The Kansas City Chiefs missed out on a championship three-peat last year, falling to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. Now, the Chiefs — who won the Super Bowl in 2023 and 2024 — will no doubt be looking for redemption, as Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and co. take to the field for the 2025-26 NFL season.
But first, they’ll have to get through a tough NFL schedule that takes them through rivals and fellow Super Bowl contenders, Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions, among others.
Want to watch the 2025-2026 NFL season Chiefs games? Here’s what you need to know.
At a Glance: How to Watch Kansas City Chiefs NFL Games
The Chiefs are back with much of the same team that won Super Bowl LVIII, including quarterback Mahomes, defensive tackle Chris Jones, and tight end Kelce. Nine of their games this season will be played at home at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium (find tickets here). Kansas City is on the road for their other eight games.
Of course, many viewers will also tune in for a Taylor Swift sighting, with the pop star frequently seen in attendance to cheer on boyfriend Kelce.
