2025 Chiefs preseason schedule: Everything you need to know

Competitive football is not so far away. While the NFL's regular season is still a few months out, fans can look forward to the preseason schedule to at least provide some very real roster competition and intense effort much sooner than that. In fact, the very first kickoff for the NFL season—at least the preseason—comes at the tail end of July. Training camp will start just before that, but the annual Hall of Fame game will take place on July 31 between the Detroit Lions and L.A. Chargers. The exhibition in Canton will have everyone's attention because it means that their own favorite teams will begin to play soon thereafter. The Chargers and Lions will each play four preseason tilts due to their participation in the Hall of Fame game, but the Kansas City Chiefs and others will play three games apiece. For the Chiefs, their destinations are already known, but the NFL has not yet revealed the times and dates for those games. Fans can count on facing the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1 of the preseason, however,
