NFL Playoff game to be streamed!
 

I am watching the Bills/Dolphins game and they announced that next Saturday, an NFL playoff game will not be on network television but instead will be streamed.

If you want to watch it you will have to subscribe to Peacock.

I think this is the first time that a playoff game will not be on network television.

If streaming NFL postseason games catches on, I can see the Super Bowl being streamed in a few years.

Chiefs raiders game was streamed on Utube for fee. Waive of the future for sale to highest bidder.

That stinks!

Chiefs’ game to be streamed
 

This is the streamed game.

Miami Dolphins against Kansas City Chiefs
Saturday, 8:15 p.m. ET on Peacock

For these streamed games, the local markets for each team still will offer the games on NBC. So as long as you can find a way to access NBC Miami, you can still watch the game. Most people using IPTV systems will be able to get that channel.

Will pay for streaming IF NO ads. Otherwise I’ll find another way.

EDIT: Channel guides for Miami do not have this game listed but earlier articles about the Peacock deal indicate that the above is correct. Maybe the channel guides will be updated now that the teams are known.

Miami will play at Kansas City at 8 p.m. Saturday on Peacock, NBC’s streaming service. The game also will air on NBC-6 in Miami-Fort Lauderdale.

If that is true, it is good news! Should be a good game! Hope it is available for free.

But the NFL has a policy that games on streaming services or cable channels also be televised on a “free TV” station in the home markets. That’s why NBC-6 can carry the Dolphins-Chiefs game in Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe counties on Saturday.

Does anyone know how to get NBC 6 if you don’t live in the viewing area??

It seems that Peacock paid a lot of money for the right to stream so I would expect that NBC will make it difficult to get around the paywall.

This may be a blessing for Dolphin fans. I would expect a blowout by KC playing at home with freezing temps.

KC had rested key players and Miami has so many injuries. Miami typically plays poorly in nasty weather.

I’d be shocked if it’s even a close game. Prediction. KC 45 Miami 10.

That may be true. However, there are a lot of KC fans that would would probably want to watch the game without subscribing to peacock.

Will be interesting if any of the bars in TV that currently have NFL Sunday ticket like City Fire or Gators will subscribe to Peacock to get this game.

You can subscribe to an IPTV service to get local channels for almost every US market if you have Roku or a Firestick for a fee. Some of these services do offer a 24 hour free trial even.

NBC 6 South Florida – NBC 6 South Florida | NBC 6 South Florida – Local News, Weather, Traffic, Entertainment, Events, Breaking News has a 'LIVE' button. This MAY give you the game if it doesn't check you IP address and see you are outside of its area. If you get the game and you have a Smart TV, you can project your PC laptop to your TV.

1. Ensure that the TV and laptop are both Wi-Fi enabled.
2. Navigate to Settings > System > Display on your laptop.
