How to watch Chiefs vs. Falcons in the US
The Chiefs vs. Falcons game will air on Sunday, September 22, at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. The game is part of the network’s Sunday Night Football slate, which includes Football Night in America coverage that begins at 7 p.m. ET.
If you don’t have access to NBC through traditional cable or antenna means, you can still watch the game live, thanks to a couple of live TV streaming services. Peacock is the cheapest option, with subscriptions starting at just $8/month. Peacock’s base tier will give you access to all Sunday Night Football games throughout the season and ad-supported access to the streaming giant’s entire on-demand catalog. You can also upgrade to the Premium Plus tier for $14/month for 24/7 live streaming access to NBC and ad-free on-demand content.
Peacock is a convenient streaming source for hit NBC TV shows, Universal movies, and select sports like Sunday Night Football. Prices start at $8 a month, with additional discounts on annual plans.
If you’d rather explore a more comprehensive cable alternative that can also give you access to other non-NBC NFL games this season, we recommend giving Sling TV or Fubo a try. These are month-to-month services that allow you to cancel at any time. Sling is one of the more affordable live TV packages out there. Sling’s Blue plan, which costs $40/month, grants users access to NBC and more than 40 other channels in select regions. Right now, customers can get their first month for just $15.
For just the essentials without any extra fluff, Sling TV is the streaming service you’re looking for. It’s more customizable than other plans, with three options you can choose from, so you pay for only what you need. New members get their first month for $25 off.
If you’re looking for even more options, you can always give Fubo a try. The streaming service offers over 180 channels (including broad NBC coverage) for $80/month. First-time customers can get their introductory month for $50 should they decide to keep the service after the one-week free trial.
Fubo is the streaming service for sports fans. Its huge library of channels includes regional and international sports leagues, setting it apart from the competition. You can also tack on additional programming to your plan, but it’ll cost you extra.
How to watch Chiefs vs. Falcons in the UK and other countries
DAZN’s NFL Game Pass is the go-to NFL streaming service for fans living outside the US, with subscriptions available in tons of regions. Exact prices vary from region to region. UK subscriptions, for example, cost £16/month for a yearlong contract or £15/week for a flexible weekly plan.
