Here’s how you can watch Kansas City’s Royals playoff & Chiefs game at the same time

Two exciting Kansas City sports games are taking place Monday — at almost the exact same time. Learn how to watch this Kansas City sports extravaganza.

After a two-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles in the American League Wild Card Series, the Royals are playing in the American League Division Series . And the undefeated Chiefs will take the spotlight on Monday Night Football .

Luckily the Truman Sports Complex will only host one game. The Chiefs take on the New Orleans Saints at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, while the Royals face the Yankees in New York City.

Kansas Citians shared how they plan to watch the games , with some focusing on the boys in blue and others turning their attention toward the back-to-back Super Bowl Champions. Even Mayor Quinton Lucas weighed in with his plans. And playoff ticket prices are already high when the Royals return to Kauffman Stadium later in the week.
