Cable Cutters, Rejoice!
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
Forget wrestling with a tangled mess of coaxial cables. These days, there are more ways to catch a Chiefs game than there are blades of grass at Arrowhead (and let's be honest, that's a lot of blades). Here's your rundown of the top streaming options:
- Paramount+: Your one-stop shop for all things CBS, including NFL on CBS games. Think of it as your digital ticket to Mahomes magic. Bonus: They also have a mountain of shows to keep you entertained during commercial breaks.
- Hulu + Live TV: This bad boy bundles live TV with Hulu's streaming library, so you can catch the Chiefs and indulge in your favorite reality trash TV all in one place. Just don't get too distracted by housewives when it's 3rd and long.

Old School Cool: Cable Still Exists (Believe it or Not!)
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
For those clinging to the comforting glow of their cable box (hey, no judgement!), here's the lowdown:
- CBS: The Chiefs' primary broadcast partner. Fire up that dusty bunny-eared antenna or flip to the right channel and pray the reception gods are smiling upon you.
- Other Networks (FOX, NBC, ESPN): The Chiefs might make an appearance on these channels for primetime games or special matchups. Keep an eye on the schedule and dust off your team spirit.
Important Note: Since the NFL schedule isn't out yet, you'll need to check closer to the season to see exactly which channel each game will be on.
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
Bonus Round: The App Approach
Tip: Skim once, study twice.
- NFL App: Watch out-of-market preseason games and select regular season and postseason games live on your phone or tablet. Just a heads up: There may be blackout restrictions for local games.
- CBS Sports App: Supplement your Paramount+ subscription with the CBS Sports App to catch live streams of games and highlights.
