The Kansas City Chiefs schedule is set to be revealed on Wednesday night by the NFL, and Andy Reid and company are expected to participate in several primetime games.
It is schedule reveal day in the NFL, a league that has mastered the art of making a major event out of every possible moment of the year. The fan bases for all 32 NFL teams will find out their official regular season schedule tonight via a two-hour reveal and analysis on NFL Network, with plenty of leaks to come well before then.
Each team has known their 2019 regular season opponents for quite some time, but a big part of the schedule is not just about who but when and where. Travel times and the scheduling of a bye week can help or hurt a team significantly as they deal with injury concerns and fatigue down the stretch. The rigors of a full season (and even more) are notable.
A full look at this year’s schedule reveals plenty more primetime opportunities for the Kansas City Chiefs. The team will be featured on Sunday Night Football on three separate occasions and once more on Monday Night Football. There’s a real hunger to see Patrick Mahomes in primetime as the league’s reigning MVP, and it helps the Chiefs are a Super Bowl contender—or at least they’re expected to be.
Home opponents for the Chiefs this season are:
- Baltimore Ravens
- Denver Broncos
- Green Bay Packers
- Houston Texans
- Indianapolis Colts
- Los Angeles Chargers
- Minnesota Vikings
- Oakland Raiders
Meanwhile, the Chiefs will travel to face the following teams:
- Chicago Bears

- Detroit Lions
- Jacksonville Jaguars
- Los Angeles Chargers
- New England Patriots
- Oakland Raiders
- Tennessee Titans
