Travis Kelce is reportedly planning to return to the Kansas City Chiefs for the 2026-2027 season.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport broke the news Monday morning.
“Back for more: #Chiefs future Hall of Fame TE Travis Kelce is expected to return to Kansas City for a 14th season, a message that’s been delivered to teams who will want him,” Rapoport’s X post read.
“At 36, Kelce’s play was at its usual level, landing him in the Pro Bowl. He’s loyal to KC & will stay.”
The Independent has reached out to Kelce’s representative and the Kansas City Chiefs for comment.

Toward the end of this past football season, Kelce admitted to struggling with a retirement decision.
He revealed in a New Heights podcast episode earlier this year, “Last year was a little bit easier. I think I knew right away I wanted to kind of give this one (year) a shot. We'll see.”
Kelce’s decision to return to the football field came after a difficult NFL season, as the Chiefs finished the season 6-11 and were plagued by injuiries including quarterback Patrick Mahomes tearing his ACL in December.
