Fans got a couple early looks at some upcoming marquee matchups, but now the Kansas City Chiefs’ full 2025 regular season schedule has arrived.

Since the end of Super Bowl LIX, the Kansas City Chiefs have been itching to get back to the gridiron and make amends after falling one game short of NFL history. The team has retooled through free agency and the NFL Draft, hoping to continue fending off a strong AFC West and conference at-large.

Now, the warpath back to the top of the mountain has been laid out. The Chiefs’ have their 18-game schedule with a total of nine national matchups on the docket.

Week 1: at Los Angeles Chargers (Friday, Sept. 5)

Week 2: vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Week 3: at New York Giants

Week 4: vs. Baltimore Ravens

Week 5: at Jacksonville Jaguars

Week 6: vs. Detroit Lions

Week 7: vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Week 8: vs. Washington Commanders

Week 9: at Buffalo Bills

Week 10: Bye

Week 11: at Denver Broncos

Week 12: vs. Indianapolis Colts

Week 13: at Dallas Cowboys (Thursday, Nov. 27 Thanksgiving)

Week 14: vs. Houston Texans

Week 15: vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Week 16: at Tennessee Titans

Week 17: vs. Denver Broncos (Thursday, Dec. 25 Christmas)

Week 18: at Las Vegas Raiders

Kansas City will appear on both major holidays at the end of the calendar year, first taking a trip to AT&T Stadium to face the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. They will then host the Denver Broncos on Christmas Day.

They open the 2025 season on a different continent for the first time ever, playing the Los Angeles Chargers in the NFL’s Sao Paulo game in Brazil.

That trip proceeds arguably the most anticipated game of the season for Chiefs fans when they host the Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of February’s Super Bowl.

They turn around for their first of three scheduled appearances on Sunday Night Football, visiting the New York Giants on Week 3 Sunday Night Football.

Kansas City ends September with a head-turning home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens and will start October visiting the Jacksonville Jaguars before returning home. That sets up their second SNF game against the Detroit Lions.

The Detroit game marks the start of a three-game home stand with the Las Vegas Raiders and Washington Commanders following in the weeks after. This sets up a massive road game to start November as they reignite their rivalry with the Buffalo Bills in their final duel at Highmark Stadium.

The Chiefs’ bye week leads into their yearly trip to Denver to play the Broncos before playing the Indianapolis Colts back at Arrowhead Stadium. They start off December with their third SNF appearance at home against the Houston Texans ahead of their second game against the Chargers.

A three-game stretch at the Tennessee Titans, home against Denver for Christmas and then at the Raiders closes the regular season.
