The NFL playoffs start this coming weekend and there’s one thing fans of all teams can agree on—it stinks that the NFL and NBC will be airing an AFC playoff game exclusively on Peacock.
That’s right, if you want to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play the Miami Dolphins, you’ll have to subscribe to Peacock to see the game.
The NFL has been getting into the streaming business the past few years, but this is the first time fans will have to pay extra to see a playoff game. And there’s a reason for that—money.
Here’s how much NBC is paying for this game:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ari Meirov @MySportsUpdate · Follow Peacock is paying in the range of $110M to exclusively carry a playoff game. The game they are getting is a Chiefs / Patrick Mahomes game.
FWIW: My comment section is not happy. Ari Meirov @MySportsUpdate FULL WILD CARD SCHEDULE:
Saturday: Browns-Texans: 4:30 ET on NBC PIT/MIA or BUF/KC: 8:15 ET on Peacock

You know it! Suckers gotta get their fix of Tay-Tay.
No cable channel for free even broadcasts it overnight in my area. Subscribe to Peacock or pay to get it lager on nfl.
My car gets 308 but hubby’s does not. He listens to Deep Tracks more often than I do, so he’s bummed, but we can still listen on the app.
I listen to most of the channels you do, but I’m not familiar with Outlaw Country. Which station number is that?
My go to is Tom Petty on 31. I love his Buried Treasure show. Always so many goodies played. Hard to believe he’s gone when you can hear his voice every day.
I won’t have to listen to that gawd awful fight song for the Chiefs. It hurts my ears.
I know right, bad enough with FSU.
Worst fight song in the country!
It is new for all fans not to have access to a playoff game.
Peacock's only way to stand out in the streaming market is exclusive sporting and WWE events. It's scripted program doesn't compare to best streaming services.
😆🤣😜
Post your Peacock password here. Then, all of Freeper can watch the game for free
Right on.
I ain’t a commie. We’re supposed to be capitalist, everybody has to decide how they want to spend their money, and if that means there’s some stuff they don’t get access to that’s their choice. People complaining they can’t watch the game because they don’t want to spend $4 are like people complaining the apartment they moved into doesn’t have a pool. You chose how to spend your money, and now they get to live with that choice.
Interesting thoughts ... 🤔
Yes, indeed...Chiefs vs Dolphins game should be on the NFL Network later on...
Amazon Prime sometimes shows Thursday NFL games...I watched one of those games on NFL Network...Several hours after the game...
It is possible that some of her fans may decide to pay for Peacock to see the game...
I do have to state that TV coverage of Taylor Swift, during games, has decreased over time...It is not the same as the beginning...
The concept of Taylor showing up to support Travis is not a "big" news any longer...
Not really. That’s how things work.
You can add Brittany Mahomes
🔝🔝
I remember when people were demanding Ala cart cable. Now they whine when they get it.
I’m pretty sure the replay of the game will be on the NFL Network just afterwards.
Unfortunately they will scroll the final score as you watch it. Not smart people.
They did this with the Prime Thursday night games.
I think Peacock comes with my cable account. I never watch it. Tried the new Fresh Prince, yuck.
