Is the Chiefs vs Dolphins playoff game only on Peacock? Wildcard round streaming details explored

The Kansas City Chiefs versus Miami Dolphins wildcard round game will be broadcast exclusively on the Peacock streaming service. The late game will make NFL history, as it will be the first playoff game that will only be available digitally.

The league is set to continue experimenting with live-streaming important games, and the Kansas City Chiefs versus Miami Dolphins game is the latest in the long list of streaming-only fixtures. It is worth noting that Peacock also streamed an exclusive regular season game in 2023 as the movement from linear to digital continues to gather steam.

Peacock paid $110 million just for Saturday's playoff game, although it was the slot they had reserved and not the specific game. The streaming giants will feel that they've struck gold as the Kansas City versus Miami game has numerous storylines worth observing.

How to watch the Kansas City Chiefs vs Miami Dolphins

The Kansas City Chiefs will welcome the Miami Dolphins to the Arrowhead Stadium for a potentially exhilarating wildcard round matchup. Both teams had impressive regular seasons, and they'll be looking to punch a ticket to the divisional round with a win on Saturday.

The game will have some added significance for All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill, as he will return to Arrowhead Stadium for the first time since his 2022 departure. Hill is arguably the best wideout in the league, and he'll certainly be a player to look out for in the 2023-24 playoffs. Kansas City could contain him when the two sides faced off in Germany. However, a motivated Tyreek Hill in Arrowhead Stadium is a tough opponent, and Chiefs' fans can attest to that.

Prices to watch the Chiefs-Dolphins playoff game:

• Streaming on Peacock: $5.99
• Free on KSHB 41 channel for those in Kansas and WTVJ 6 for those in South Florida.

If the Miami Dolphins want to win, they must limit turnovers and utilize the run game. Tua Tagovailoa is notoriously unimpressive in cold weather conditions, so it might be a bright idea to handoff the ball to star running backs Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane.

As for Kansas City, they head into the game as strong favorites against a depleted Miami Dolphins defense. Patrick Mahomes and Co. are on the quest for back-to-back Super Bowl trophies, and it all starts on Wildcard Saturday at Arrowhead.
