Where to watch on TV
The NFL locked this matchup into the national late window on CBS. Kickoff is Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET, 3:25 p.m. CT, 2:25 p.m. MT. Most of the country will get it.
In the local markets, the game airs on the CBS affiliate.
- Kansas City, KCTV 5
- Denver, KCNC CBS 4
CBS will carry The NFL Today in the early afternoon. Local pregame shows in both markets will roll into live coverage. Plan on a quick handoff to the booth just after the top of the hour.
If you are in the KC or Denver TV market, CBS is your simplest path. An antenna works if your signal is strong.
Streaming options for cord cutters
If you stream, you have clean routes to the broadcast. Paramount+ carries your local CBS feed in most markets. Sign in, enable location, and select the live channel tile. The CBS Sports app also streams with a pay TV login.
Live TV streaming bundles with local CBS in many areas include YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Fubo. Make sure your billing ZIP code and device location match your market.
NFL+ streams local and prime time games on phones and tablets. That is a handy backup for travel days or second screens. It does not cast to TV, so use it on mobile only.

Log in 15 minutes early. Update your app, test audio, and lock in your connection before kickoff.
Out of market, here is how to see it
If your CBS affiliate is showing a different game, you will need the out of market package. NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV is the play. Choose the Chiefs vs. Broncos tile in the late window. Single game purchase is not offered, so you need the package.
A quick checklist for out of market fans:
- Confirm your local CBS listing on your TV guide
- If not airing, open Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV
- Turn off VPNs, set location, and pick the late window feed
- Keep a phone handy with NFL+ as an emergency backup
Blackout and regional rules apply. VPNs and DNS tricks can break streams or lock your account. Do not risk the game.
Radio and mobile audio
Driving or working on Sunday. You still have options. In Kansas City, the Chiefs Radio Network is led by WDAF-FM 106.5 The Wolf. In Denver, the Broncos Radio Network is anchored by KOA 850 AM and 94.1 FM. Team apps often carry local calls inside the market. Outside the footprint, use a national audio subscription service that carries NFL team feeds.
What this matchup means on the field
The rivalry sets the tone in the West. Patrick Mahomes owns late game moments, and the Chiefs lean on timing routes and spacing. Travis Kelce stresses Denver’s safeties and linebackers. Watch his option routes on third down.
Chris Jones keys a Kansas City defense that has become fast and disciplined. If he wins early downs, the Chiefs can heat the pocket and force mistakes. Denver’s answer starts with balance. Sean Payton will probe the edges with motion, then hit play action. Courtland Sutton is the jump ball ace. Rookie growth at quarterback has added rhythm and quick game confidence, which helps the Broncos stay ahead of the chains.
The tactical hinge is simple. Can Denver’s corners, led by Pat Surtain II, contest at the catch without flags. If they hold up, the Broncos can keep two safeties deep and limit explosives. If not, Kansas City will stack drives, own field position, and bleed the fourth quarter.
Final checks before kickoff
You have the path. CBS for most fans, Paramount+ for in market streaming, Sunday Ticket for out of market. Radio is locked in if you are on the move. Now confirm your setup, charge your devices, and get settled.
This game has playoff weight. It also carries pride. Chiefs, Broncos, and an afternoon window built for drama. See you at kickoff.
