Here's our one-stop shop for everything that's coming out about the Kansas City Chiefs schedule reveal for 2024.
The Kansas City Chiefs are just hours away from learning the path they must take to defend their Super Bowl title and aim for a potential three-peat—something no team has ever been able to accomplish in NFL history. It all begins with the reveal of the 2024 regular season schedule.
The league is set to unveil the entire regular season slate from opening night in early September through the final Week 18 battle next winter. The schedule reveal will happen on Wednesday, May 15, and at that point, players, coaches, and fans alike will all get a very real sense of just how daunting the task will be for the Chiefs.
Until the moment that the regular season schedule is revealed, however, we will get bits and pieces through strategically leaked information from the NFL's office to generate hype for the coming season (and the rest of the schedule).
Here's a rundown of all of the leaks as we know them and the schedule so far as it's been unveiled. We'll keep this updated, so make sure and bookmark to return for all the latest news and reports.
