Over the past seven seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs have solidified their status as one of the NFL’s premier franchises, leading to numerous high-profile matchups. Notably, they’ve participated in Christmas Day games for the past two seasons and featured in five primetime games in 2024.
With Patrick Mahomes at the helm, the Chiefs are poised to remain a top contender, ensuring more marquee games in the future.
Chiefs Pursuing Two Major Primetime Slots for 2025 Season
According to reports, discussions during the NFL owners’ meetings have centered on the Chiefs potentially opening the 2025 season in Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers and continuing their presence on Christmas Day.
In 2024, the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers kicked off the season on a Friday night in Brazil, with the Eagles, who later clinched the Super Bowl, emerging victorious. A Chiefs-Chargers opener in Brazil would arguably be a more significant matchup, given the Chiefs’ substantial fanbase and the divisional stakes involved.
Every division game is crucial, and scheduling such a contest in Week 1 overseas would heighten its appeal.
Furthermore, the Chiefs aspire to establish themselves as a staple on Christmas Day, akin to the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys’ traditional Thanksgiving games. While some fans might have mixed feelings about this, it could enhance the NFL’s holiday offerings.
Ultimately, Chiefs Kingdom and the broader NFL community will await the schedule release in May to confirm Kansas City’s primetime engagements for the upcoming season.
