The Kansas City Chiefs hit the road once more this weekend, this time heading to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers. Below, we’ve put together everything you need to know about how to watch the Chiefs vs. Chargers, whether you have cable or are hoping to live stream the game.
The Chiefs are so far undefeated this season, winning their games against the Baltimore Ravens (1-2), Cincinnati Bengals (0-3), and Atlanta Falcons (1-2). The Chargers have had a slightly better start to the season than the Chiefs’ most recent competitors with a 2-1 record, so they pose a bit more of a challenge for the reigning Super Bowl champs.
The Chiefs and Chargers historically play fairly tight games against each other. Their last head-to-head in January 2024 saw Kansas City narrowly squeak by with a 13-12 win against Los Angeles, so today’s match-up could be another close game.
