The Chiefs have been the NFL’s most-televised team since Patrick Mahomes signed his first MVP. Three Super Bowl wins in five seasons, the kind of dynasty that pulls every primetime slot in the league. Sunday Night Football. Monday Night Football. Thursday Night Football. Christmas Day. The Chiefs draw all of them, plus the AFC Championship more often than not, plus the Super Bowl when they get there. The bar audience for any KC double-header runs deeper than any other AFC team — the Mahomes-era jersey numbers and the Andy Reid offence have hooked a viewership that crosses regional lines.
Kansas City’s local broadcast is split between CBS (the AFC affiliate) and FOX (when the Chiefs face an NFC opponent at home, or play a road game with NFC hosts). Out-of-market viewers need YouTube TV’s NFL Sunday Ticket package — $349 a season standalone, $299 for YouTube TV subscribers. The primetime windows are nationally televised: NBC for Sunday Night Football, ESPN for Monday Night Football, Amazon Prime Video for Thursday Night Football. NFL+ adds RedZone and the league’s own mobile streams.
For live football fixtures see the Premier League guide. Chiefs NFL coverage doesn’t include the soccer fixture widget.
Where every Chiefs game streams stateside
In-market (Kansas City) — Local CBS affiliate (KCTV) for AFC games, local FOX affiliate (WDAF) for NFC opponents. Free over the air with an antenna or any cable package. YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and fuboTV all carry the local affiliates.
Out-of-market Sunday games — NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. $349 a season standalone, $299 for YouTube TV subscribers, $449 for the Sunday Ticket + RedZone bundle. The Chiefs’ road-game Sunday windows that don’t air on the local CBS or FOX affiliate go to Sunday Ticket.
Sunday Night Football — NBC and Peacock. The Chiefs draw SNF four to six times a season. NBC airs free over the air; Peacock at $7.99 a month for the streaming version.
Monday Night Football — ESPN, simulcast on ABC for select weeks. Cable or streaming-cable bundle required. The Chiefs land in the MNF window two or three times a season.
Thursday Night Football — Amazon Prime Video exclusive. $14.99 a month or $139 a year for Prime. Local market viewers get the broadcast free over the air on the home team’s local affiliate.
Christmas Day, Thanksgiving, special slates (The Chiefs play the headline Christmas window most years. Network varies) Netflix took the Christmas Day double-header starting 2024 ($6.99 a month for the basic ad tier). Thanksgiving usually falls on CBS or FOX depending on the matchup.
NFL+ Premium — $14.99 a month, mobile-only live games and RedZone for Sundays. Useful as a complement to Sunday Ticket but not a substitute.
Playoffs — CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC rotate the divisional and conference round games. Super Bowl rotates between CBS, FOX, and NBC. The streaming partner each year is the network’s streaming arm — Paramount+, Tubi, or Peacock.
The Sunday Ticket move and the Chiefs
NFL Sunday Ticket left DirecTV satellite for YouTube TV starting 2023-24. Google paid roughly $2 billion a year for the package. For Chiefs out-of-market viewers, the move cut the Sunday Ticket price from DirecTV’s $400 to YouTube TV’s $349, and added multi-view (up to four games on a single screen) and mobile streaming. The Chiefs road games that don’t air on the local CBS or FOX affiliate are the core Sunday Ticket use case for KC fans living in California, Texas, the Northeast.
What it costs
Local KC viewers: free over-the-air for the local broadcast, plus Peacock at $7.99 for SNF, plus a streaming-cable bundle for ESPN MNF. Roughly $30 a month for a basic Chiefs setup.
Out-of-market viewers: YouTube TV at $82.99 a month including local CBS and FOX affiliates plus the Sunday Ticket add-on ($299 for subscribers, prorated to roughly $30 a month). Add Peacock and Amazon Prime for the primetime games. Roughly $130 a month for full Chiefs coverage outside KC.
Frequently asked questions

Does NFL+ replace Sunday Ticket? No. NFL+ is mobile-only for live games and doesn’t carry the full Sunday slate. Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV is the only legal path to every Chiefs out-of-market game.
What about the Christmas Day Chiefs game? Netflix has carried the Christmas Day double-header since 2024. $6.99 a month on the ad tier. Free with most Netflix bundles.
