| What Channel Is The Kansas City Chiefs On |
CBS: Your Most Likely Landing Spot
The Kansas City Chiefs call CBS their primary broadcast partner. That means, if it's a regular season game and it's not a fancy primetime matchup (think Monday Night Football or Sunday Night Football), you'll probably find Patrick Mahomes slinging lasers on your local CBS affiliate. But here's the catch (there's always a catch, right?) – it depends on your location. CBS has those pesky "local markets" things, so what airs in Kansas City might not be the same as what graces your grandma's screen in Schenectady.
Pro Tip: Head over to your local CBS station's website or channel listing to see their schedule. They usually lay it all out nice and clear – no need to become a detective on this one.
Beyond CBS: A League of Its Own
Now, let's say the Chiefs are playing a showdown on a different night or it's the postseason. Don't despair! Here's where things get a little more network-y:
QuickTip: A slow read reveals hidden insights.
- Fox: These sly foxes might snag some inter-conference games, so keep an eye peeled on their listings too.
- Streaming Services: Services like Paramount+ often carry the NFL on CBS feed, so you can catch the Chiefs virtually if you're rocking a smart TV or other device.
- NFL Specific Options: There's also NFL+ and NFL Sunday Ticket, but these guys can get a bit pricey.
Remember: A little online searching can be your best friend here. Figure out which network has the game and then see what streaming options you might have.
Bonus Round: The Art of Avoiding the Blackout
Let's say you're at your friend's house, and their cable package is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Fear not, for there's still hope! Some clever bars and restaurants might have the game on, or you could try your luck with a friendly neighbor (armed with a plate of cookies, of course).
Desperate times call for desperate measures, but hey, a Chiefs win is worth a little effort, right?
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
