How to watch Chiefs Dolphins NFL playoff game streaming on Peacock

A new NFL first is here — and many fans are understandably not excited about it. For the first time in the league’s history, an NFL playoff game will be exclusively available through streaming without a cable alternative (aside from local markets) when the Miami Dolphins take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the wild card round Jan.

13. Kickoff is scheduled for a 8:15 p.m. ET at Arrowhead Stadium and the game will stream on NBC’s streaming service Peacock. Both the sixth seeded Miami and third seeded Chiefs sit at 11 6. Kansas City triumphed over the Dolphins during the regular season, 21 14. Whether you’re rooting for Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins or excited about a possible Taylor Swift sighting , here’s how you can watch the Saturday night showdown.

Unfortunately, Peacock is one of the few streaming services that does not offer a free trial to users. Anyone looking to watch the Chiefs Dolphins game must pay for at least a month of service. Instacart+ customers are entitled to free Peacock subscriptions . Instacart+ offers a free two week trial, and as long as the subscription is canceled during the trial period then Peacock can be accessed for free during that time.

Registering for Peacock should take under five minutes for users. All you need to do to the streaming service’s website , pick between the two subscription options and put in your billing information. For those willing to watch with ads, Peacock costs $5.99 per month. For the streaming service’s premium plus option without ads, it costs $11.99 per month.

Users can cancel at any time and will retain viewing access through the end of the billing period. Fans living in the Kansas City or Miami areas can still watch on their local NBC affiliates. The Dolphins have struggled in cold weather , and it could be dangerously cold in Kansas City. Here are the odds, courtesy of FanDuel ..
