The NFL announced the regular season schedule for the 2024 season on Wednesday, and the Kansas City Chiefs are slated to play on every day of the week except Tuesday. They'll also play five primetime games.
The reigning back-to-back Super Bowl Champions will kick off the 2024 season and hang their Super Bowl 58 banner on the NFL’s Kickoff night against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Sept. 5 for a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship Game.
This year’s regular season schedule features nine games vs. opponents with winning records in 2023 and seven games vs. opponents who made the 2023 playoffs.
Following the NFL’s opening game, the Chiefs will host the Cincinnati Bengals in the second of two home games to open the 2024 season. The club then hits the road for two games, first in Atlanta for NBC’s Sunday Night Football and then to Los Angeles to face the Chargers in Week 4.
The Chiefs then return home to play the New Orleans Saints for the first of two Monday Night Football games. The Chiefs will enjoy their Bye Week during Week 6 and then return to action Week 7 in San Francisco for a Super Bowl LVIII rematch.
The Chiefs will come home to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium for a two-game stretch against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on ESPN’s Monday Night Football on Nov. 4 then the Denver Broncos at noon on Nov. 10.
Week 11 is an AFC Divisional Round Game rematch in Buffalo, as the Chiefs take on the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 17. The Chiefs will then face the Carolina Panthers on the road on Nov. 24. Kansas City will then play on Black Friday for the first time ever, taking on their AFC West rival, the Las Vegas Raiders, at 2 p.m. on Amazon Prime Video.
Week 14 will close out the Chiefs' slated primetime matchups with Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs then head to Cleveland to face the Browns on Dec. 15 before taking on the defending AFC South champions, the Houston Texans, in Week 16 on Saturday, Dec. 21.
The Chiefs will play in the first-ever Wednesday NFL game on Christmas Day against the Pittsburgh Steelers at 12 p.m. on Netflix. The Chiefs will close out the regular season by taking on the Broncos in Denver. The date and time are to be determined.
The NFL also released the Chiefs preseason schedule. Kansas City will hit the road to face the Jacksonville Jaguars for Week 1 of the preseason. The final two preseason games will be played at Arrowhead Stadium, first against the Detroit Lions and the second against the Chicago Bears.
Chiefs single-game tickets go on sale, beginning at 8 a.m. Thursday for Jackson County taxpayers, 10 a.m. for Chiefs Season Ticket Members and 11 a.m. for the public.
