When to watch the Chiefs vs. Raiders?
Sunday, Oct. 27 at 4:25 p.m. ET (1:25 p.m. PT).Where to watch?
The Chiefs-Raiders game will air on CBS.The offense may not be pretty, but there's still no stopping Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. At 6-0, Kansas City remains the NFL's sole unbeaten team after winning the Super Bowl rematch with the 49ers on Sunday in Santa Clara. This Sunday, the two-time defending champs head to Las Vegas to take on the rival Raiders.
Vegas enters the Week 8 contest having dropped last Sunday's game to the Rams 20-15. Quarterback Aidan O'Connell got hurt early in the game and was replaced by original season starter Gardner Minshew. O'Connell has since been placed on injured reserve, and with a strong Chiefs defense, Kansas City enters this weekend's tilt as a 10-point favorite.
Kickoff for Sunday's contest is called for 4:25 p.m. ET (1:25 p.m. PT) on CBS. Here's how you can watch or stream it live, even if the game isn't available on your local CBS channel.
The game will be shown on TV in the Las Vegas and Kansas City areas (according to 506 Sports) and on live TV streaming services, but there may be cases where you're blocked because of an internet location glitch. There is an option that doesn't require subscribing to something like NFL Sunday Ticket or NFL Plus or searching the internet for a sketchy website: You can use a virtual private network.

How to watch the Chiefs vs. Raiders game online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the game locally due to incorrectly applied blackout restrictions, you may need a different way to watch the game and that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, plus it's a great idea for when you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US and Canada, as long as you've got a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

This week's Chiefs-Raiders game is on CBS, so in addition to a VPN, you'll need a live TV streaming service that carries a local CBS affiliate that's broadcasting the game.

Numerous other live TV streaming services carry local CBS stations as well, namely YouTube TV, Hulu Plus Live TV, DirecTV Stream and Fubo. They all cost far more than Paramount Plus, but they also carry many live channels, including football broadcasting channels like Fox and ESPN. Check out our live TV streaming services guide for details.
If you live in an area where the game is being broadcast, an over-the-air antenna connected to your TV provides another option for CBS. The best part about antennas is that there are no streaming or monthly fees required, though you will need to make sure you have good reception.
