The National Football League announced the schedule for the 2025 season on Wednesday. The Chiefs are currently slated to play eight standalone games, including seven primetime contests, with GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium hosting four. It also features the Chiefs in contests on both Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Kansas City will kick off the 2025 season internationally against the Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil, on Friday, Sept. 5 in the NFL's first-ever live NFL game broadcast on YouTube. The contest marks the club's first international contest since playing in Frankfurt, Germany, in 2023, as well as the first AFC West matchup of the season as the Chiefs continue their quest for a 10th-consecutive AFC West title. This year's regular season schedule features 10 games vs. opponents that made the playoffs in 2024. The combined 2024 record of Kansas City's 2025 home and away opponents is 151-138-0 (.522).
In Week 2, the Chiefs will host the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles for a Super Bowl LIX rematch in their home opener on Sept. 14. On Sept. 21, the club will hit the road to play the New York Giants on the first of three NBC Sunday Night Football broadcasts before returning home to play the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 28.
The Chiefs then travel to play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday, Oct. 6 in the club's first of two Monday Night Football showdowns. The Chiefs return to Kansas City to host three-straight home games, including two primetime matchups. Weeks 6-8 feature games vs. the Detroit Lions on Sunday night, Oct. 12, the Las Vegas Raiders on Oct. 19, and then the Washington Commanders on Monday, Oct. 27. The club will travel to the Buffalo Bills for an AFC Championship Game rematch on Sunday, Nov. 2 before enjoying the Bye Week during Week 10.
The Chiefs return to action Week 11 as they travel to Denver to play the Broncos on Nov. 16 before returning home to host the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 23. Just four days later on Thursday, Nov. 27, the Chiefs will play the Cowboys in Dallas on Thanksgiving Day, marking the 11th time the club will play on Thanksgiving Day and first since Kansas City hosted Denver at Arrowhead Stadium on Nov. 23, 2006. That matchup marked the first-ever live game broadcast on NFL Network. The Chiefs have played the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day once before on Nov. 23, 1995. The club holds a 5-5 record in games played on Thanksgiving.
Kansas City returns home for back-to-back matchups in Weeks 14-15, playing the Houston Texans on Sunday night, Dec. 7 and then the Los Angeles Chargers on Dec. 14. The Chiefs then travel to Nashville, Tennessee, to take on the Tennessee Titans on Dec. 21 before closing out the regular season against two AFC West opponents. The Chiefs will host the Denver Broncos on Dec. 25, marking the third-straight season the club will play on Christmas Day. This season's matchup will air on Prime Video as a part of Amazon's Thursday Night Football package. The Chiefs will close out the regular season by taking on the Raiders in Las Vegas. The date and time are to be determined.
