Chiefs vs Ravens is scheduled to begin at 8:15 p.m. ET / 5:15 p.m. PT today (Monday, Sept 28).
It's on ESPN, closing out week 3 on Monday Night Football.

It's game time! Today's Chiefs vs Ravens live stream has all the potential in the world, featuring the kind of all-star duel we always hope to catch, but don't always actually see. Two of the best QBs, the previous seasons' last league MVPs are about to go head to head, as Patrick Mahomes leads the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs against Lamar Jackson and his Baltimore Ravens.

Of course, there's a bit of larger-scale intrigue here. Both teams are undefeated, and since Lamar won that MVP trophy last year and the Chiefs won the Super Bowl that same year, a win here says a lot about who is the most dominant team in the league. And for the Chiefs to win this NFL live stream, they'll have to set their own (fast) pace early.

This AFC bout — which many had expected would be a major face-off in last year's playoffs — will test a conventional wisdom going around that the Ravens defense isn't going to have any luck with Mahomes' offense. There's a belief that Mahomes will perform his best against Baltimore's aggressive defense, and we shall see if his efficient offense truly wins out.

Even though Kansas City has yet to have a game with truly amazing offense, they're still picked by many to win this matchup. But it shouldn't be close.

The Chiefs vs Ravens game could very well be a shootout thanks to two stacked offenses, and should be one of the more entertaining games of the week. Here's everything you need to know to catch the game live.

How to watch Chiefs vs Ravens live streams with a VPN

Football fans, if for some reason you've had to leave your own "bubble" — or you've been hit by a dreaded local blackout — and you can't watch the Chiefs vs Ravens live stream, you don't have to miss the game. With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home town (or somewhere that blackouts won't hit), and access the same streaming services you already paid for. 

Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service. But you've got other VPN options as well. Here are our top picks.

ExpressVPN

We think speed, security and simplicity make ExpressVPN second to none. During our tests, we saw fast connection times, and we're impressed by the service's ability to access more than 3,000 services spread out across 160 locations in 94 countries. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied.

IPVanish

You should also check out IPVanish, another of the best VPNs, which has unlimited device connections, and it’s also great for working around Netflix’s geo restrictions, so you can watch stuff on international Netflix plans that isn’t in your neck of the globe. Its annual plan works out to a low $5.20 per month, too.
