The Kansas City Chiefs’ schedule for the 2021 NFL regular season has officially been revealed.
For the third consecutive year, the Chiefs will have five appearances in prime time, with a whopping three games “Sunday Night Football.” The team has a few tough stretches as well, including a late season three-game stretch where they’ll face AFC West opponents.
It’s the first year of the NFL switching to a 17-game format, which means the season will total 18 weeks including the bye. You can find the Chiefs’ schedule, Weeks 1-18, below in gallery format:

| On
| Date | Game | Time ((ET) | TV Info |
| Saturday, Aug. 13 | @ Bears | 1:00 PM | KSHB |
- QB — Patrick Mahomes
- RB — Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Ronald Jones, Derrick Gore
- WR — Mecole Hardman, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Josh Gordon, Skyy Moore
- TE — Travis Kelce, Blake Bell
Kansas City’s shocking trade of Tyreek Hill creates somewhat of an issue at wide receiver for Mahomes and Co. Whilethey did sign Valdes-Scantling and Smith-Schuster, it’s a huge hole for the Chiefs to fill given Hill’s success sin the past.
This is still a very strong offense with the Kelce-Mahomes connection. However, the Chiefs will now likely be relying on more on their defense in the past. That’s especially true in an AFC West with the likes of Russell Wilson, Justin Herbert and Derek Carr.

WATCH: Sportsnaut’s Carolyn Manno on the latest NFL rumors
The No. 3 AFC seed Bills will travel to Kansas City to face the No. 2 Chiefs in the final divisional round playoff game of the weekend.
The Bills are coming off a historical 47-17 win over the Patriots, in which they became the first team in NFL history to go the entire game without punting the ball, kicking a field goal or having a turnover (along with many other records). Josh Allen threw for 308 yards and five touchdowns. The Chiefs are also coming off a dominant 42-21 win over the Steelers. Patrick Mahomes threw for 404 yards and five touchdowns during the game.
The Bills beat the Chiefs 38-20 in their matchup this season. At the time, the Chiefs were 2-2 after that game. Since then, they've went 11-2. The two teams faced each other in last year's AFC Championship game, which the Chiefs won 38-24 to send them to their second consecutive Super Bowl. They are trying to make history and make their third in a row this season.
These are two hot teams right now, so the matchup is expected to be close. The Chiefs are only 1.5-point favorites, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
