9 games will be against a playoff team from last season, including both participants in Super Bowl LX: the Patriots and the Seahawks. That was also the case in 2022, when Kansas City took on both the Bengals and the Rams after those two teams faced off in Super Bowl LVI.
Outside of division matchups, the Chiefs will have just two rematches:
- The Bills in Buffalo, although this time, it will be at New Highmark Stadium. Last year, Kansas City lost 28-21 in a Week 9 bout in Orchard Park.
- The Colts at Arrowhead Stadium is the same situation as last year’s matchup that ended in a 23-20 overtime victory for the Chiefs in Week 12.
Before knowing the order and times of Kansas City’s 2026 matchups with these opponents, FanDuel Sportsbook has the Chiefs’ over/under line for regular-season victories at 10.5 wins. The only AFC team with a higher line currently is the Baltimore Ravens, who have the over/under set at 11.5 wins, tied with the Rams for the highest line set by FanDuel.
Kansas City is tied for the second-highest line among all NFL teams, along with the Bills, 49ers, Seahawks, Philadelphia Eagles, and Detroit Lions.
