The Chiefs vs Cardinals live stream has Kyler Murray set to see his first action of the preseason, while Patrick Mahomes looks for increased time on the field after he played just one series last week. Either of these quarterbacks can make this NFL live stream must-see TV with their exciting skill sets.
The Chiefs vs Cardinals live stream will begin today (Friday, August 20) at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT. It will air on ESPN.
It probably won’t be long, but for however long it lasts, it will be thrilling. To have Mahomes and Murray on the field in the same game is something that no NFL fan wants to miss, even if it’s “just the preseason.” They are the main reason a game like this is being carried by ESPN.

Murray was held out of the Cardinals’ preseason opener last week against the Cowboys, as were many starters around the league. He said he expects to play this time around against the Chiefs. “I’m going to play a little bit I’m sure,” Murray said Tuesday, “ I just don’t know how much.” As one that’s always up for “going hard,” as he put it, Murray told reporters this week he “wasn’t mad about” sitting out the team’s first game.
Unlike Murray, Mahomes played in his team’s preseason opener, completing one of his two passes in four total plays. Monday, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told the media, "There's a pretty good chance [Mahomes] plays more than the four plays." Reid has a long history of ramping up his starters’ playing time throughout the preseason. In fact, the only starter who didn’t play last week was linebacker Willie Gay, who was dealing with a concussion.
After the quarterback position, Cardinals fans can keep their eyes on second-year running back Eno Benjamin, who turned some heads last week. The 2020 seventh-round pick ran for 50 yards on just five carries and a touchdown against the Cowboys. Chiefs fans will look for another dominant performance from their young defensive end Tim Ward, who came up with two sacks last week against the 49ers.
The Chiefs visit the Cardinals as 3.5-point road favorites. The over/under is 41.
