The 2026 NFL schedule is finally out. Before today, we knew the “Who” and “Where,” but now we finally know the “When.” They’ll open the season against the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead and play on Thanksgiving yet again. The Chiefs are projected to appear in six primetime games, which include three matchups on NBC, two on ESPN/ABC, and one on Amazon Prime. What does the entire schedule look like, and how will the Chiefs fare in each game?

With the 249th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs selected… Garrett Nussmeier, quarterback from LSU. In what has been a somewhat polarizing draft class for Kansas City, this selection was among the more controversial ones. Two distinct camps have since emerged. One side believes it's a waste to spend a draft pick on a player who will ideally never see meaningful action. The other side sees the value in securing a cost-controlled, capable backup quarterback.
