What time do the Chiefs play on Christmas Day today? What channel is the Chiefs game on Christmas Day?

The 14-1 Chiefs are up against a team from the AFC North, looking to break the tie against their division rivals, the Ravens!

The AFC top-seed Kansas City Chiefs are back to begin week 17 on Christmas Day 2024. The 14-1 Chiefs are up against the division leaders from the AFC North, a team looking to break the tie against their division rivals, the Baltimore Ravens.

The Chiefs have already clinched their division and have the best win-loss record through week 16 in the 2024 NFL season. But this game has more at stake for both the teams in action than just a win.

So, who do the Kansas City Chiefs play today and what time is the Chiefs game going to start? Time to find out!

Who do the Kansas City Chiefs play today?

The Kansas City Chiefs (14-1) will play the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-5) today in the first of two NFL games on Christmas 2024. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will have their AFC top-seed destiny in their own hands today. Andy Reid’s boys can clinch the AFC top-seed spot with a win or a tie against the Steelers today.

Even if they lose today’s game, they can still clinch the AFC top seed if the Buffalo Bills lose or tie against the New York Giants. Kansas City would be aware that the chances of that happening are slim, given the fact that Josh Allen is leaving destruction in his wake by dismantling defenses week after week.

A win here for the Steelers would edge them close to clinching the AFC North. They would also hope for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens to lose against the Texans in the second game of the NFL Christmas games today!

Chiefs DT Chris Jones is unlikely to play today vs. Pittsburgh due to his calf injury, per league sources.

The Chiefs will be without DT Chris Jones who got injured (calf injury) in the last game against the Texans last week. Though the Steelers lead the overall head-to-head by 23-14-0, the last 3 games between the two sides have been won by the Chiefs.

Patrick Mahomes, in the 2 career meetings vs. the Steelers, has combined 584 passing yards and 9 touchdowns without getting picked. The Chiefs have won both the games. The Chiefs would be relying on a healthy Kareem Hunt and Xavier Worthy to do the yards and get the offense going.

What time is the Chiefs game going to start?

The Chiefs vs. Steelers game today will begin at 1 p.m. ET on Wednesday, 25th December, 2024 at the Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Where can I watch the Chiefs game today?

The Chiefs game today will be streamed live on Netflix from the Acrisure Stadium. This will be a home game for the Steelers. With their 5-1 record at home through week 16, Russell Wilson and co. would fancy their chances to win this one!
