After losing two Super Bowls to the Kansas City Chiefs, the San Francisco 49ers will be determined to win. As it stands, Kyle Shanahan's 49ers are 0-4 against Kansas while Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is 4-0 against the 49ers.
Both teams have eyes on making another Super Bowl run but have started their seasons in different styles.
The Chiefs have cruised to a perfect 5-0 record. They are juggernauts with a tough defense, an excellent kicking game, and the best quarterback in the NFL.
The 49ers are 3-3. Injuries and inconsistency have blighted their campaign. However, San Francisco enjoyed a brilliant 36-24 win last Thursday night in Seattle. The Niners often improve as the season progresses.
So read on for how to watch 49ers vs Chiefs, along with all of this season's football, with our 2024/25 NFL live streams guide.
