Bengals vs Chiefs live stream: How to watch AFC Championship game online

Update: We are going to overtime!

The Bengals vs Chiefs live stream is here, and it puts these clubs on the field for the AFC Championship game in Kansas City. Joe Burrow and the Bengals will now try to out-duel Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in this NFL live stream. 

The Bengals (10-7) are in the midst of a historical franchise run. They earned their first playoff win in 31 years when they beat the Raiders 26-19 in the Wild Card round and then went on to beat the top-seeded Titans last week 19-16. One of the best feelings among Bengal fans is that this should only be the beginning of what this young core can accomplish. Quarterback Joe Burrow and his key weapons are all 25-years-old or younger. 

The Chiefs (12-5) are back where many doubted they would be after their rough start to the season. Patrick Mahomes and company shook off a 3-4 start and are now hosting their fourth-straight AFC Championship game at Arrowhead. The streak breaks head coach Andy Reids’ own record of coaching in three-straight conference championships at home, which he originally set when as the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles to in the early 2000’s.   

Cincinnati won the regular season match-up against the Chiefs with a 34-31 win in week 17.  Chase was the star of that show, catching 11 passes for 266 yards and three touchdowns, helping Burrow rack up 446 yards in the win.

So, who makes it to Super Bowl 2022? Right now the Chiefs are favored by 7 points and the over-under is 54.5.

Bengals vs Chiefs live streams in the US

In the U.S., the Bengals vs Chiefs live stream is going to be broadcast on CBS, which is available with most cable packages and on one of our favorite streaming services: fuboTV. It's one of the top options for cord-cutters for Super Bowl 2022.

The game starts at 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT today Sunday (Jan. 30)

You can get your local CBS network's NFL games via Paramount Plus, if you want.

The NFL game broadcast rights have stayed similar season over season. CBS gets AFC games on Sunday afternoons, FOX has the NFC games, NBC has Sunday Night Football and some Thursday night football, while ESPN has Monday Night Football. Amazon Prime Video has some Thursday Night Football games, while the NFL Network will continue to offer a bunch of games throughout the year. 

So, that makes it really easy to recommend where cord-cutters should turn to watch the NFL season: Fubo TV. Built for all things sports, Fubo has all three of those local broadcasters, plus ESPN and NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.

Sling TV doesn't have CBS (not without AirTV at least), so while that's one of our favorite services, it's not ideal for football fans.

Fubo.TV: One of the best streaming services with FOX, and the top pick for watching all of the 2021 NFL live streams, Fubo has all of the right network channels and the two cable channels you don't want to go without. Who needs cable? Not Fubo subscribers. It's got a 7-day free trial so you don't need to pay up front.
