A dynasty reborn in Kansas City.

The Kansas City Chiefs are a professional American football team based in Kansas City, Missouri. The Chiefs compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the American Football Conference (AFC) West division. The team plays its home games at Arrowhead Stadium.

Lore & Background

Established in 1959 as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL), the Chiefs started playing in 1960 as the Dallas Texans, owned by league founder Lamar Hunt. In 1963, the team moved to Kansas City, and adopted its current name. The Chiefs joined the NFL in 1970 as a result of the AFL–NFL merger. After Hunt's death in 2006, his wife, Norma, and children became legal owners of the team. After Norma's death in 2023, the Hunt children inherited her stake. Clark Hunt has served as chairman and CEO since 2006. The Chiefs won three AFL championships (1962, 1966, 1969) and Super Bowl IV. They lost eight consecutive playoff games from 1993 to 2017, including an eight-game losing streak. Since then, they have appeared in four Super Bowls (LIV, LV, LVII, LVIII), winning three: LIV, LVII, and LVIII.
