Has NFL moved the Dolphins-Chiefs game? Latest on AFC Wild Card showdown amid -5° weather in Kansas City

For tonight's Miami Dolphins vs Kansas City Chiefs playoff game, it's expected to feel like 20 degrees below zero at Geha Field in Arrowhead Stadium.

Although the game's anticipated weather isn't ideal for players on the field, the league also has an obligation to consider the needs of fans. However, according to Andy Slater with Fox Sports, the league will not make a scheduling adjustment for the game despite the perilous weather.

The NFL has previously shifted games to different stadiums due to inclement weather, but Kansas City will host this game.

NFL fans now have additional grounds for grievance against the league due to the decisions taken by higher-ups regarding the Chiefs vs Dolphins game. The league granting Peacock, a digital streaming company, the exclusive rights to broadcast the game outside of Miami and Kansas City was already causing an issue among fans.

Dolphins-Chiefs game time weather: How cold will it be during kickoff?

When the Chiefs and Dolphins kick off tonight at 8 p.m. at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium, the temperature is predicted to be below zero with a -23 wind chill.

It will only get worse from there, possibly becoming one of the coldest NFL playoff games in history due to wind gusts that might exceed 30 miles per hour with a -30 wind chill.

The National Weather Service is warning fans heading to the game to take measures. "Cover all extremities including your head and face," says the advice from the NWS.

For the Dolphins, a South Florida group that has never played in temperatures below 10, this predicted inclement weather will be devastating news. They will need to figure out how to play in even harsher circumstances.

Furthermore, the Dolphins have a 10-game losing streak while playing in temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. That would appear fairly tropical in comparison to the conditions they will face at Geha Field tonight.

Except for viewers in one of the local television markets — Miami or Kansas City—the Saturday night game between the Chiefs and the Dolphins can only be seen on Peacock. Peacock subscription plans are available for everyone else in the United States for $5.99 a month.
