Caitlin Clark has never been shy about her love for the Kansas City Chiefs. And on Tuesday, she made it clear who her favorite player is.
Clark appeared on a bonus episode of Kylie Kelce’s Not Gonna Lie podcast, where Kylie asked whether her brother-in-law, Travis Kelce, is her favorite Chiefs player of all time. Clark didn’t hesitate.
Caitlin Clark’s Chiefs Fandom
The Indiana Fever star grew up in Iowa as a Chiefs fan, and she’s become a regular at Arrowhead Stadium. Last month, she sat with Taylor Swift to cheer on Kelce, and the Kelce brothers showed their support for her on New Heights.
Her loyalty to the Chiefs runs deep. Kylie even praised Clark on the podcast for refusing to put on a Colts jersey, despite playing in Indianapolis.
“Honestly, like in real time, I wasn’t like thinking like, ‘Oh, I’m not going to put this on cause I don’t want like the Chiefs fans mad or Travis mad or whatever.’ But after the fact, I didn’t realize all my teammates had it on. So, that made me look worse. But, whatever. I still have the jersey,” Clark said, on the podcast.
Clark said she supports the Colts, but there’s no question where her allegiance lies.

“No, I mean I wish them the best, the Colts, but I am diehard Chiefs. I’ve been diehard since I was a young kid and it is what it is,” Clark said.
‘Of Course He Is’
At the end of the episode, Kylie asked Clark a very important question: her favorite Chiefs player of all time.
“You’ve been to a lot of Chief games and, I won’t tell Travis either way, but is Travis your favorite Chiefs player of all time?” Kylie asked.
“Come on. Of course he is. I was a Tony Gonzalez fan when I was growing up, too. But no, Travis is definitely my favorite Chiefs player of all time, and Patrick is right behind him. So, it’s been very fun to follow,” Clark said.
Clark also gave her thoughts on the Chiefs’ season so far, saying the team has bounced back after a tough 2025.
“It’s just like they just make it look so easy. Obviously, the Seahawks game the other week wasn’t great for us, but it’s all right. The Seahawks are pretty good, but it’s been fun to kind of see them, like, have the bounceback year that they have had. Obviously, last year was tough with the injuries and everything, but I’m feeling good about it this year,” Clark said.
The Chiefs sit at 5-2 after Sunday’s loss to the Denver Broncos. Needless to say, they’ll have at least one very famous fan in their corner the rest of the way.
