The National Football League unveiled the 2021 regular season schedule in a way that only the NFL can do—with all manner of pomp and circumstance on primetime, making a major event out of anything they can. For fans who are interested, it was a way to get excited about the specific matchups that await their favorite teams in 2021, even though the opponents themselves have been known for quite some time.

This means the fans of the K.C. Chiefs now know when and where to expect specific matchups, which means the ticket office is going to light up and travel plans can be made. Get your tailgate gear ordered and your menu planning started because the schedule is officially out there.

If you want to be there for a home opener, then you’ll be seeing them take on one of the most exciting young contending teams in the AFC in the Cleveland Browns. If you want to see the Chiefs potentially wallop an opponent in primetime on Monday Night Football, then you might want to get tickets to Week 8 against the New York Giants. If you want to catch Aaron Rodgers (we think), then Week 9 is your ticket.

The Chiefs are in primetime a full five times in 2021, tied for the most of any team.
