Kansas City Chiefs announce 2026 season schedule
We now know the schedule for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2026. The Chiefs will host the Denver Broncos in the season opener on “Monday Night Football” on ABC/ESPN. Kansas City will have five other primetime games this upcoming season.
The full 2026 NFL schedule will be released Thursday night, completing the list of 272 games over 18 weeks. The season kicks off on Sept. 9 when the Seattle Seahawks raise their Super Bowl banner. It’ll be the second time the NFL season opens on a Wednesday — the Giants hosted the Cowboys on Sept.
The NFL will be releasing the full schedule at 8 p.m. ET tonight. Of course, you probably won't have to wait that long for the unveiling and that's because there's a good chance that all 272 games are going to leak out before tonight.
