Stream NFL on CBS with Paramount+ this Thanksgiving as Chiefs take on Cowboys

Thanksgiving Day is once again bringing prime-time football alongside turkey and sides. On Thursday, November 27, the Kansas City Chiefs will face the Dallas Cowboys at 4:30 p.m. ET at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This year’s matchup is available to stream live via the “NFL on CBS” offering inside the Paramount+ service, meaning you can follow the action from any device while sitting down for the game.

This Thursday afternoon slot has become a holiday tradition for the Cowboys, and the league’s newer media-deals now let fans stream these high-visibility games rather than relying exclusively on traditional TV. Indeed, the November 27 date places this event in the “NFL on TV today” conversation.

• Date & Time: Thursday, Nov. 27 at 4:30 p.m. ET
• Teams: Kansas City Chiefs @ Dallas Cowboys
• Where to watch: CBS broadcast or stream via Paramount+
• Viewing context: Watch local and featured national games so you’re aligned for both TV schedule and streaming

A Holiday Stage Set for Chiefs at Cowboys

For starters, Thanksgiving matchups have a rich history in the NFL. The holiday games date back decades, with teams like the Detroit Lions and the Cowboys hosting regular showings. The game time slot and the broadcast prominence ensure it’s one of the most-watched contests each year.

What makes this particular Chiefs-Cowboys pairing stand out: Kansas City hasn’t played on Thanksgiving in nearly twenty years, while Dallas returns to its traditional host role. These factors mean the stakes feel higher and the setting feels special.

How to watch

If you plan to stream rather than flip on your TV, here’s what to keep in mind:

• Kickoff is set for 4 : 30 p.m. ET (that’s 3 : 30 p.m. CST, given Dallas’s time-zone).
• The game will be broadcast on CBS and available via Paramount+.
• Using Paramount+ means you’ll be able to stream the “NFL on CBS” game live, for this Thanksgiving slot and for select Sunday games throughout the season.

To get the most out of your football-festive afternoon, prepare ahead: check your internet connection and streaming device early, so there’s no scrambling right before kickoff. If you’ll have friends or family around for dinner and the game, try to set up your streaming equipment before the food hits the table. And if you’re switching between broadcast TV and streaming, confirm your channel or app is ready well ahead of the scheduled start.
