The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for a blockbuster Week 2 clash in what will be a rematch of Super Bowl LIX — but surprisingly, the showdown won’t be under the bright lights of a prime-time slot. Instead, this much-anticipated matchup will unfold in the late afternoon on FOX, despite featuring two of the NFL ’s most electric quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. While the rematch might not get the solo spotlight, the Chiefs will be hard to miss this season, with at least eight stand-alone games lined up as the NFL doubles down on their star-studded appeal.
Eagles to face Chiefs at Arrowhead in high-stakes Week 2 Super Bowl rematch showdown
That marquee showdown is set for Week 2 at Arrowhead Stadium, with FOX broadcasting the late-afternoon kickoff on September 14 at 3:25 p.m. CST. The matchup comes just months after the Eagles dismantled the Chiefs 40-22 in a dominant Super Bowl performance in New Orleans. Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley will return to Kansas City, looking to replicate their title-winning effort in one of the season’s most hyped games — even if it’s not under the prime-time lights.
While that particular clash may not be a stand-alone feature, there’s no shortage of spotlight games for either team. The Chiefs, for one, are heading to Brazil for the league’s second-ever international game in South America. They'll face off against the Los Angeles Chargers on September 5 at São Paulo’s Corinthians Stadium, just a day after the Eagles raise their championship banner in their season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
The schedule has other intriguing storylines too. The Chiefs will travel to Dallas for a Thanksgiving Day matchup and host the Denver Broncos on Christmas night. On the flip side, the Cowboys, featuring Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons, will play on both holidays as well. In fact, they'll become the first team in NFL history to play four Thursday games in a single season, including a Week 14 faceoff against the Detroit Lions.
Sunday and Monday nights will also be busy for Kansas City. The Chiefs are scheduled for three Sunday Night Football appearances — against the Giants in Week 3, hosting the Lions on October 12, and facing the Texans on December 7. Additionally, Mahomes will lead his squad in two Monday Night Football matchups in October: at Jacksonville on the 6th, and back home against Washington on the 27th.
Their AFC Championship rematch against the Buffalo Bills will be staged in Buffalo on November 2, a highly anticipated test for both franchises. Meanwhile, the Eagles’ NFC Championship rematch with Washington is booked for December 20 in D.C., with another encounter lined up two weeks later in Week 18.
As the new season unfolds, all eyes will be on how the Chiefs bounce back from their Super Bowl disappointment. The journey begins not under the prime-time spotlight against Philadelphia, but with the weight of redemption — and a loaded schedule — resting firmly on their shoulders.
