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.

    Chiefs Icon Tony Gonzalez Returns as Co-Owner to Lead From the Front
    Kansas City, MO  The Kansas City Chiefs are turning a new page in their storied history. This week, reports confirmed that franchise legend Tony Gonzalez has officially purchased a stake in the team, returning to Arrowhead as a co-owner. Few tight ends in NFL history have embodied excellence like Gonzalez. With 1,325 receptions, 15,127 yards, and 111 touchdowns, the Hall of Famer redefined the position and helped set the standard for the modern Chiefs offense — reliability, precision, and relentless work ethic.   Gonzalez’s bond with Kansas City has always reached beyond football. From youth initiatives to leadership clinics, he built a reputation for showing up for the community, mentoring the next generation with the same focus that made him a first-ballot Hall of Famer.   Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2019 and a member of the Chiefs Hall of Fame/Ring of Honor, Gonzalez is cemented as one of the franchise’s most beloved figures. Now he returns not only as a hero of the past, but as an architect of the future.   He’s no stranger to the business side of sports and media. Post-retirement, Gonzalez built a portfolio that spans broadcasting, fitness, and tech investments — experience he now brings back to Kansas City, where he’ll work alongside Clark Hunt and the front office to shape the Chiefs’ identity for the years ahead.   The move signals as much a cultural reset as a business decision. Fans across X and Facebook erupted with excitement, calling it a “homecoming done right” and a chance for Gonzalez to lead again — this time from the boardroom instead of the red zone.   For Gonzalez, the message is simple: whether catching passes or crafting strategy, leadership travels. And for Chiefs Kingdom, the idea of their greatest tight end helping guide the future feels like destiny meeting design.
