Watch Kansas City Chiefs Vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Stream Live: NFL Preseason Week 2, Start Time, Preview


Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers were forced to adjust to life without three-time Pro Bowl running back Le’Veon Bell, who sat out the entire season in a contract dispute, and then left for the New York Jets after the season. Perhaps as a result, the Steelers finished at 9-6 and failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2013, per Pro Football Reference. This year, the Steelers have also lost wide receiver Antonio Brown — a seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver. Now, the Steelers face their first real test when they host the AFC’s winningest team in 2018, the Kansas City Chiefs, in a Week 2 preseason NFL game that will live stream from Heinz Field.

To find out how to watch a free live stream of the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers NFL preseason Week 2 showdown, see the streaming information at the bottom of this article. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. EDT at 68,400-seat Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, August 16. That start time will be 6:30 p.m. CDT, and 4:30 p.m. PDT.

In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the Chiefs-Steelers preseason game kicks off at 12:30 a.m. British Summer Time on Sunday, August 17. Down under in Australia, the game gets underway at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, Eastern Australia Standard Time, or 7:30 a.m. Western. In Japan, kickoff will come at 8:30 a.m. Japan Time on Sunday.

Of course, the Steelers team that takes the field on Saturday will also be missing future Hall of Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who will sit out the game in favor of former Oklahoma State star Mason Rudolph, according to the Belleville News-Democrat newspaper. How many of the Steelers’ other starters will see playing time in the game remains unclear.

But for the Chiefs, Coach Andy Reid says that he expects his starters, presumably including last year’s NFL touchdown pass leader — with 50 — Patrick Mahomes, to complete the entire first half of the game. The Chiefs steamrolled the Cincinnati Bengals in their first preseason outing, 38-17, per NFL.com, but even a weakened Steelers squad should present a tougher obstacle for Mahomes and company.
