The Buffalo Bills head to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs, the reigning champs, for this year's AFC Championship. We've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch the Bills vs. Chiefs, including global streaming options.
The Kansas City Chiefs are attempting to three-peat their Super Bowl victory and have been fixtures at the AFC Championship since the 2018 season. The team is first in the AFC this year following a stellar 15-2 regular season. The Buffalo Bills last played in the championship in the 2020 season, losing to the Chiefs 38-24. The New York team has steadily been on the rise over the past few years, thanks in no smart part to quarterback Josh Allen, and were second in the AFC this year with a 13-4 regular season record.
While the Chiefs have been fairly unstoppable this season, the Bills pose a solid threat, considering that Buffalo was one of the two teams able to defeat Kansas City during the regular season (the other loss came during the last game of the season when the Chiefs were resting their starters after clinching divisional). The November match-up, a Buffalo home game, saw the Bills win 30-21.
Will the Chiefs make it to yet another Super Bowl, or will the Bills be able to upset the reigning champs? Below, we'll show you how to tune in, so that you don't miss out on a second of the action. Make sure to bookmark our how to watch NFL games streaming guide for more info.

Paramount Plus is the cheapest of the bunch, with subscriptions starting at $8 per month.

All subscriptions come with a one-week free trial.
If you're hoping to live stream the game on a live TV package that carries CBS and other channels (like FOX, which will host this year's Super Bowl), DirecTV Stream or Fubo can help you out. DirecTV Stream plans start at $87/month for the base Entertainment tier, which offers 90+ live channels and a five-day free trial.

How to watch Bills vs. Chiefs from anywhere
If you're traveling away from home, you can still keep up with your usual websites and apps by using a VPN.

Since the services we've highlighted today require country-specific forms of payment, this will work best for those who are just traveling abroad at the moment.
