Detroit Lions vs Kansas City Chiefs: How to watch preseason for free!
DETROIT (FOX 2) - The second tune-up for Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions comes against a formidable foe: The Kansas City Chiefs.
The two-time defending Super Bowl champions will welcome Detroit to Arrowhead this Sunday, Aug. 17 for each team's second preseason game of the year.
Of course, the last time the Lions were in Kansas City was week one of the 2023 season – which ended with a 21-20 Lions victory that spoiled the Chiefs' Super Bowl celebration.

The differences between that game and this preseason matchup will be stark as we're unlikely to see many starters for much playing time.
In the Lions' first game of the season, no starters saw the field as Campbell and company opted to rest Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Aidan Hutchinson, and the rest of the starters.
As for the Chiefs, in their first game of the preseason, they lost wide receiver Marquise Brown to a shoulder injury on the first play. He's expected to miss some time over the next few weeks.
Will we see any Lions' starters this weekend? The only way to find out is to watch the game on FOX 2!
