Kansas City Chiefs set for eight standalone games in 2025, open season in Brazil
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — The Kansas City Chiefs’ path to avenge last year’s Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles is set.
The NFL officially unveiled the 2025 schedule on Wednesday, with Kansas City slated to appear in eight standalone matchups, including seven in primetime. The season opens outside the country, as the Chiefs take on the Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil, on Sept. 5.
Kansas City will return to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium for its home opener in Week 2, hosting the defending champion Eagles. The matchup is one of four home primetime contests scheduled this fall. Following the Eagles, the Chiefs head to MetLife Stadium to face the New York Giants under the Sunday Night Football lights on Sept. 21, before hosting the Baltimore Ravens a week later.
Two Monday night showdowns also headline the slate. The first comes Oct. 6 at Jacksonville. The second features a Week 8 home tilt with the Washington Commanders on Oct. 27, wrapping up a three-game homestand that also includes the Detroit Lions and Las Vegas Raiders.
Kansas City visits Buffalo on Nov. 2 in an AFC Championship Game rematch, then enters its bye in Week 10. After the break, the team travels to Denver before returning home to host the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 23.
Four days later, the Chiefs will play on Thanksgiving for the first time since 2006, facing the Cowboys in Dallas. It’s their 11th all-time appearance on the holiday.
December features another Sunday night showcase when Houston visits Arrowhead on Dec. 7. Kansas City then closes out the regular season with four straight AFC matchups, including a Dec. 25 Christmas Day home game versus the Broncos, airing exclusively on Prime Video.
The regular season finale takes place in Las Vegas against the Raiders, with the date and time still to be announced.
The Chiefs’ 2025 schedule includes 10 games against playoff teams from a year ago and ranks as the 11th most difficult based on opponent win percentage (.522). Kansas City is chasing its 10th straight AFC West title.
