Let’s be honest. No matter how good this week’s conference championship games are, they’re going to have a hard time living up to the divisional games.

The Buffalo Bills–Kansas City Chiefs game has widely been called one of the best of all time. And in every matchup, the winner was decided in the final seconds. It was riveting. It was exciting. And it was heartbreaking for many.

Time marches on, though. And this week, the winners of those titanic battles will face each other to determine who will play in the 2022 Super Bowl.

Looking to stream this weekend’s games or not sure who’s playing when? We’ve got a look at the matchups—and several different options for viewing.

Which NFL teams are playing this week? And what channels are airing the games?

If you caught last weekend’s games, you likely know the teams. Here’s when they’re playing. (The home team is listed second.)

Saturday, Jan. 30

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Kansas City Chiefs, 3:00 p.m. ET on CBS

San Francisco 49ers vs. Los Angeles Rams, 6:30 p.m. ET on Fox

How can I watch the NFL playoffs for free—even if I am out of market?

Markets don’t matter in the playoffs. The games are broadcast everywhere. But if you’ve cut the cord, the best way to watch any sort of network programming for free on a big screen is with a good HD antenna. And NFL games are one of the easiest to view, since they air on broadcast networks, meaning you’ll be able to watch even if you don’t have a cable subscription. To ensure you’re getting the most reliable signal, be sure to test the antenna in multiple locations in your home.
