How to Watch Chiefs vs. Bears in Week 3 Preseason Game

Article image

Chiefs Kingdom, one more tune-up before the real thing. Kansas City hosts Chicago in the Week 3 NFL preseason finale at GEHA Field at Arrowhead. It’s a Friday night kickoff in the heartland—and though it lands on a Friday, it’s a preseason broadcast (not Thursday Night Football branding). Here’s every way to catch it. 

TV Broadcast Options

  • Kansas City market: KSHB 41 is carrying all three Chiefs preseason games; Week 3 kicks at 7:20 PM CDT. Some in-state affiliates (e.g., KWCH in Wichita) also carry the broadcast. 

  • Chicago market: FOX 32 (WFLD) via the Bears’ preseason network. 

  • Live Streaming (U.S.)

    • In-market: Stream your local telecast through your live-TV provider’s app if it includes KSHB (Kansas City) or WFLD (Chicago).

  • Out-of-market: NFL+ streams all preseason games live on mobile/tablet and offers replays on connected devices. Check the national slate; some preseason games also appear on NFL Network depending on windowing. 

  • Game Details

    • Date/Time: Friday, August 22, 2025 — 7:20 PM CDT

  • Location: GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO

  • Why it’s not “TNF”: The TNF brand applies to regular-season packages; preseason games—regardless of day—use local/national preseason windows. 

  • Radio Broadcast Options

    • Chiefs Radio Network: 96.5 The Fan (KFNZ-FM) is the flagship, with Spanish-language coverage from Tico Sports; also available via the SiriusXM app (choose home/away feeds). 

  • Bears Radio Network: ESPN 1000 (AM 1000) is the flagship in Chicago. 

  • Key Players to Watch

    • Chiefs rookies & young defenders: First-round OT Josh Simmons, DT Omarr Norman-Lott, and EDGE Ashton Gillotte headline the 2025 class; look for reps that clarify depth roles. CB Christian Roland-Wallace and S Jaden Hicks (Year 2) have also featured in preseason action. 

  • Bears QB Caleb Williams: Chicago’s second-year QB continues to get scripted work heading into Year 2. 

  • Injury Notes (monitor day-of)

    • KC has dealt with assorted camp nicks; recent reports noted multiple defenders leaving the Seattle game, and depth-chart juggling at DB/LB. Check day-of status.

    Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
    Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
