A potential nightmare scenario could play out tonight across the globe as NFL fans settle in to watch the Buffalo Bills take on the Los Angeles Chargers. Picture this: You have invited friends and family over to watch the game as part of a holiday gathering, and just before kickoff, that feeling of dread sits in.

You cannot find the game on television.

We here at SB Nation are here to help you avoid that scenario.

NBC is set to broadcast both games on Saturday, first with the Cincinnati Bengals traveling to Pennsylvania to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in a critical AFC North clash. Then in the primetime game, the network is also broadcasting the game between the Buffalo Bills and the Los Angeles Chargers from SoFi Stadium.

However, while the afternoon game is set to air on NBC itself, the primetime game is exclusive to Peacock, the network’s streaming service. Peacock will air two exclusive games this season, and the game between the Bills and the Chargers is the first. The second will come on Wild Card Weekend.

How to watch

  • Who: Buffalo Bills vs LA Chargers
  • When: Saturday, December 23
  • Where: SoFi Stadium
  • When: 8:00 p.m. ET
  • Live Stream: Peacock

Be advised, at the moment there are no free trial promotions available for Peacock, so if you have not signed up for the streaming service yet, and want to watch the game, you will need to sign up here.

However, fans in the Buffalo and Los Angeles media markets can watch the game on their NBC affiliates.

How to stream on Peacock

If you have an account on Peacock, here is what you need to do to find the game.

  • Open the Peacock app on your device.
  • In the Peacock app select the “Sports” tab
  • Under the subsequent “Live and Upcoming” tab, click on “Bills vs. Chargers”
  • The Peacock app can be used on a wide variety of devices, including Apple TV, Google TV, Android TV, Roku, and more. For a full list of supported devices, click here.
