With defending NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes leading the way, the Kansas City Chiefs are looking to improve upon a stellar 12-4 finish a year ago and break a half-century Super Bowl drought in 2019.
Chiefs games this year will be on either CBS (9 games–televised in select markets), Fox (3 games–televised in select markets), NBC (3 games–nationally televised) or ESPN (1 game–nationally televised), while one of the Fox games (Oct. 17 vs Denver) will also be on Amazon Prime.
If you don’t have cable, you can watch Chiefs games live on your computer, phone, Roku, Fire TV Stick, Xbox One, PS4 or other streaming device via one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:

Chiefs 2019 Season Preview
It didn’t take long last season for Patrick Mahomes to show that the Chiefs made the right decision to stick with him after shipping former QB Alex Smith out of town.
Mahomes passed for 5,097 yards and 50 touchdowns during his first full season as the starter in Kanas City, winning the MVP and wowing with his wild style of play and off-balance throws.
But despite Mahomes massive success, veteran Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is keeping his young QB humble.
“There’s things he can work on now that will be important,” Reid said. “There are going to be things when he’s a 15-year vet that he’s still going to have to work on. It’s just one of those positions that you’ve got to hone it in and there’s always something that you want to add to your game.”
Kansas City recently added a new wrinkle to its run with the addition of LeSean McCoy, who was surprisingly released by the Bills on cut day. McCoy previously played for Reid with the Eagles for four seasons, earning first team All-Pro honors in 2011.
“There are not a lot of 31-year-old running backs running around out there,” Reid said shortly after signing McCoy, who will initially play behind Damien Williams. “But he still has the great feet and the vision.”
On the defensive side of the ball, the Chiefs have added some key pieces in safety Tyrann Mathieu and pass-rusher Frank Clark. They hope the duo can help out a unit that finished last season 31st in total defense — ahead of only the lowly Bengals. Veteran coordinator Steve Spagnuolo — formerly of the Giants — has taken over the unit.
“The expectations are high, especially with our football team, especially with the defense just trying to set a standard,” Mathieu said. “It starts with Spags. He’s won some championships. He’s put some great players in the Hall of Fame, with a few more to be inducted.
“The sky is the limit, but it’s going to be a tough hill to climb. It won’t be easy. It’s a new scheme for all of us, so there’s going to be some valleys in there. I think that’s why I’m here, to kind of keep guys up, to keep their spirits right. I think we’ll be all right.”
Odds Shark has the Chiefs win total for 2019 listed at 10.5 — the second highest, behind only the New England Patriots, who ended Kansas City’s season in the AFC Championship a year ago.
