What Time Is Lions Vs. Chiefs? Here’s How To Watch

“Sunday Night Football” is in Kansas City this weekend as the Lions vs. Chiefs play at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

Kickoff on Sunday is set for 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC, featuring play by play caller Mike Tirico, analyst Cris Collinsworth, sideline reporter Melissa Stark and rules analyst Terry McAulay.

Kansas City has a 9-6 all-time record against the Lions. The most recent matchup came on Sept. 7, 2023 when Detroit beat Kansas City, 21-20, in the NFL season-opener.

Despite having a 2-3 record heading into Week 6, the Chiefs are 2.5-point favorites at home against the Lions, according to FanDuel Sportsbook betting odds. Detroit holds a 4-1 mark this season and is in first place in the NFC North following four consecutive wins. The team lost to the Green Bay Packers, 27-13, in its season-opener on Sept. 7.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff, who is the No. 20 highest-paid athlete in the world per Forbes, has completed 109 of 145 passes for 1,187 yards during the 2025 regular season, making him the league leader in completion percentage (75.2%). The 30-year-old has thrown 12 touchdowns and two interceptions.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has completed almost 64% of his throws and has passed for 1,257 yards. He has eight touchdowns through the air and two interceptions.

Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce, who Forbes estimates has a net worth of $70 million, has 22 catches for 243 yards and two touchdowns in the 2025 campaign.

Kelce and the NFL have benefitted from the 35-year-old’s relationship with music icon Taylor Swift, who recently released her new album “The Life of a Showgirl” and set a record for first-week album units. The NFL boasts an average per game viewership of 18.58 million through Week 5 of the current regular season — that’s the highest mark since 2010. Compared to 2024, average per game viewership is up 8% year-over-year.
