How to watch the NFL: Browns vs. Steelers playoff online in the U.S.

Peacock is NBC’s new streaming service offering both free and premium subscription plans. Launched nationwide last July, Peacock is home to a variety of classic shows like The Office and 30 Rock as well as new exclusive content like the Saved by the Bell reboot and Psych 2. And since NBC holds NFL broadcasting rights, it’s also a great place to watch football games like the Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers playoff round tonight (and you can do it for free, with no credit card required).

This NFL Wild Card Round is an interesting one. For starters, the Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers rivalry is the oldest one in the American Football Conference, dating back to 1950, with more than 135 meetings between the two teams. This is also a big moment for Cleveland fans considering that the Browns have not made the playoffs since 2003 — a 17 year-long playoff drought that finally ended in the 2020 season.

Cleveland made it into the playoffs by narrowly defeating the Steelers in their previous meeting last Sunday, January 3. The Browns started off strong with the Steelers rallying in the second half, but it wasn’t enough of a comeback for Pittsburgh to prevent Cleveland from taking the game 24-22 and securing their seed in the playoffs for the first time in 17 years. Cleveland fans are no doubt excited to see their team’s playoff drought finally ended, but whether or not they can clinch another victory over their decades-old rival tonight remains to be seen.

There are three Peacock membership tiers available — a free plan, a $5 per month Premium plan with ads, and a $10 per month Premium Plus plan without ads — and you can watch the Browns vs. Steelers playoff game tonight by signing up for a free Peacock plan now. No credit card is required to sign up for the free subscription tier, and this plan also lets you enjoy other content including the first two seasons of The Office and more. The Premium plans give you full access to the entire Peacock library of shows and movies.

How to watch the free Chiefs vs. Ravens live stream (legally)
Mark Andrews of the Ravens puts his hands up on the football field.

It's Conference Championship Sunday in the 2024 NFL Playoffs. The first game will feature Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs traveling to M&T Bank Stadium to face Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship.

The Chiefs are playing in their sixth straight AFC Championship Game. The only team with more consecutive AFC title game appearances is the New England Patriots, with eight from 2011 to 2018. If Mahomes wins this game and then the Super Bowl, he will have a legitimate claim to be the second-greatest quarterback in NFL history. Meanwhile, Baltimore is making their first AFC Championship appearance since Jackson became the starter in 2018.

Is there a free Lions vs. 49ers live stream? How to watch the game
George Kittle of the San Francsico 49ers points his fingers up.

Sunday marks one of the best football days of the year. Two conference champions will be crowned in the 2024 NFL Playoffs. The NFC Championship features Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers hosting Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions. Kickoff starts at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT on January 28. The game will air on Fox and feature the network's top broadcast team – Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play), Greg Olsen (color), Erin Andrews (sideline), and Tom Rinaldi (sideline).

The Lions have a chance to make history. If they defeat the 49ers, Detroit will appear in their first Super Bowl in franchise history. The Lions won multiple NFL Championship Games in the 1950s before the creation of the Super Bowl. On the other sidelines, it's business as usual for the 49ers as they attempt to win the NFC Championship for the second time in five seasons.

Dallas Mavericks vs. Atlanta Hawks live stream: How to watch the NBA online
Luka Doncic walks down the court for the Mavericks.

Friday night will feature an exciting NBA game between two of the best young talents in the league. Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks head to State Farm Arena to face Dejounte Murray and the Atlanta Hawks. The game tips off on NBA TV at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on January 26.

Dallas and Atlanta are two teams heading in different directions. Dallas is currently a play-in team in the Western Conference. Although the Doncic and Kyrie Irving pairing has worked this year, Dallas needs to trade for another wing who can hit an outside shot and guard multiple positions. Meanwhile, Atlanta is below 500 and going nowhere fast. With the trade deadline a few weeks away, do not be surprised if Murray moves to a different team in February.
