At 6-0, Kansas City remains the NFL's only undefeated team after winning the Super Bowl rematch with the 49ers on Sunday in Santa Clara. This Sunday, the two-time defending champions travel to Las Vegas to take on the rival Raiders.

Vegas enters the Week 8 contest after losing last Sunday's game 20-15 to the Rams. Quarterback Aidan O'Connell was injured early in the game and was replaced by original season starter Gardner Minshew. O'Connell has since been placed on injured reserve and with a strong Chiefs defense, Kansas City enters this weekend as a 10-point favorite.

Here's how to watch the Chiefs vs. Raiders game online from anywhere using a VPN

If you cannot watch the game locally due to misapplied blackout restrictionsYou may need another way to watch the game and this is where using a VPN can help. A VPN is also the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic. Plus, it's a great idea if you're traveling and connected to a Wi-Fi network and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

A VPN allows you to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to gain access to the game. So if your internet provider or cell phone provider has assigned you an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a restricted zone, a VPN can fix this problem by assigning you an IP address in your correct, unlocked area. Most VPNs, like ours Editor's Choice, ExpressVPNMake it really easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you are streaming. You should make sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even if VPNs are legal, the streaming service can terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips to stream Chiefs vs. Raiders game via VPN

• Because there are four variables at play – your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN – experience and success may vary.
• If you don't see your desired location as the default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “Search by city or country” option.
• If you're having trouble receiving the game after turning on your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and ensure that the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing range. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file in your account. Second, some smart TVs – like Roku – don't have VPN apps that you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll need to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you use (such as your phone) so that every device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
• All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main page for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases, with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you may be asked to confirm a numeric code or click a link that is sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. A VPN on your router also helps here, as both devices then appear to be in the correct location.
• And remember that browsers can often reveal a location despite using a VPN. Therefore, make sure you use a privacy-focused browser to log into your services. We usually recommend Brave.
