How to watch KC Chiefs-Pittsburgh Steelers in Christmas Day NFL game: time, TV, odds

The Chiefs — and three other teams — will conclude the most condensed scheduling period of the 2024 NFL season with a Christmas Day doubleheader.

The Chiefs visit the Pittsburgh Steelers at noon Central Time on Wednesday, Dec. 25. The second game that day, at 3:30 p.m. Central, features the Baltimore Ravens at the Houston Texans in a rematch of a 2023 AFC Divisional Round game.

Both games will be available globally on Netflix as the streaming giant broadcasts its first NFL games.

The Dec. 25 games mean the Chiefs, Steelers, Ravens and Texans will have played three games in 11 days. On Dec. 21, a Saturday, the Chiefs defeated the Texans 27-19, and the Steelers fell to the Ravens 34-17.

Where and when is the Chiefs vs. Steelers game?

The Chiefs-Steelers Christmas Day game will be played at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Kickoff on Christmas Day is noon (Central Time).

KC and Pittsburgh haven’t played since the 2021 AFC playoffs, when the Chiefs won a Wild Card Round game 42-21 in Kansas City. Their last game in Pittsburgh was in 2018, and it was a treat for Chiefs fans.

In his third NFL start, Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes threw six touchdown passes and posted a 154.8 passer rating, both career bests, in a 42-37 Chiefs victory.

What’s the channel (and radio info) for the Chiefs’ Christmas game?

The Chiefs-Steelers game will be broadcast on Netflix. In Kansas City it also will be available on KCTV (Channel 5). The broadcast team includes Ian Eagle, Nate Burleson and J.J. Watt.

The game will also be broadcast on radio via KFNZ (96.5 FM) and WDAF (106.5 FM) in the KC area, and KNSS (98.7 FM) in the Wichita area.

What is the betting line for Chiefs-Steelers?

The Chiefs have opened as a 2 1/2-point favorite with the over/under set at 43 1/2. Last week, the Chiefs covered as a 3 1/2-point favorite in a 27-19 victory over the Houston Texans. That improved their season record against the spread to 6-8 with one push.
