The Kansas City Chiefs made a run to the Super Bowl last year, only to lose to the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s the type of result fit for a revenge tour, and the whole league might need to watch out in 2025.
With quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce, and coach Andy Reid leading the team, I have every reason to believe the Chiefs are gonna send the league a message and stomp on some teams throughout the season. If the do that enough, maybe they’ll get to have Better Than Revenge as their theme song.
I for one can’t wait to keep tabs on all things Chiefs this season. Read on for all the channels broadcasting Chiefs games on TV and which services you’ll need to join me.
Best TV plans to watch the Kansas City Chiefs
To watch all Kansas City Chiefs games, you’ll need CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC, and Amazon Prime Video. Cord cutters can supplement the CBS channel with Paramount+ and NBC with Peacock.
In light of this, my recommendation for a one-stop shop for all these channels is YouTube TV. I’ll talk more about the service in a little bit.
Because the Chiefs have that one game on Amazon Prime Video late in the season, you’ll want to sign up for a 30-day free trial just before Week 17. I don’t think there’s any need for you spend extra just for the one game.
New for the 2025 season was a Week 1 game on YouTube that streamed for free. The ratings for the game YouTube game, though, didn’t meet expectations.
YouTube TV ($82.99/mo.)
I like YouTube TV for lots or reasons. First and foremost, I can switch easily from any local broadcast channels because of its sleek and user friendly interface. So on a day I’m watching multiple NFL games, I am less likely to miss an important play. I also love that the service’s base plan includes ESPN.
YouTube TV also has a ton of content I’m interested in, like news, other sports, movies and TV shows, and the ability to replay stuff I missed live. And the unlimited DVR storage comes in clutch for me. I don’t think you’d be disappointed if you gave this service a whirl.
