The Kansas City Chiefs have asked the NFL to make them a fixture of the Christmas Day lineup, The Athletic reported Wednesday.
Much like the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, the Chiefs wish to become a permanent staple on the Dec. 25 holiday.
Kansas City played games on Christmas in 2023 and 2024, with last year’s win at Pittsburgh drawing 24.1 million viewers across Netflix and local CBS stations in the participating markets.
The NFL confirmed earlier this week that three games will be played on Christmas (a Thursday) in 2025, two on Netflix followed by the nightcap on Amazon Prime.
According to The Athletic, the Chiefs are expected to be part of that tripleheader.
The report also identified Kansas City as the “No. 1 franchise in consideration” to face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 5 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
