Relive the 2024 Kansas City Chiefs’ season in ‘The Kingdom’
Relive the 2024 Kansas City Chiefs’ season in ‘The Kingdom’
The new ESPN documentary takes viewers through the 2024 Chiefs season, a tale of triumph and tragedy.
As a fan of a rival AFC West team, it pains me to see a literal dynasty arising in the same division. But that is exactly what’s happening with the Kansas City Chiefs. The team has been one of the most dominant franchises in the league over the past half-decade, and they almost won it all again in 2024. Viewers can go behind the scenes of last season with the new docuseries “The Kingdom,” which debuts on ESPN, ESPN+, and Disney+ starting Thursday, Aug. 14. We think the best way to watch is with a subscription to Disney+.

Why do we recommend watching ‘The Kingdom’ on Disney+?
If you have a pay-TV channel package that includes ESPN and are willing to wait for all episodes to arrive, that’s definitely a good option for watching “The Kingdom.” However, the on-demand magic that you can find with a Disney+ subscription is hard to ignore.
Disney+ comes with the classic library of animated Disney favorites from decades past to present, and other favorites like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars franchise to enjoy as well. Plus, Disney+ comes with the flexibility of the Disney Bundle; Disney+ can be added to Hulu or ESPN+ with discounts in the neighborhood 40% off what you’d pay to sign up for the services separately.
Just want Disney+ by itself? No problem, you can get it for $10 per month if you want it with ads. That’s cheaper than live TV streaming services that carry ESPN, or ESPN+’s monthly price of $12 per month.
Disney+
Disney+ is a video streaming service with over 13,000 series and films from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, The Muppets, and more. It is available in 61 countries and 21 languages. It is notable for its popular original series like “The Mandalorian,” “Ms. Marvel,” “Loki,” “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” and “Andor.”
Can you watch ‘The Kingdom’ on Disney+ for free?
This is one area that Disney+ can’t help you with; the streamer doesn’t offer a free trial to new or returning customers of any kind.
What are all the services you can use to watch ‘The Kingdom’?
Alongside Disney+ and ESPN+, you can stream “The Kingdom” with a subscription to any one of five live TV streaming services that carry ESPN. This channel is found on DIRECTV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV; all of those services aside from YouTube TV offers a free trial of some length.
