The Miami Dolphins had a chance to win the AFC East title Sunday night and host a playoff game this weekend. Instead, after falling to the rival Bills last weekend, they’re heading to Kansas City to battle Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the Chiefs in Saturday’s second Wild Card game of the weekend.
Kansas City enters the playoffs having finished 11-6 in the regular season and having rested a number of their starters in Week 18 as their playoff position was already secure.
Whereas Saturday’s first game aired on NBC, this contest will stream nationally on Peacock (as well as on broadcast TV in the local Miami and Kansas City markets) with kickoff called for 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT). Here is how you can watch, stream and follow along.

Patrick Mahomes comes into Saturday’s game having registered 35 passing touchdowns so far this season for the Chiefs.
This NFL Wild Card fixture sees the Chiefs host the Dolphins at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on Saturday. The game will take place at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, home of the Chiefs.
If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game and that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic. It’s also a great idea for when you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. If your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, non blackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US and Canada, as long as you’ve got a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
