The game in Sao Paulo will be played in Week 1 on Friday, Sept. 5. This will mark the second time the NFL has put a game in Brazil. The first game came last year when the Eagles beat the Packers in their season opener that started Philadelphia's Super Bowl season.

The Kansas City Chiefs are leaving no stone unturned in their quest to arm Patrick Mahomes with elite playmakers. Andy Reid and his staff have scheduled a visit with a dynamic young wide receiver who boasts game-changing speed and big-play potential.

Games that feature the Chiefs are typically among the most highly rated of the season, and that is unlikely to change soon with Patrick Mahomes still in his prime.

Christmas Day playing time is at the top of the Chiefs’ holiday wishlist. Kansas City wants to be a staple in the NFL’s Dec. 25 slate moving forward and has requested such to the league, The Athletic reported Wednesday, with the Chiefs “expected to be one of the teams to play” on the holiday later this year.

The Chiefs appear likely to get their wish in 2025 and are expected to play on Christmas Day. The NFL will host three games that day. The first two will reportedly air on Netflix. The third game will reportedly be broadcast on Amazon Prime as part of its "Thursday Night Football" package. Christmas Day falls on a Thursday in 2025.

It's a possibility, according to a Wednesday morning report from Daniel Popper and Nate Taylor of The Athletic. Per Popper and Taylor, "when it comes to domestic standalone games, the Chiefs have requested that the NFL make them a fixture on Christmas Day, according to a league source."

The Kansas City Chiefs have made a request to the NFL that the franchise become a fixture on Christmas Day moving forward.

For the first time since 2022, the NFL won’t start the season with a Chiefs game. The Chiefs had played in the NFL Kickoff Game in the previous two years because they were the defending Super Bowl champions. However, the Chiefs could play in the second game of the 2025 season.
