The 2025 NFL schedule release is near, and the Kansas City Chiefs continue to be at the center of one of Week 1’s most exciting rumors.

A report from the NFL’s annual league meetings first indicated that the Chiefs were being considered for a standalone Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil, which the NFL’s broadcasting partners would then bid for. The game would be held on the Friday following the season opener between the Philadelphia Eagles and an opponent yet to be named.

The game would be broadcast for free on YouTube, not the premium YouTube TV subscription service that hosts the NFL’s Sunday Ticket platform, giving the league a chance to break its previous streaming records. It’d make a ton of sense to have the Chiefs in that game, given that they’ve been one of the NFL’s biggest draws over the past seven seasons.
