While there are plenty of good NFL games on tap this weekend, it’s going to be pretty hard to top Sunday’s game starting at 4:25 p.m. ET.
The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs will square off, adding a fresh chapter to the growing rivalry between two of the league’s best quarterbacks. Kansas City is looking to extend its impressive undefeated streak, but Buffalo could be its biggest challenge in doing so yet. The Bills have lost just two games this year and are running away with the AFC East.
This likely won’t be the last matchup of these two teams this year. Both seem playoff bound, so this week could be the preview of an even higher stakes game to come. Grab the popcorn.
Here’s all you need to know about that matchup and this week’s other games.

How can I watch NFL games for free—even if I am out of market?
The best way to watch any sort of network programming for free on a big screen is with a good HD antenna. To ensure you’re getting the most reliable signal, be sure to test the antenna in multiple locations in your home.
Can I stream 2024 NFL games live online if I don’t have a cable subscription?
You bet! There are a number of different options to do so.
Paramount+
CBS’s streaming service will give you a one-week free trial, followed by a $8 or $13 monthly charge. (An annual plan is as low as $30 right now.)
Peacock
NBC’s streaming service will give you access to several games, including all upcoming Sunday night matchups. It carries a $8 or $14 monthly charge—and the service has recently done away with its free trial. (The free version of Peacock does not include live sports.)
Disney+
Disney’s bundle of Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ no longer has a free trial, so you’ll have to pay $17 per month for all three combined (or $30 per month for no ads on Hulu).
Including Live TV in the bundle bumps the price to $77 per month ($90 with no ads).
Hulu with Live TV
The free trial on this service lasts three days. After, it will cost you $77 per month.
YouTubeTV
After a free trial, you can expect monthly charges of $73.
Sling TV
The lower-tiered “Orange” plan for Dish Network’s Sling will run you $40 per month. Adding the more comprehensive “Blue” plan bumps the cost to $55 per month. The seven-day free trial has disappeared, unfortunately.
DirecTV Stream
Formerly known as DirecTV Now, AT&T TVNow and AT&T TV, this oft-renamed streaming service will run you $80 per month and up after the free-trial option. (The package that includes NFL Network will run you $99 per month.)
Fubo TV
This sports-focused cord-cutting service carries broadcast networks in most markets. There’s a seven-day free trial, followed by monthly charges of $80 and up, depending on the channels you choose.
Can I watch NFL games on Amazon?
Only on Thursday. Amazon is the home of Thursday Night Football once again, with the exception of Thanksgiving (though it will air a game on Black Friday). The first matchup on Amazon this year will be the Washington Commanders facing the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 14.
Does the NFL offer any viewing packages to watch the games I want?
Three of ‘em.
NFL App
The NFL App will let you stream games that are being broadcast locally in your market on Sundays. If you want to watch an “out of market” game, you’ve got two choices.
NFL+
Watch live local and out of market games and (with the premium subscription) replays. You’re looking at a $50 charge per season. ($100 for premium.)
NFL Sunday Ticket
YouTube once again is the home for this channel. Prices this year start at $73 per month for Sunday Ticket and YouTubeTV, or $449 for just Sunday Ticket (spanning the entirety of out-of-market games this season).
