Kansas City won the first meeting 31 to 10. On Sunday, November 1, the Chiefs visit Denver at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+, and UK fans get it free on Channel 5. Here are the channels, prices, and kickoff times worldwide.
The Chiefs and Broncos have played 133 times, and Kansas City has won 74 of them to Denver’s 59. The first meeting of 2026 wasn’t close: on September 14 at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs won 31 to 10. Since then the AFC West, the four-team division both clubs play in, has tightened. Kansas City leads it with 5 wins and 1 loss. Denver sits right behind with 5 wins and 2 losses, has won three straight, and hasn’t lost at home this season. Sunday will show whether the Chiefs can pull away or the division becomes a real race.
Here’s how to watch Chiefs vs. Broncos: CBS has it Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET, and Paramount+ streams it.
That’s 2:25 p.m. in Denver and 1:25 p.m. on the West Coast.
In the UK, it’s free on Channel 5 at 9:25 p.m.
At home, that’s the whole story. On the road, it isn’t, because Paramount+ only streams the NFL on CBS when your local CBS station carries the game, and the app decides that by where you are. Below: channels by country, a side-by-side of the main ways to watch, with prices, kickoff times around the world, and the fix for traveling fans.
As of October 29, 2026, according to the NFL, both clubs, and the broadcasters:
Country | Where to watch | Free? |
|---|---|---|
United States | CBS; stream on Paramount+ | Yes, with an antenna where your CBS station airs it |
United Kingdom | Sky Sports+, Channel 5, NFL Game Pass on DAZN | Yes, Channel 5 |
Ireland | NFL Game Pass on DAZN | No |
Canada | DAZN, Game Pass included | No |
Australia | NFL Game Pass on DAZN | No |
Sunday afternoon games on CBS are regional, so Paramount+ tells viewers to check local listings. If you live in a market that gets another game, NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube or YouTube TV picks up the out-of-market feed.
In Canada, the game is on DAZN, where Game Pass comes with the regular subscription. TSN carries the NFL’s primetime games, and a 4:25 p.m. Sunday kickoff isn’t one of them.
NFL+ streams local games too, but only on mobile devices.
For the full list of US services, see our guide to streaming services in the US.
Yes, in two places.
In the US, CBS is a broadcast network, so a digital antenna picks up the game for free wherever your local CBS affiliate airs it. In the UK, Channel 5 carries it live on Big Game Night, its free Sunday 9 p.m. slot, according to the NFL’s UK listings.
In Ireland, Canada, and Australia, the answer is no: you need a DAZN subscription.
And free channels are local by design. Open Channel 5’s NFL page from outside the UK and you get a “No access outside UK” screen. If you’re a British fan on holiday, our guide to watching 5 abroad covers it. If you’re an American overseas, read on.
Paramount+ has a catch that bites travelers. The live NFL on CBS feed follows your local CBS station, and the app works out your location from your connection. Open it in a hotel in Lisbon or Cancún and the game you pay for may not be there.
A VPN changes your virtual location. Connect to a server in the US, and Paramount+ sees a US connection, so you watch your own subscription like you would at home. You still pay for Paramount+ yourself; the VPN just gets you back to it.

Four ways in. They cover different places and cost very different amounts. Prices are from each service’s page on October 29, 2026.
Option | Where it works, price, what you get |
|---|---|
Paramount+ | Live NFL on CBS in the US, only when your local CBS station airs the game. From $8.99 a month. |
NFL Sunday Ticket | Every out-of-market Sunday afternoon game, on YouTube or YouTube TV. New users $240 a season (or 8 payments of $30), returning users $480. |
NFL Game Pass on DAZN | Over 200 countries, not the US or China. Every game live. UK £16.99 a week, Ireland €19.99 a week, Australia AUD 33.99 a week; included with DAZN in Canada. |
Free TV | CBS with an antenna in the US, Channel 5 in the UK. |
For one game in the US, the cheapest route is an antenna, then Paramount+. Sunday Ticket only makes sense if you follow a team from another market all season. Taking YouTube TV on a trip? Our YouTube TV VPN guide covers it.
Outside the US and China, Game Pass is the only way to see every game (DAZN notes some blackouts in the UK and Ireland). Season passes cost more (UK £69.99, Ultimate £89.99), but the weekly pass fits a single Sunday. The Regular pass streams on 2 devices in 1 location; Ultimate adds Multiview for up to four games at once and 5 devices in 2 locations.

In plain terms: 4:25 p.m. ET, 3:25 p.m. CT, 2:25 p.m. MT, 1:25 p.m. PT, and 9:25 p.m. in London. Fans in Sydney get it with breakfast on Monday at 8:25 a.m.
Daylight saving time ends in the US at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, the morning of the game. Europe already switched on October 25.
So on Saturday, London is four hours ahead of New York. On Sunday, it’s five. If you set a reminder for a friend overseas using Saturday’s gap, they’ll tune in an hour early.
Why does this one matter?
It’s a division game. Both teams play in the AFC West, and right now Kansas City is first and Denver second.
How did the first meeting go?
Kansas City won 31 to 10 on Monday, September 14, at Arrowhead. Across all 133 meetings, the Chiefs lead 74 wins to 59.
Who’s calling it on CBS?
Jim Nantz on play-by-play, J.J. Watt as analyst, and Tracy Wolfson on the sideline.
Who’s hot?
Denver has won three straight, most recently 30 to 16 in Arizona, and has won all three home games. The Chiefs took their first loss of the season in Week 7, 20 to 3 in Seattle.
Who should I watch?
Quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Bo Nix, plus Kansas City running back Kenneth Walker, who leads the league at 116.8 rushing yards per game, according to the Broncos. On the sidelines, Andy Reid faces Sean Payton.
Our take, and it’s only an opinion: Denver has scored 144 points to Kansas City’s 143 but allowed 141 to the Chiefs’ 103. Add Denver’s home record, and expect a close one.
Most problems have a simple cause. Work down this list.
Use a US server. Paramount+ builds its NFL on CBS feed around your US location, so connect to the US before you open the app.
Switch servers. If the game doesn’t load, try another US city, ideally one whose CBS station has the game.
Clear the cache. The app or browser can remember your real location. A private window or a fresh sign-in helps.
Bring your own subscription. A VPN changes where you appear to be; the Paramount+ plan is still yours to pay for.
Test it Saturday. Kickoff is 4:25 p.m. ET. Check the setup the day before, not at 4:20.

Denver is chasing a fourth straight win; Kansas City wants Seattle behind it. You’ll know by Sunday evening. If you’ll be outside the US, set up the VPN on Saturday and make sure Paramount+ signs in.
