The Houston Texans head to Kansas City for an AFC South vs. West showdown. We've compiled everything you need to know about how to watch the Texans vs. Chiefs.
The Kansas City Chiefs continue their quest for a third consecutive Super Bowl win in tonight's Division Round AFC Playoff match-up against the Houston Texans. The two teams last squared off less than a month ago in a Kansas City home game that saw the Chiefs win 27-19. The team has been the undeniable champion of the AFC with a 15-2 record, tied only in the league with the NFC's Detroit Lions, who saw similar success this season.
The Texans have had a rockier go out of it with a 10-7 record, but they were able to smash past the Los Angeles Chargers in the Wild Card Round with a 31-12 win. They've never made it past the Divisional Round in the Playoffs, so a win tonight would be a history-making victory for the franchise.
Whether you're rooting for Houston or Kansas City, we've got you covered when it comes to live streaming tonight's game. Don't forget to bookmark our how to watch NFL games streaming guide for info on watching other upcoming postseason games.

Fans traveling away from home can still use their usual streaming services with the help of a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs are easy-to-use cybersecurity tools that allow people to change their electronic device's virtual locations. This way, all of their go-to websites and apps work just like they would back home. The services we've recommended require country-specific methods of payment, so this option will work best for those who are just traveling abroad at the moment.
If you don't already have a VPN, we recommend giving ExpressVPN a go. It's a beginner-friendly option with a hassle-free 30-day money-back guarantee. You can read more in our ExpressVPN review and see below to learn how to use a VPN.
How to watch Texans vs. Chiefs with a VPN

Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
