Today's Bears vs Chiefs live stream comes from a hot and sticky Arrowhead Stadium, where the KC faithful are hoping to get a closer look at not just Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, but Xavier Worthy, who's stolen the show this preseason — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!
Bears vs Chiefs live stream, date, time and channels
The Bears vs Chiefs live stream takes place today (Thursday, August 22). ► Time: 8:20 p.m. ET / 5:20 p.m. PT / 1:20 a.m. BST (Aug. 23) / 10:20 a.m. AEST (Aug. 23) • FREE STREAM — NFL Game Pass (U.K, Australia) • U.S. — Watch on NFL Network via Sling • Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN 100% risk free
The 28th overall pick from the Texas Longhorns has brought blistering speed to the Chiefs offense, the likes of which hasn't been seen since Tyreek Hill departed for Miami, and he lit up the display against the Lions with 61 yards and a touchdown.
This evening's clash also presents Louis Rees-Zammit's last chance to earn a spot on Andy Reid's 53-man roster for the NFL season. The Welsh wing is one of international rugby's brightest stars, but so far he's been limited to brief snippets of action on kickoff and punt return duty, and as a wide receiver.
Matt Eberflus, unfortunately, has opted to rest Caleb Williams until the season begins in earnest, which means we're going to have to wait for our first opportunity to see the No.1 pick share a field with Mahomes, who he's drawn comparisons with for his fun-loving, backyard style.
