The Chicago Bears take on the Kansas City Chiefs today in the NFL Preseason. Here's how to watch the game at home.

The Kansas City Chiefs will wrap up their preseason slate of games today, hosting the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium. After tough losses to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Detroit Lions, the two-time defending Super Bowl champs are hoping to conclude the 2024 NFL preseason with one win. While most of the Chiefs' starters will be sitting on the bench, fans won't want to miss this final tune-up before the regular season starts.

Having played in the Hall of Fame Game, Chicago already has three wins in the books. The Bears will not play the majority of their starters in their preseason finale today, head coach Matt Eberflus said Tuesday. That means the next time we'll see No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams on the field will be in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans.
