KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The Kansas City Chiefs will play on Christmas Day again in 2025.

In an announcement two days prior to the NFL’s schedule release, Amazon Prime Video shared that the Chiefs will host the Denver Broncos on Christmas night.

The game -- which will be played during Week 17 of the NFL season -- will kick off at 7:15 p.m. CT at Arrowhead Stadium.

It’ll be the third consecutive season in which the NFL’s most-frequent primetime team plays on Christmas.

In 2023, Kansas City hosted the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day. Last year, the Chiefs went to Pittsburgh on Christmas afternoon and beat the Steelers to clinch the AFC’s No. 1 seed.
