Channel Surfing Like a Champ: The Art of the Free Antenna
Remember those old-fashioned things with rabbit ears on top? Believe it or not, free over-the-air (OTA) broadcasts are still a thing! If the Chiefs are playing on a local CBS affiliate, you can snag the game with a simple antenna. Bonus points for creativity! Craft your own antenna with some aluminum foil and coat hangers (think MacGyver chic).
Word to the wise: Check your local listings beforehand to see if the game is being aired on CBS and if you're within range of a decent signal. Nobody wants fuzzy Mahomes magic.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
Befriending a Cable or Streaming Service Friend (The Shameless Strategy)
We all have that one friend or family member with every streaming service under the sun. Operation: Befriend the Binge Watcher might be your best bet. Just remember to bring the dip and avoid spilling your nachos on their precious couch.
Pro Tip: Offer to help them with some tech support in exchange for access. Everyone wins! (Except maybe your dignity... but hey, free Chiefs game!)

The Digital Dive: Exploring Free Trial Offers (But Beware the Black Hole)
Many streaming services offer free trial periods. This can be a goldmine for frugal fans, but tread carefully! Set those calendar reminders to cancel before you get charged. There's nothing worse than checking your bank account only to discover a Chiefs-sized hole where your savings used to be.
Services to explore (at your own risk): YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, FuboTV (all offer free trials, but check terms and conditions).
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.
Hail Mary: Hoping for a Radio Broadcast (For the True Diehards)
Let's be honest, the thrill of the catch isn't quite the same without the visuals. But if you're down to an old-school radio experience, you can usually find Chiefs games on local sports stations. Just picture Mahomes in your mind's eye, like a glorious pixelated image on a bygone Nintendo screen.
