The New England Patriots will take on the Kansas City Chiefs tonight at the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City to see which team will earn a spot in this year’s Super Bowl. And there’s no reason to miss out on the NFL playoff action – this guide will tell you how to get a Patriots vs Chiefs live stream regardless of where in the world you are.
The Patriots are entering the game on a high after defeating the Chiefs’ AFC West Rival the Los Angeles Chargers 41-28 while the Chiefs earned a solid 31-13 victory in their NFL Divisional Round against the Indianapolis Colts.
AFC Championship Game – when and where
The New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs will face off on Saturday January 20 to see which team will go onto play in the 2019 Super Bowl.
The game will take place at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri and kickoff time is set for 5.40pm local time (so 6.40pm New England time, 3.40pm PT, 11:40pm GMT).
Today’s game will see Patriots quarterback Tom Brady go up against this season’s MVP favorite in Patrick Mahomes. Mahones has really shined during his first season as a full-time starter with 50 touchdowns and he will certainly be one to watch during today’s game.
The stakes will certainly be high as the Patriots look to make it through to their third consecutive Super Bowl. The Chiefs on the other hand, have only won the Super Bowl once and that was back in 1970 – time to tear up the history books?
Whether you’re a Patriots fan in New England, a Chiefs fan in Kansas City or a football fan anywhere in the world, we’ll show you exactly how to live stream the AFC Championship on all of your devices so that you don’t miss a minute of the action.
How to watch the Patriots vs Chiefs game online from anywhere in the world
Watching from the US or UK? We’ll tell you how to catch the AFC Championship final, further down the article.
But if you’re somewhere else and just don’t have the luxury of turning on your TV to watch NFL action – or if a coverage blackout is stopping you from watching in the US – then there’s still a way you can live stream Patriots vs Chiefs online (and you don’t even have to slum it with a grainy, illegal feed you’ve found on Reddit). Instead you could use a VPN – or Virtual Private Network – to change the IP address to one in a different state or country which does have a stream so that you can watch the AFC Championship from anywhere in the world. And it’s not even hard to do.
We’ve tested over 100 VPNs to try and settle on the best and we think that ExpressVPN is the undisputed champ. It’s fast, secure and compatible with loads of devices (including Android, iOS, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation, etc). You can even try it for 30 days for free. That’s why Express takes all the plaudits. But that’s not to say there are some other very impressive options out there, with our top three being:
1. ExpressVPN: the best all-round VPN for streaming, comes with 30-day trial and then 3 months free with an annual plan
2. IPVanish: supports up to 10 devices, so great on the go
3. NordVPN: SmartPlay tech makes NordVPN a great, affordable choice for streaming
From there, you simply open the VPN app, hit ‘choose location’ and select the appropriate location – it’s super easy to do. Choose any country showing a Patriots vs Chiefs live stream and watch as if you were in that country.

How to watch the Patriots vs. the Chiefs in the UK
American football fans in the UK will be able to watch the Patriots vs. the Chiefs on either Sky Sports Main Event or Sky Sports USA. The network will show the game at 11:40pm GMT on Sunday but a subscription is required. Sky Sports subscribers will also be able to watch all the action on their mobile devices via the Sky Go app.
If £33.99 a month is too steep for you, you can always watch the game by purchasing a Sky Sports pass on Now TV. The service doesn’t show every NFL game but luckily it is showing both the NFC and AFC Championships. A Sky Sports day pass will run you £7.99 but there are also weekly and monthly passes available if there happen to be other games you’d like to watch as well.
Out of the UK this weekend? If geo-blocking is getting in your way of watching the NFL action then you could try downloading and installing a VPN as described further up the page. That will let you then change your IP address to the UK and watch has if you were sat back at home.
