Why You Can Trust CNET How to Watch Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce at Kansas City Chiefs vs. New York Jets Tonight
For millions of Swifties, the NFL Sunday Night Football game on Peacock and NBC will be more about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce than about football.
The biggest game in a typical NFL week often involves the Kansas City Chiefs and often takes place on Sunday night, but this Sunday's week 4 matchup between the Chiefs and the New York Jets comes with next-level hype that rivals the Super Bowl. You can blame Taylor Swift. The mega-star will be at Met Life Stadium tonight to cheer on the Chiefs and tight end Travis Kelce, bringing legions of Swift fans who couldn't care less about football together with legions of NFL fans who couldn't care less about Tay's love life.
Taylor Swift, seen here at last week's Chiefs game in Kansas City, will also attend tonight's game against the Jets.
NBC's cameras will spend plenty of time focused on Swift's reactions during the game, and given how badly the Jets' are playing, she should have numerous opportunities to cheer. The green team from New York has had trouble keeping opposing offenses off the field with quarterback Zach Wilson struggling mightily. Meanwhile the Chiefs are coming off back-to-back wins and enter the game as overwhelming favorites behind stars like Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.
Kickoff for the Taylor Swift (er, Chiefs-Jets) game on Sunday Night Football is set for 8:20 p.m. ET (5:20 p.m. PT) tonight with the game streaming nationally on Peacock and also available on your local NBC station.
