Chiefs vs Chargers live stream: How to watch NFL game online and on TV from anywhere, odds and inactives

Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce (87) smiles to the crowd ahead of the Chiefs vs Chargers live stream.

Today's Chiefs vs Chargers live stream may feel like the Travis Kelce show. KC's tight end has made a paltry eight catches, 69 yards and zero touchdowns, and in the week he made his acting debut in "Grotesquerie", it's fitting he's in action in L.A. — you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!

Aside from the speedster Rashee Rice, the Chiefs' receiving corps really hasn't been up to much, which makes their 3-0 record all the more remarkable. Each of their victories has been tight, but thanks to the intelligence of Patrick Mahomes and a defense that contributed two sacks, an interception and two vital four-quarter stops in the 22-17 victory over the Falcons, they keep doing just enough.

That may change at a So-Fi Stadium that's likely to be packed with Taylor Swift fans today. Justin Herbert limped out of the clash with the Steelers last weekend with the scores level in the third, having aggravated the ankle injury that kept him out of preseason. The Bolts, inevitably, fell apart, and there's no guarantee Herbert will make it back in time for this all-AFC West encounter.

Right now DraftKings has the Chiefs as massive 7-point favorites at on the road. We have all the information on how to watch Chiefs vs Chargers below, and all of this season's football with our 2024/25 NFL live streams guide.

How to watch Chiefs vs Chargers from anywhere

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the game on your usual subscription? You can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN makes it appear like you're surfing the web from your home, allowing you to access the streaming services you already pay for. It's legal and easy to do.

We've tested many different VPN services and our favorite is NordVPN; it offers superb speeds, excellent customer service and a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out first to see if it's right for you. But you've got other VPN options too, so check out our full list of the best VPN services.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view your usual U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list. 

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Sling or Fubo and watch the Chiefs vs Chargers live stream.
