American Football Conference · AFC West · 3 Super Bowls (2023, 2022, 2019)
The Kansas City Chiefs were founded in 1959 in Dallas, Texas, and now play their home games at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The franchise is owned by Clark Hunt, with Brett Veach serving as general manager and Andy Reid as head coach. Steve Spagnuolo coordinates the defense. The Chiefs have been one of the NFL's dominant forces in recent years, winning three Super Bowls in a five-year span (2019, 2022, 2023) and reaching the championship game again in 2024 with a 15–2 record. Their run of success includes ten consecutive playoff appearances from 2015 through 2024, with only one season in that stretch featuring fewer than ten wins. The roster features quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce, defensive tackle Chris Jones, and center Creed Humphrey among its notable players. After a 6–11 campaign in 2025, the team opened 2026 at 1–0.
