Chiefs primetime games: Kansas City draws 7 for 2025 NFL season
The Kansas City Chiefs have won three consecutive AFC titles and two of the last three Super Bowls. As such, it's no surprise the NFL wanted to put a frequent, primetime spotlight on the team.
The Chiefs are set to play seven primetime games in 2025. That will include marquee matchups on Christmas night and a Friday evening game in Week 1.
The Chiefs won all of their regular-season primetime games in 2024. Will they be able to carry over that success to 2025? It seems likely, given that Patrick Mahomes has posted a 26-10 record in regular-season primetime games throughout his career.
Mahomes has 78 passing touchdowns compared to 25 interceptions and a passer rating of 99 across his 36 career regular-season primetime games. His playmaking skill set should allow the Chiefs to be competitive in their stand-alone spots in 2025.
Here's what to know about Kansas City's primetime schedule for 2025.
