American Football Conference · AFC West · 3 Super Bowls (2023, 2022, 2019)
The Kansas City Chiefs were founded in 1959 in Dallas, Texas, and now play their home games at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The franchise is owned by Clark Hunt, with Brett Veach serving as general manager and Andy Reid as head coach. The Chiefs have established themselves as one of the NFL's premier franchises in recent years. After a 4–12 campaign in 2009, the team built toward sustained excellence, winning Super Bowls following the 2019, 2022, and 2023 seasons. They also reached the Super Bowl after the 2020 and 2024 campaigns. Between 2015 and 2024, Kansas City made the playoffs in ten consecutive seasons, posting double-digit wins in nine of those years—including a 15–2 record in 2024. The current roster features quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce, defensive tackle Chris Jones, center Creed Humphrey, and guard Trey Smith, among others. The 2025 season has seen a significant step back, with the team posting a 6–11 record.
