Chiefs vs Steelers live stream — How to watch NFL online and on TV from anywhere on Christmas Day

The Kansas City Chiefs visit the playoff-chasing Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day. This match-up pits Hall of Fame coaches Andy Reid and Mike Tomlin against one another – and you can watch Chiefs vs Steelers live stream online from anywhere with a VPN.

Both teams head into this match-up right at the top of the AFC.

The Steelers, with veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, have returned to championship contender status. Pair that with a fierce defense and Mike Tomlin’s legendary leadership, and it feels like the ingredients are there for a shot at their seventh Super Bowl.

The Steelers have only lost at home once this season, but this is arguably their toughest test yet. The game also comes at the end of a fierce festive schedule; this will be Pittsburgh’s third game in 11 days.

The Chiefs are still rolling towards the conference top seed but are managing an injury concern around star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes has a high ankle sprain but can play on and operate the offense.

The Chiefs are formidable visitors. They have only lost one away game this season and won playoff games at Buffalo and Baltimore last season. This is Kansas City’s third game in eleven days, just like Pittsburgh, but they will not waver. They are reigning champions for a reason.

With both teams having plenty to play for in this game, read on for how to watch Chiefs vs Steelers on Christmas Day, along with all of this season’s football with our 2024/25 NFL live streams guide.
