Chiefs-49ers game Sunday will feature an NFL broadcast first in 2024 season
Through their first five games of the season, the Chiefs have played before a national television audience three times.
The Chiefs’ fourth national game will be Sunday and it’s a rare bird. The Chiefs take on the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium and kickoff is scheduled for 3:25 p.m. Typically, Fox and/or CBS have two or more late-afternoon games, but that won’t be the case with the Chiefs-49ers Super Bowl LVIII rematch.
Fox’s broadcast will go to the entire country. That’s the first time there has been a Sunday afternoon national broadcast this season. The last time it happened was in Week 15 of the 2023 season with the Cowboys-Bills game on Fox.
There’s no TV map to show, because if you’re reading this in the United States, you’ll be able to see the game on Fox this Sunday. Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady will be on the call.
It’s the first time Brady, the former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback, will work a Chiefs game as a broadcaster. It’s also his first game since becoming part owner of the Raiders.
Fans in Kansas City also will see the Lions-Vikings game (on Fox 4) and the Texans-Packers (on KCTV-5). Both will begin at noon.
