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