Finishing 6-11, the Chiefs lost eight of their final nine games in 2025, including losses to division rivals the Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders, and Los Angeles Chargers.There were a lot of factors that played into the Chiefs disappointing 2025 campaign. Like the fact that the Chiefs pass rush was exclusively found on a milk carton, or the absence of any hint of explosiveness at the running back position.Kansas Citys season was already in the trash heap by the time Mahomes tore his ACL in the Week 15 loss to the Chargers. Still, there is no doubt that Mahomes injury is when things went from bad to a dumpster fire.For a team that appeared in three straight Super Bowls from 2022-2024 (winning two of them), 2025s fall from grace was a stark reminder that in todays NFL, the fate of a franchise is constantly ebbing and flowing. As hard as the climb to the top is, the fall from grace is twice as sudden and bumpy on the way down.If the Chiefs want to climb out of the AFC West cellar and improve on last seasons third-place finish, they need to be more balanced on offense and find a way to get to the opposing quarterback.Kansas City seems to think theyve figured out the solution to these problems.The Chiefs signed star running back Kenneth Walker in free agency this offseason, and on the defensive side of the ball, Kansas City invested heavily in the pass rush by selecting defensive lineman Peter Woods and edge rusher R Mason Thomas within the top 100 picks of the draft.In addition, the Chiefs retooled their coaching staff on offense, bringing offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy back into the fold, as well as hiring new running backs coach Demarco Murray and wide receivers coach Chad OShea.The big question is, have the Chiefs done enough to contend for a Super Bowl in 2026?FanDuel Sportsbook seems to think so. The Over/Under win total for the Chiefs is set at 10.5 this season, and has given Kansas City the fifth-best odds in the NFL tomake the playoffsat -184.The Chiefs are also tied for the fifth-best odds to win the Super Bowl.Heres the Chiefs full Schedule of games for the 2026 Season.Chiefs SchedulePreseasonWeek 1 vs. Los Angeles RamsDate:Saturday, August 15Time:3 p.m. CSTTV:NFL+Location:Arrowhead StadiumKansas City, MoWeek 2 vs. Tampa Bay BuccaneersDate:Saturday, August 22Time:6:30 p.m. CSTTV:ESPN UnlimitedLocation:Raymond James StadiumTampa, FlWeek 3 vs. Seattle SeahawksDate:Friday, August 28Time:7 p.m. CSTTV:ESPN UnlimitedLocation:Arrowhead StadiumKansas City, MoRegular SeasonWeek 1 vs Denver BroncosDate:Monday, September 14Time:7:15 p.m. CSTTV:ESPN, ABCLocation:Arrowhead StadiumKansas City, MoWeek 2 Indianapolis ColtsDate:Sunday, September 20Time:7:20 p.m. CSTTV:NBCLocation:Arrowhead StadiumKansas City, MoWeek 3 at Miami DolphinsDate: Sunday, September 27Time: 12:00 p.m. CSTTV: CBSLocation: Hard Rock Stadium Miami Gardens, Fla.Week 4 at Las Vegas RaidersDate: Sunday, October 4Time: 3:25 p.m. CSTTV: CBSLocation: Allegiant Stadium Las Vegas, Nev.Week 5 BYEWeek 6 vs Los Angeles ChargersDate: Sunday, October 18Time: 3:25 p.m. CSTTV: CBSLocation: Arrowhead Stadium Kansas City, Mo.Week 7 at Seattle SeahawksDate: Sunday, October 25Time: 7:20 p.m. CSTTV: NBCLocation: Lumen Field Seattle, Wash.Week 8 at Denver BroncosDate: Sunday, November 1Time: 3:25 p.m. CSTTV: CBSLocation: Empower Field at Mile High Denver, Colo.Week 9 vs New York JetsDate: Sunday, November 8Time: 12:00 p.m. CSTTV: CBSLocation: Arrowhead Stadium Kansas City, Mo.Week 10 at Atlanta FalconsDate: Sunday, November 15Time: 12:00 p.m. CSTTV: CBSLocation: Mercedes-Benz Stadium Atlanta, Ga.Week 11 vs Arizona CardinalsDate: Sunday, November 22Time: 12:00 p.m. CSTTV: CBSLocation: Arrowhead Stadium Kansas City, Mo.Week 12 at Buffalo BillsDate: Thursday, November 26 (Thanksgiving)Time: 7:20 p.m. CSTTV: NBCLocation: Highmark Stadium Orchard Park, N.Y.Week 13 at Los Angeles RamsDate: Thursday, December 3Time: 7:15 p.m. CSTTV: Amazon Prime VideoLocation: SoFi Stadium Inglewood, Calif.Week 14 at Cincinnati BengalsDate: Sunday, December 13Time: 3:25 p.m. CSTTV: FOXLocation: Paycor Stadium Cincinnati, OhioWeek 15 vs New England PatriotsDate: Monday, December 21Time: 7:15 p.m. CSTTV: ESPN, ABCLocation: Arrowhead Stadium Kansas City, Mo.Week 16 vs San Francisco 49ersDate: Sunday, December 27Time: 3:25 p.m. CSTTV: CBSLocation: Arrowhead Stadium Kansas City, Mo.Week 17 at Los Angeles ChargersDate: TBDTime: TBDTV: TBDLocation: SoFi Stadium Inglewood, Calif.Week 18 vs Las Vegas RaidersDate: TBDTime: TBDTV: TBDLocation: Arrowhead Stadium Kansas City, Mo.
