors in all of those successes. Head coach Andy Reid has led KC throughout this impressive run and has been a head coach since he took on that role in Philadelphia in 1999 while quarterback Patrick Mahomes has taken the league by storm since he was drafted 10th overall by the Chiefs in 2017 and took the KC starting job a year later.

Now the question is whether KC can become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls and the initial one since the Packers claimed the NFL’s last pre-Super Bowl title in 1965 and followed that with wins in Super Bowls I and II to win three straight overall titles.

Chiefs Roster Changes

On the defensive side, Kansas City will have to overcome the losses of linebacker Willie Gay Jr and cornerback L’Jarius Sneed to do that. However, powerful defensive tackle Chris Jones will be back wreaking havoc on offenses around the league, and linebacker Drue Tranquill will also bring his prolific skills to the Chiefs for another season.

Meanwhile, one of KC’s biggest offseason signings was that of wide receiver Marquise Brown while tight end Travis Kelce, coming back for his 12th season in Kansas City, should also be a considerable weapon in the offensive arsenal. The line is expected to be solid as well in creating holes for teammates and protecting Mahomes.

Kicker Harrison Butker should be one of the league’s best once again, but punter Matt Araiza has not played in the league since being drafted out of San Diego State in 2021.
