Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers: How to watch, kickoff time and more

The top two teams in the AFC West will face off on Sunday afternoon when the Kansas City Chiefs visit the Los Angeles Chargers. The undefeated Chiefs, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, face the 2-1 Chargers at Sofi Stadium, with QB Justin Herbert expected to start for the home team. The Chargers could also lose a key player on Sunday; Safety Derwin James Jr. was suspended one game without pay. A letter from the NFL to James said the suspension was imposed after James “lowered his head and made forcible contact with Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth” during last Sunday's game between the Chargers and Pittsburgh Steelers. The statement said: “Significant penalties are warranted when players repeatedly violate the rules protecting player safety, particularly when the violations involve a significant risk of injury to an opposing player.” James is expected to appeal the ruling inserted.

The game will air on CBS and Paramount+ at 4:45 p.m. Here's all the information you need about tonight's Kansas City vs. Los Angeles game. You can also keep an eye on matchday updates here.

Here's how to watch every NFL game this season:

Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels. So if you want to watch a game that is on the market, all you have to do is turn on your TV (or set up a digital TV antenna). An NFL+ subscription for $7/month gives you access to the NFL Network, which is great for watching some games, but the downside to NFL+ is that there are only local and primetime games in the regular season (and only on mobile or tablet!). In that case, here's what we recommend to watch the NFL.
