NFL Legend Jason Kelce Announces Travis Kelce, Chiefs Decision

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Chris Phelps | Last updated Oct 16, 2026 5:52 PM ET

Jason Kelce will be in attendance in Week 6 as Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs host Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Chiefs will look to continue their perfect 4-0 start and have had a week off since their last game, taking down Kirk Cousins and the Las Vegas Raiders 30-27 in Week 4.

Jason Kelce became one of the best offensive linemen the NFL has ever seen during his time with the Philadelphia Eagles from 2011 to 2023. The center not only helped the Eagles win Super Bowl LII, but also became a six-time first-team All-Pro as well. Shortly after his retirement from the NFL after the 2023 season, Jason Kelce stayed close to football, joining ESPN as an analyst for the pregame show “Monday Night Countdown.”

And toward the tail-end of his playing career, Jason Kelce also started a podcast with Travis Kelce called “New Heights,” which is still going strong to this day.

In 2025, New Heights even held its first-ever tailgate at the KC Live! Block ahead of the Chiefs’ home opener against the Eagles, a game where Jason Kelce’s Eagles stole a 20-17 win over his brother. And for Sunday’s matchup between Kansas City and Los Angeles, Jason Kelce and New Heights will be back at Arrowhead Stadium.

The podcast, partnered with Nike, will be hosting its second tailgate in Lot M of the Truman Sports Complex in Kansas City ahead of the Chiefs’ matchup against the Chargers. And Jason Kelce will be in attendance for the event once again, but Travis Kelce, who will be playing for the Chiefs, will not make it as he prepares for the game.

“I will be there,” Jason Kelce said on his podcast. “Travis will also be there, but he will be getting ready to play a football game, so he will not be at the tailgate.”

The tailgate will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. local time, with Jason Kelce hosting a meet-and-greet with fans from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. local time. Fans in attendance will be offered free food, including Tyson “Chiefs Nuggets,” games, merchandise and a DJ. The event will also be free to New Heights listeners.

Travis Kelce and the Chiefs will face the Chargers at 4:25 p.m. ET.
