The NFL is still putting the spotlight on the Kansas City Chiefs.
Despite questions surrounding Patrick Mahomes and his recovery from injury, the Chiefs are scheduled to play six primetime games during the 2026 season.
Kansas City remains one of the league’s biggest television draws after years of sustained success, multiple Super Bowl appearances, and the star power of Mahomes. The NFL schedule makers appear confident that interest in the Chiefs will remain high, even with uncertainty surrounding the quarterback’s health entering the season.
The Chiefs are expected to appear across the league’s top national windows, including Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, and Thursday Night Football matchups.
