Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco 49ers: How to watch, kickoff time, channel and more

The 5-0 Kansas City Chiefs will visit the 3-3 San Francisco 49ers on Sunday for their first meeting since the Chiefs defeated the 49ers during Super Bowl LVIII in February. Despite the two teams’ history, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan emphasized that the past is the past. “Everyone understands that we’ve lost the two Super Bowls to them. So I mean, that can give a little post-traumatic stress when you turn on the tape. I think that’s human nature,” he stated. “But you’ve got to make sure you don’t get caught up in that. This game has nothing to do with past games, that was last year.”

The game will air at 4:25 p.m. ET with a national broadcast on Fox; Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady will be on the call. Here’s all the info you need about today’s Chiefs vs. 49ers game, and check out live game-day updates here.

How to watch every NFL game this season:

Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you’re looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna). A $7/month subscription to NFL+ will get you access to NFL Network which can be great for watching some games, but the downside of NFL+ is that when it comes to the regular season, it’s just local and primetime games (and only on mobile or tablet!). In which case, here’s what we recommend to watch the NFL.

Fubo TV gives you access to ESPN, NFL Network, Fox, ABC, CBS and 100+ more live channels. At $80/month, the live TV streaming service is definitely a big investment for football fans. But it offers nearly every channel you’ll need to watch the NFL season, and still leaves you with major savings compared to a traditional cable package. Fubo subscribers also get 1000 hours of cloud DVR storage.

The platform also offers a free trial period, so you can catch some games risk-free. Right now you can get $20 off any Fubo tier for your first month.
