The Chiefs will open the season against the Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil, on Sept. 5. That game will be streamed exclusively on YouTube and YouTube TV and will make history as the first NFL game to be streamed live and for free in its entirety on YouTube.
A week later, Chiefs fans will have GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium rocking for the first home game of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of Super Bowl LIX.
Earlier this week, the NFL announced the Chiefs will travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys on Thanksgiving afternoon.
The league also announced the Chiefs will host the Denver Broncos on Christmas night at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in presumably their final primetime game of the regular season.
Other notable matchups include Sunday Night Football games against the New York Giants in Week 3, the Detroit Lions in Week 6 and a rematch of last year's AFC Divisional game against the Houston Texans in Week 14, a Monday Night Football matchup against the Washington Commanders in Week 8, and an AFC Championship Game rematch against the Buffalo Bills in Week 9.
The last international game for the Chiefs came in 2023 when they traveled to Frankfurt, Germany, to play the Miami Dolphins. The Chiefs won the game 21-14.
