Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce join Big Slick KC 2025 event | Kansas City Star

This is in no way shade or disrespect to the many celebrities who come to Kansas City every year to raise money for Children’s Mercy during Big Slick Celebrity Weekend.

But there are two stars in particular who tend to draw the wildest cheers from the KC crowds: Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his football BFF, tight end Travis Kelce.

So the good news for their fans today is that both are...

Kansas City will (again) have a prominent place among NFL telecasts.

On Wednesday, the NFL released the 2025-26 regular season schedule. Fans of the Kansas City Chiefs should make plans for some late nights — and to plan two major holidays around football. Here’s what to know about the team’s 17 regular-season games.

The NFL doesn’t buy into ‘Chiefs fatigue’

You may have a friend or cousin living in another market groaning that the Chiefs have too many high-profile slots. Someone you’ve interacted with on social media might even swear off watching Kansas City in prime time for fear...

Let’s examine the highs and lows of Kansas City’s 2025 journey.

Now that we know the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2025 schedule, let’s take a way-too-early look at the best and worst games of the coming season.

Philadelphia Eagles at Chiefs — Week 2

What’s not to like about a Super Bowl rematch?

The biggest game on the schedule: Week 9 on the road against the Buffalo Bills (Sunday at 3:25 p.m. on CBS**)**

While I considered picking Week 2’s Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles, in the end, I decided it has to be the Chiefs’ Week 9 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

It’s sometimes difficult to know which teams in the NFL are good until the first four to six games are completed. By Week 9, we’ll likely have a clear...

Kansas City is favored to win its opening game of the 2025 NFL season.

With the full release of the NFL’s official schedule for 2025, we finally confirmed one of the NFL’s open secrets: that the Los Angeles Chargers would host the Kansas City Chiefs in a Week 1 game on Friday, September 5 at Arena Corinthians in São Paulo, Brazil.

Early schedule leaks point to the Chiefs still being a big draw for the NFL.

During the final stretch of the 2024 NFL season, many felt it seemed destined that the Kansas City Chiefs would represent the AFC in the Super Bowl against the would-be NFC Champion Detroit Lions.

It wasn’t to be.

The Chiefs held up to their end of the bargain, but the Lions were upset by the Washington Commanders in the Divisional Round.

We know how the rest of the playoffs played out.

As it turns out, the Chiefs and Lions will indeed meet on a Sunday...

Kansas City won’t have to wait long for another shot against Philadelphia.

The last time we saw the Kansas City Chiefs on a football field, they were soundly defeated by the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX.

Fortunately for Kansas City, it won’t have to wait long into the 2025 NFL season for another shot against Philadelphia. According to FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz, the Chiefs will host the Eagles at Arrowhead Stadium in their Week 2 matchup. The game time is set for the late-afternoon window at 3:25 p.m. Arrowhead Time on FOX.

Since head coach Andy Reid left...

Answering big questions on second-year NFL wide receivers | ESPN

Was the Super Bowl an omen for Xavier Worthy?

In the first half of the 2024 season, the Chiefs were trying to use Worthy as a downfield receiver, and it was not working. Through Weeks 1-12, Worthy averaged 11.9 air yards per target and was catching only 51.9% of his passes. Kansas City’s first-rounder struggled to find the football in the air and catch through contact.

Necessity became the mother of invention, and as the Chiefs’...
