KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The NFL has released the league’s 2022 schedule, and the Kansas City Chiefs now know when they’ll see their opponents in their quest to another Super Bowl.
With five primetime showdowns in all, Kansas City will have the nation’s eyes first when they play Los Angeles for their home opener on Week 2’s Thursday Night Football.
Several weeks of the Chiefs’ schedule are subject to change due to “flexible scheduling,” which can occur across the league twice between Weeks 5-10 and during Weeks 11-15 and Week 17.
Single-game tickets go on sale on Friday at 8 a.m. for Jackson County residents. Season Ticket Holders can start buying tickets at 10 a.m. Single-game tickets will be available to all fans beginning at 11 a.m.
