Patriots vs Chiefs live stream: how to watch tonight's NFL playoffs from anywhere

[sincity]

We're one game away from knowing what Super Bowl LIII is going to look like. It's time for the New England Patriots to take on the Kansas City Chiefs at the Arrowhead Stadium to see which one will earn a spot in this year’s Super Bowl. And there's no reason to miss out on the NFL playoff action - this guide will tell you how to get a Patriots vs Chiefs live stream regardless of where in the world you are.

The Patriots are entering the game on a high after defeating the Chiefs’ AFC West Rival the Los Angeles Chargers 41-28 while the Chiefs earned a solid 31-13 victory in their NFL Divisional Round against the Indianapolis Colts.

Today’s game will see Patriots quarterback Tom Brady go up against this season’s MVP favorite in Patrick Mahomes. Mahones has really shined during his first season as a full-time starter with 50 touchdowns and he will certainly be one to watch during today’s game.

The stakes will certainly be high as the Patriots look to make it through to their third consecutive Super Bowl. The Chiefs on the other hand, have only won the Super Bowl once and that was back in 1970 - time to tear up the history books?

Whether you’re a Patriots fan in New England, a Chiefs fan in Kansas City or a football fan anywhere in the world, we’ll show you exactly how to live stream the AFC Championship on all of your devices so that you don’t miss a minute of the action - and there's advice on watching a Rams vs Saints live stream as well, if you want to see that game as well.

How to watch the Patriots vs Chiefs game online from anywhere in the world

Watching from the US or UK? We'll tell you how to catch the AFC Championship final, further down the article.

But if you're somewhere else and just don't have the luxury of turning on your TV to watch NFL action - or if a coverage blackout is stopping you from watching in the US - then there's still a way you can live stream Patriots vs Chiefs online (and you don't even have to slum it with a grainy, illegal feed you've found on Reddit). Instead you could use a VPN - or Virtual Private Network - to change the IP address to one in a different state or country which does have a stream so that you can watch the AFC Championship from anywhere in the world. And it's not even hard to do.

How to watch the Patriots vs Chiefs in the US

If you live in the US and have a television, you’ll be able to watch the Patriots vs the Chiefs on CBS. The network will show the game at 6.40pm ET / 3.40pm PT and you can also watch it on your favorite streaming and mobile devices via CBS All Access. Unfortunately though, the service isn't free and will cost you either $5.99 a month with limited commercials or $9.99 a month commercial free

If signing up for a premium cable subscription just to watch the NFL isn’t for you, keep reading as we’ll breakdown all the different ways to stream Patriots vs Chiefs live below.

Can I watch with the NFL Game Pass?

Well it's no and yes. The Game Pass in the US will only let you watch a replay of the AFC Championship Game, but not the live action. We're guessing it must have something to do with the massive amount of money that CBS has paid to show it.

Interestingly, it's a different story with an International NFL Game Pass that's currently available for just $25.99 (£19.99). Shame you can't officially get access to that if you and your laptop's IP address is in the US.
