Chiefs vs. Bengals Livestream: How to Watch NFL Week 13 Online Today

The Bengals and Chiefs met in last season’s AFC Championship game, which the Bengals won to advance to the Super Bowl. On Sunday, Kansas City will look for revenge in Cincinnati in a Week 13 regular season matchup. Kick off is set for 4:25 p.m.

ET (3:25 p.m. CT, 1:25 p.m. PT) on CBS.

The game will be shown on TV across much of the country including in the Kansas City and Cincinnati areas (according to 506 Sports) on live TV streaming services, but there may be cases where you’re blocked because of an internet location glitch or just want an added layer of privacy for streaming.

There’s an option that won’t require you to subscribe to something like NFL Sunday Ticket or NFL Plus, or searching the internet for a sketchy website: a virtual private network, or VPN. Here’s how you can watch the game from anywhere in the US with a VPN.  Read more: NFL 2022: How to Watch, Livestream Every Game Live Without Cable

How to watch the Chiefs vs. Bengals game online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally due to incorrectly applied blackout restrictions, you may need a different way to watch the game and that’s where using a VPN can come in handy.

A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, plus it’s a great idea for when you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area.

Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this. Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US and Canada, as long as you’ve got a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

How we test VPN streaming for Sunday NFL games

For every game we use a combination of ExpressVPN and either Paramount Plus (for CBS games) or Sling TV Blue (for Fox games).

Using the maps on 506 Sports, we determine which servers are nearby and connect to one, then launch the streaming service and tune to the local CBS or Fox affiliate.

If the channel comes through, it’s successful and we report the results above.

We also screenshot the relevant program guide listing (see above) on either the local CBS affiliate’s website or Sling TV.
