2026 Kansas City Chiefs Season Schedule

ByShaikat Kumar

The Kansas City Chiefs endured a disappointing 6-11 season in 2025, marked by inconsistency and missed opportunities despite flashes of competitiveness. Kansas City showed early promise with wins over the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, and a dominant shutout of the Las Vegas Raiders, but struggled to sustain momentum, especially in close games. Within the AFC West, the Chiefs went 1-5, splitting with the Raiders but getting swept by both the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, a major factor in missing the playoffs. Against the conference, narrow losses to contenders like the Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Houston Texans highlighted their inability to close out big moments, while late-season struggles, including losses to the Tennessee Titans and Broncos, sealed their fate. Most Chiefs games aired on CBS and FOX, with multiple primetime appearances on NBC, ESPN/ABC, NFL Network, and Prime Video, ensuring strong national coverage for fans. Heading into 2026, Kansas City faces a critical reset; improving divisional performance and late-game execution will be key, and if they can regain consistency, especially at home, they have the potential to rebound quickly and re-enter the AFC playoff picture.
