We took another step in the off-season. Finally, the Kansas City Chiefs’ calendar for 2024 has been released.

The games for Kansas City’s first two weeks had already been announced, and it’s common sense that they will set the tone for how the franchise’s season will unfold.

Against the Baltimore Ravens, KC plays their opening game and also the kickoff of the season.

In Week 2, they face the Cincinnati Bengals. These are two tough opponents that will test the fans’ hearts right at the start of the campaign.

Matchups to keep an eye on

Obviously, the Chiefs’ first two games have great potential to be a spectacle. A rematch of the AFC Championship and a duel with Joe Burrow, the only quarterback who managed to knock Patrick Mahomes out of the playoffs (with the exception of Tom Brady).

In week 7, KC faces the San Francisco 49ers and these two teams together always promise a great game – a replay of the Super Bowl, but worth a lot less.

Kansas City Chiefs v Buffalo Bills is synonymous with rivalry in the NFL. It’s been a memorable duel in recent years and one that often brings emotion to the end.

The last game of the regular season that could be very interesting is against the Houston Texans, who are coming from a different 2023. A team that has rebuilt itself and reinforced during the offseason with big names. Expectations are high.
