The Kansas City Chiefs: Masters of the Schedule (and Hopefully, the Gridiron)
Ah, the Kansas City Chiefs. A team known for Patrick Mahomes' magic arm, Travis Kelce's Kelce-ness, and leaving defenses feeling like they just finished a marathon...uphill...in the snow. But what about their schedule, you ask? Well, my friend, you've come to the right place. Buckle up, because we're about to dissect their season like a lab frog...but way more exciting (and hopefully less formaldehyde-smelling).

| What is Kansas City Chiefs Schedule |
Preseason: Gearing Up for Greatness (or Avoiding Paper Cuts)
Let's face it, preseason is the appetizer before the main course. It's a time for rookies to prove their worth, veterans to ease back into game mode, and coaches to figure out if they should invest in industrial-strength bandaids (because, let's be real, training camp injuries are a thing). The Chiefs kick things off with a road trip to Jacksonville (don't worry, there's plenty of barbecue to be found there, too) followed by home games against the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears. Bonus points for the most creative touchdown celebration during this time!
Regular Season: Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's Gonna Be a Wild Ride
The real fireworks begin on Thursday, September 5th, when the Chiefs host a rematch of last year's epic AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens. Mark your calendars - this is bound to be a nail-biter! The rest of the season is a smorgasbord of opponents, from familiar faces like the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders to some interesting matchups like the New Orleans Saints and the New York Jets (who knows, maybe they'll finally figure out how to win a Super Bowl...just kidding, Jets fans, we love ya really). There are primetime games, road trips, homecomings, and everything in between. Basically, it's like a choose-your-own-adventure story, but instead of dodging dragons, you're dodging sacks and cheering for touchdowns.
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.
Here are some key dates to keep on your radar:
- October 27th: Chiefs take on the Raiders in a battle for AFC West supremacy (cue the memes about questionable fashion choices).
- November 4th: Monday Night Football against the Tom Brady-less (probably) Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Will the Andy Reid vs. Bruce Arians chess match continue?
- December 25th: Merry Christmas! ...and also a Chiefs game against the Raiders! Talk about a holiday tradition.
So, How Do I Find Out Exactly When the Chiefs Play?
There are a couple of ways to stay on top of the Chiefs' schedule:
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
- The Official Source: Head over to the Chiefs' website [chiefs.com] for the most up-to-date information, including broadcast times and ticket info.
- There's an App for That: Download the NFL app and personalize it to follow the Chiefs. You'll get alerts for game times, scores, and breaking news.
- Befriend a Die-Hard Chiefs Fan: They'll probably have the entire schedule memorized and will happily recite it to you at any given moment (with dramatic flair, of course).
