Packers vs. Chiefs Week 8: Start time, live stream, TV info and more

The Green Bay Packers meet the Kansas City Chiefs for the first time since 2015. Here’s how to watch.

For the fourth time in eight weeks, the Green Bay Packers play in primetime.

The battle between Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes will have to wait, however, as Mahomes is unavailable after suffering a dislocated kneecap in the Kanas City Chiefs’ big win over the Denver Broncos last week.

But it should still be a competitive game between two potential playoff teams. Here’s how you can watch the game tonight:

Date: Sunday, Oct. 27
Kickoff time: 7:20 p.m. CT
Location: Kansas City, MO
Stadium: Arrowhead Stadium
TV channel: NBC
Live stream: NBC Live Extra, fuboTV

After already playing five games at Lambeau Field, this is the first of a long stretch away from home. Four of the next five will be played on the road, making this a tough part of the schedule for the Packers, and an important one. If they can continue to win regularly, it won’t be long before they’ve secured a playoff berth.

However, struggle on the road and the Minnesota Vikings will have the opportunity to take over the lead in the NFC North.

A win on Sunday would put the Packers in a commanding position in the NFC, and potentially only a few wins a way from securing at least a wild-card berth. Matt LaFleur’s team has built up a lot of momentum in recent weeks, and it’s important to keep that going on the road, especially as they’ll be playing against a backup quarterback on Sunday.

But in primetime, the Packers will need to overcome a tough environment to play in. The home fans will be loud, and the Chiefs have some great players on offense who will test Mike Pettine’s defense.

Green Bay will reach the halfway stage of its 2019 schedule on Sunday night. Will it be 7-1 or 6-2 entering another road game next weekend?
