Chiefs to host Broncos on Christmas Day
The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Denver Broncos on Christmas Day, the league announced Monday.
The 8:15 p.m. ET holiday game will be aired on Prime Video.
Kansas City has dominated the AFC West, winning nine consecutive division titles from 2016 through 2024. The Chiefs will attempt to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl after accomplishing the feat in each of the past three seasons. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Chris Jones will once again lead the way for the Chiefs in 2025.
The Broncos aim to continue the club's upward trajectory from last season. Denver posted a 10-7 record and appeared in the playoffs for the first time since winning Super Bowl 50 during its 2015 campaign.
Bo Nix will guide the Broncos' offense in his second year under head coach Sean Payton.
The two division rivals split their season series in 2024 with one win apiece. The Chiefs bested the Broncos 16-14 in the first meeting, with the Broncos dominating the rematch by a 38-0 score in the final week of the campaign.
The Chiefs will take part in their third consecutive Christmas Day game. Kansas City has become a fixture in the holiday contest, having played six games on Christmas.
The Broncos-Chiefs contest will be part of a Christmas Day tripleheader, with the first two games airing on Netflix.
