Quick Guide: How to Watch Chiefs vs. Vikings for Free Online
  • The Kansas City Chiefs travel to Minneapolis to take on the Vikings on Sunday, October 8.
  • Chiefs vs. Vikings is set to kick off at 4:25 PM (EST).
  • The Chiefs looked wobbly against the Jets last week and now face Kirk Cousins and a Minnesota Vikings team that is looking to turn their fortune around. We could also be treated to another Taylor Swift and celebrity-heavy attendance this Sunday.

Football fans can watch the Chiefs vs. Vikings for free on Australia’s 7plus. The only problem is geo-blocks, which means you’ll need an Aussie IP address to access the site. If you don’t have another stream lined up, you’re going to miss out on watching Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce in action on Sunday.

Luckily, you can use a VPN to change your IP address to one from Australia and watch the Chiefs vs. Vikings for free online. Here’s how:

  1. Subscribe to NordVPN.
  2. Connect to a server in Australia.
  3. Go to 7plus, set up a free account, and stream the Chiefs vs. Vikings game on 7mate for free on Sunday!

Read our detailed guide below for more information. We’ll also show you how to stream the game online in the United States.

The Chiefs did just enough to thwart the Jets’ comeback last weekend — even with the possible distraction of Taylor Swift’s attendance at Metlife Stadium.

Patrick Mahomes had an uncharacteristically poor game where he completed just 18 out of 30 passes and threw two interceptions. Travis Kelce held his own with six catches for 60 yards, but it was the lesser-known Chiefs’ tight end Noah Gray that overshadowed Kelce and found the endzone.

Their opponents, the Vikings, finally grabbed their first win of the season against a withered Carolina Panthers, though it could energize the home crowd for Sunday’s big game.

Of course, adding to the exciting match is the big question: Will Taylor Swift be in Minneapolis for her third straight Chiefs game? We’ll only know for sure on Sunday.

Luckily, diehard fans and newcomers alike can watch the Chiefs vs. Vikings for free online. You’ll just need a VPN that can connect to a live stream from Australia’s 7plus player. We’ll show you how below.

How to Watch the Chiefs Game for Free Online

The best way to watch the Chiefs vs. Vikings for free online is on Australia’s 7plus streaming platform. 7plus will offer two NFL regular season games every week this year, and is also set to stream the NFL Playoffs for free.

There is one hiccup: geo-restrictions. 7plus restricts its content to Australia, so, you’ll need to get an Aussie IP address if you want to access the site from outside the country.

Luckily, doing so is very easy with a VPN like NordVPN. We recommend NordVPN primarily because it is able to bypass the VPN-flagging that a lot of Australian streaming sites deploy.

Not sure how to get set up? Just follow the guide below to get you ready for the Chiefs football action.
