Arrowhead Pride
Everything you need to know to watch Kansas City host Buffalo on Sunday evening.
The 2024 AFC Championship has arrived!
The top-seeded Kansas City Chiefs are hosting the second-seeded Buffalo Bills on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Arrowhead Time. The game will be carried on CBS — locally on KCTV/5 in Kansas City and WIVB/4 in Buffalo.
This matchup is for all of the AFC’s marbles, which the winner will pack into its suitcases before traveling to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on February 9, when it will face the winner of Sunday afternoon’s NFC Championship: the Philadelphia Eagles hosting the Washington Commanders.
Playing in their seventh consecutive AFC title game, the Chiefs are trying to reach the Super Bowl for the third straight season — and the fifth of the last six. In the Super Bowl era, just three other teams have appeared in three straight championship matchups: the 1971-73 Miami Dolphins, the 1990-93 Bills (a total of four straight) and the 2016-18 New England Patriots.
The Chiefs have now joined just three teams that have reached the conference championship game after back-to-back Super Bowl wins: the 1974-75 Pittsburgh Steelers, the 1988-89 San Francisco 49ers and the 1992-93 Dallas Cowboys. With a victory, Kansas City will be the only one of them to advance to the championship contest — where it could win an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl.
Standing in their way, the Bills have defeated Kansas City in four consecutive regular-season games — including their 30-21 home win in Week 11 — but have lost three straight to the Chiefs in the postseason. That includes last year’s Divisional round matchup in Buffalo, from which Kansas City emerged with a 27-24 victory.
