Chiefs' 2024 schedule includes game on every day of week except Tuesday
The Kansas City Chiefs' 2024 schedule will require fans to be flexible to follow their team's quest for a historic Super Bowl three-peat.
In a reflection of the NFL's ever-expanding push into new broadcast windows, the Chiefs will play on every day of the week except for Tuesday. The 1927 New York Yankees, who played on every day but Monday, are the only other team in league history to match the feat.
The defending champions' slate will begin on a Thursday with the Sept. 5 season opener against the Baltimore Ravens. The team will be on "Monday Night Football" twice: in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints and Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Chiefs will also host the AFC West-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Black Friday in the league's second foray into the post-Thanksgiving slot with Amazon Prime Video.
And with Christmas falling on a Wednesday this year, Kansas City was selected to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road as part of a holiday doubleheader on Netflix. To facilitate the midweek matchup, the NFL scheduled the Chiefs to host the Houston Texans the previous Saturday.
Sunday, of course, is the staple of the team's schedule, with the remaining games being held that day. The team will appear twice on "Sunday Night Football," first against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2 and again vs. the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14.
