Colts vs. Chiefs: How to Watch and Stream Sunday Night Football on NBC

The Kansas City Chiefs host the Indianapolis Colts in a prime-time Sunday Night Football clash at Arrowhead Stadium on September 20, 2026, with live television coverage on NBC and streaming options available across multiple platforms.

Prime-Time Showdown at Arrowhead Stadium

The Indianapolis Colts travel to face the Kansas City Chiefs for a Sunday Night Football matchup in Week 2. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday, September 20, 2026, at Arrowhead Stadium. The contest marks the final game of the Week 2 Sunday slate, arriving just six days after the Chiefs hosted a Monday night victory over the Denver Broncos.

Running back Kenneth Walker ran wild against the Denver Broncos on the first Monday Night Football game of the year. In Week 2, he and the Chiefs prepare to host a second consecutive prime-time game – this time, on Sunday Night Football against the Indianapolis Colts. Indianapolis is seeking its first win of the season after falling to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1.

The Sept. 20 clash will mark a second meeting between the two AFC teams in as many seasons. Last year, the Chiefs beat the Colts 23-20 in overtime in a Week 12 game at Arrowhead Stadium.

TV Channels and Live Streaming Options

Viewers can watch the game nationally on broadcast television via NBC and NBC Universo. Cord-cutters have several live streaming alternatives to catch the action without a traditional cable subscription.

Offensive Struggles and Defensive Pressure Points

The Kansas City Chiefs remain at Arrowhead Stadium for another primetime matchup Sunday as they welcome Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts. Indianapolis struggled to generate explosive plays against Baltimore in Week 1, particularly when backed up in its own territory. The Colts averaged just 3.1 yards per play on six possessions that began at or inside their own 20-yard line, while Daniel Jones completed only two of five play-action attempts for 15 yards. Getting Jonathan Taylor and the play-action game going could help change that against Kansas City.

The matchup also puts plenty of pressure on Indianapolis’ defense, where DeForest Buckner and Laiatu Latu will be counted on to affect Patrick Mahomes. The Colts generated pressure on half of their blitzes against Lamar Jackson but were repeatedly punished when they failed to finish those plays, making their approach against another elite quarterback one of the biggest storylines Sunday night.

Betting Odds and Season Implications

Odds courtesy of BetMGM Sportsbook as of Thursday, Sept. 17 list the Chiefs as 6.5-point favorites, with an over/under set at 46.5 points and a moneyline of Chiefs (-295) versus Colts (+240).

Chiefs 31, Colts 17: “Kansas City’s late surge against Indianapolis last season marked the beginning of the end for the Colts, who unraveled by losing their next six games. Sunday’s prime-time affair might similarly prove to be an inflection point for Shane Steichen and Co. this season.” – Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz
