Chiefs Wrap Up Preseason Play Tonight at Arrowhead

The Chiefs play their third and final preseason game of the 2024 season tonight at 7:20 pm against the Chicago Bears.

• Tune Up: Tonight’s game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium will be the last time the Chiefs take the field before they kick off the 2024 NFL Season against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, September 5th. According to Coach Andy Reid, the starters will not play this evening. 

• Fun Fact: The Bears are 3-0 this preseason, while the Chiefs have gone 0-2. If the Chiefs lose tonight, they’ll look to become just the second team in NFL history to go winless in the preseason and still win the Super Bowl.

Tickets are still available for tonight’s game and start at just $15.
