The NFL Is Making You Get NBC's Peacock to See the Saturday Playoff Game
- NBC will stream Saturday’s Chiefs-Dolphins game only online
- ‘We want to be where our fans are,’ NFL’s head of media says
NBCUniversal is testing the strength of its Peacock streaming service by airing an NFL playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins exclusively on the platform — and drawing heat from fans who won’t be able to see it.
The AFC wildcard game between the defending Super Bowl champions and the Dolphins is set for Jan. 13 at 8 p.m. New York time. Fans in Kansas City and Miami will be able to watch on TV. But if you live outside those areas, a Peacock subscription starts at $6 a month.
