Calling all Chiefs fans.

Chiefs Kingdom, grab your red and gold gear — football season is back. Let’s dive into all things game day before the Chiefs’ first preseason game at home this Saturday, Aug. 17.

On and off the field

Doesn’t last season feel like an eon ago? After our back-to-back Super Bowl wins, the Chiefs offseason was a relatively quiet one — mainly dominated by news of Hallmark’s Travis + Taylor-inspired love story.

On the field, the red and gold may look a little different. Stars like Patrick Mahomes, Chris Jones, and Isiah Pacheco are back in business, but there are plenty of rookies running through the tunnel soon. Here’s who we’re keeping an eye on:

  • Xavier Worthy, wide receiver
  • Kingsley Suamataia, offensive tackle
  • Jared Wiley, tight end

Tune in from home

Watch this weekend’s game on KSHB 41 or stream it on the NFL Network, NFL+, Chiefs.com + the Chiefs mobile app. Locals can also listen to games all season long on KC’s newly-minted sports-only FM radio station, 96.5 The Fan.

Watching in-season games won’t be so simple. Starting Thursday, Sept. 5, Chiefs fans will have to use a variety of streaming services + local channels to catch all 17 games.

Reminder: Thursday Night Football will be streamed exclusively on Prime Video, which you’ll need a Prime membership to watch.

A quick Arrowhead survival guide

Make a list + check it twice before you head to the stadium. Here’s what you’ll need:

All packed? Once you’re on your way, there’s a few things to keep in mind:

  • Parking must be purchased ahead of arrival.
  • Lots open 4.5 hours prior to kickoff — fans will arrive early, so schedule wisely.
  • Check the clear bag policy.
  • Get ready to stand up and be loud for our Super Bowl champions.
