Primetime kings
For the third consecutive season, the Chiefs will participate in five primetime games. Here is a look at those matchups this year:
| Week | Opponent | Time (CT) | Date |
| 1 | vs. Houston Texans | 7:20 p.m. Thu, Sept. 10th |
| 3 | at Baltimore Ravens | 7:15 p.m. Mon, Sept. 28th |
| 6 | at Buffalo Bills | 7:20 p.m. Thu, Oct 15th |
| 11 | at Las Vegas Raiders | 7:20 p.m. Sun, Nov. 22nd |
| 13 | vs. Denver Broncos | 7:20 p.m. Sun, Dec. 6th |
In the first six weeks of the NFL season, the Chiefs will get a total of three primetime games including two “Thursday Night Football” games. They’ll get a short week against the Bills after facing the Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium.
Two of the late-season primetime games come against AFC West opponents, while none of the primetime games are played against NFC opponents. If the Chiefs want a primetime matchup against an NFC opponent they’ll have to make it to Super Bowl LV.
