NFL 2024 Schedule: Kansas City Chiefs Fixture List, Pre-Season Match-Ups Opponents, Rivalries, Ticket Details, and More Released

The Kansas City Chiefs didn’t just drop their 2024 schedule – they flat-out crushed it. In a side-splitting video shared across their social channels, the defending champs unleashed a hydraulic press to pulverize objects symbolizing each of their opponents.

But behind the viral hilarity lies a schedule primed to separate the contenders from the pretenders. Five primetime showdowns, including a Week 1 rematch against Baltimore, ensure America’s eyes will be glued to Arrowhead. Patrick Mahomes and the squad are gearing up for another electrifying season with a record that boasts strong performances against nearly every team, including a notable 3-1 against the Ravens. The full fixture list is out, and fans are already marking their calendars for the must-see games.

Chiefs’ hilarious schedule reveal hints at rivalry frenzy

In a move with fans howling, the Chiefs unveiled their 2024 schedule by literally “crushing” it. Their viral video depicted a hydraulic press demolishing objects representing each opponent – an Old Bay packet for the Ravens, mystery item for the Raiders. “In honor of crushing it last season, we’re revealing our 2024 schedule by…well, you know,” the caption read.

But the humor belied the intense rivalries awaiting KC. Per the team’s stats, Patrick Mahomes owns a 12-1 record against the Broncos and 10-2 versus the Raiders, setting up some serious AFC West bad blood. Meanwhile, a Week 1 rematch with Baltimore evokes memories of January’s nail-biting 17-10 win that sent the Chiefs to the Super Bowl.

The slate is a veritable gantlet of foes bent on derailing the champions’ three-peat bid. Cincy’s Joe Burrow, undefeated in 3 regular season matchups, will be licking his chops. An early bye gifts KC extra prep for a daunting December span of 4 games in 18 days against squads like the 49ers, who crave vengeance after their Super Bowl LVIII loss.

PRESEASON SCHEDULE

Speaking of vengeance, that dramatic schedule release hints at fireworks when the Bucs visit Arrowhead. Fans still seethe over Tampa holding Mahomes scoreless in that 2020 Super Bowl humbling. With stakes this high, readying for war just got hysterical.

Primetime showdowns and unconventional challenges on road to repeat for Kansas City Chiefs

While the schedule reveal video provided laughs, the slate itself is no joke. Five massive primetime clashes, including that Ravens rematch on Kickoff night (Sept 5th, 7:20 pm CT), will have all eyes on Arrowhead as Mahomes and Co. chase history. But beyond the bright lights, quirky hurdles await – the Chiefs will suit up every day except Tuesday in this bizarro campaign.

The grind crescendoes in December with a soul-crushing four-game stretch all crammed in just 18 days. Not only does Kansas City have to square off against playoff-caliber foes including the 49ers on Dec. 20 and the Bills on Nov. 17, but the Chiefs then have to find a way past the “Grinch” as they try to prep for a Christmas Day tilt in Pittsburgh.

The truth of the matter is that the drama begins well before old Saint Nick shows up. Fans have already been amazed at September’s grand opening at home against Baltimore. The ticket office would possibly be flooded by the Jackson County hardcore, duking it out for the ideal opportunity to groove on with the seventh of September, 7:20 CT kick-off to coat Arrowhead in red.

The sale of individual game tickets for the Chiefs will commence at 8 a.m. today for Jackson County taxpayers, at 10 a.m. for Chiefs Season Ticket Members, and at 11 a.m. for the general public. The presale for Jackson County taxpayers will be conducted exclusively online and buyers are required to utilize a credit card with a billing zip code within Jackson County for participation. Availability of single-game tickets is contingent upon dynamic pricing and will be accessible solely through mobile entry.

But if powering through that theatrical schedule earns the Chiefs an encore Super Bowl berth, it’ll be must-see TV all over again. After witnessing their hilarious schedule demolition, bettors would be unwise to “crush” KC’s three-peat dreams just yet.
