The Kansas City Chiefs full 2026 schedule includes another heavy dose of national exposure and difficult opponents. Kansas City is currently scheduled for six primetime games and at least 10 nationally televised contests. The Chiefs open the regular season at home on Monday Night Football against the Denver Broncos on September 14th, followed by a Sunday Night Football matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2.
Kansas City’s schedule includes several marquee road games throughout the season. The Chiefs travel to Seattle for a Sunday night matchup against the defending Super Bowl champions in late October and will also play Thanksgiving night in Buffalo against the Bills. That game begins a stretch of consecutive Thursday night contests, with Kansas City traveling to Los Angeles the following week to face the Rams on Amazon Prime Video.
The Chiefs will face nine teams that reached the playoffs in 2025, and their opponents posted a combined winning percentage of .536 last season, giving Kansas City one of the league’s toughest schedules.
