Bears vs. Chiefs, preseason Week 3: How to watch with and without cable

The preseason finale is upon us this week with the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Chicago Bears on Thursday evening. The Chiefs have lost their previous two preseason games but, as everyone knows by now, preseason games are like an episode of Who's Line Is It Anyway? where the points don't matter.

It's typically tradition for starters not to play in the final preseason game and that will be the case for the Chiefs, who won't send Patrick Mahomes and company out onto the field. This is the final chance for the players who are lower on the depth chart to show they belong on the roster.

For the fans who are interested in watching the backups, third-stringers, and beyond play to earn a spot on the team, let's get you all the information you'll need to watch the Chiefs vs Bears on Thursday night.

Bears vs Chiefs: Game Details

Date: Aug. 22
Time: 7:20 p.m. CST
Location: GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium

As noted earlier, the Chiefs starters will be hanging out on the sideline for the preseason finale. This is usually what happens in the final preseason game since teams don't want to risk getting their key players injured right before the regular season is set to commence.
