The Chiefs will host the Dolphins at frigid Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City in what should be one of the best first-round matchups of the 2024 NFL playoffs.
Kansas City already defeated Miami earlier this season, coming away with a 21-14 victory in Frankfurt, Germany, back in Week 9. We’ll get a highly anticipated rematch between two high-powered offenses, led by Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Tua Tagovailoa, and Tyreek Hill.
Unfortunately for NFL fans, the game will not be broadcast on national television.
NBC will still have an NFL playoff doubleheader on Saturday, beginning with a battle between the Browns and Texans at 4:30 p.m. ET on its regular network.
However, when the Chiefs and Dolphins game kicks off at 8 p.m. ET, fans outside of the Kansas City and Miami TV markets can only watch the game on NBC’s streaming service, Peacock.
