Chiefs' Intriguing Preseason Schedule: Facing Rams and Seahawks Ahead of Regular Season Rematch
The Kansas City Chiefs have an intriguing preseason schedule for the 2026 season, with matchups against the Rams and Seahawks, who they will also face in the regular season. This unusual scheduling quirk has caught the attention of many fans and analysts.
The Chiefs will kick off their preseason by hosting the Rams in Week 1 before traveling to Los Angeles to play them in Week 13 of the regular season. Similarly, they will face the Seahawks in their preseason finale at home before heading to Seattle for a regular-season matchup in Week 7.
It is uncommon for teams to play opponents they will face in the regular season during the preseason, making the Chiefs' schedule stand out. While the preseason games are important for evaluating young players, they are unlikely to reveal much about the team's strategies or game plans for the upcoming season.
Despite the anticipation to see new additions like running back Kenneth Walker and the offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy in action, fans may have to wait until the regular season to get a true glimpse of the Chiefs' potential. The focus of the preseason games will likely be on player evaluation and roster decisions rather than revealing the team's full capabilities.
With playoff aspirations for teams like the Chiefs, Rams, Seahawks, and Buccaneers in 2026, it is expected that starters may see limited playing time in the preseason games. While these matchups are crucial for young players looking to make an impression, they are unlikely to provide any significant insights into the teams' strategies for the upcoming season.
