The Raiders and Chiefs meet in Week 4 with both teams off to winning starts and both looking to keep the momentum going in the AFC West race. Las Vegas hosts Kansas City on Sunday, Oct. 4, with kickoff set for 4:25 p.m. ET at Allegiant Stadium.
The matchup comes after each team opened the season with a victory. The Raiders beat the Dolphins 27-13 in Week 1, while the Chiefs took down the Broncos 31-10 on Monday night. Both clubs missed the playoffs in 2025, so this early division game carries plenty of weight as they try to get back into the mix.
Tickets for Raiders vs. Chiefs currently start at $265. Lower level seats are listed at $350, and club seats are available for $675.
Las Vegas will get a tough stretch right away after this one. The Raiders’ schedule includes games against the Bills, Rams, Seahawks and Broncos, plus a bye in Week 13. Kansas City, meanwhile, has a Week 5 bye after the trip to Las Vegas and later faces a run that includes the Chargers, Seahawks, Bills, Bengals, 49ers and a pair of games with the Raiders.

NFL Sends Chiefs Fans A Clear Message On That Mahomes Hit
The NFLs latest review gave Chiefs fans a familiar kind of frustration, as the league looked at the hit Denver edge rusher Nik Bonitto landed on Patrick Mahomes and decided no fine was coming. Mahomes had just let go of a short throw when he was contacted around the head and neck area, the sort of play that usually draws immediate attention in a league that has spent years trying to protect quarterbacks.
Instead, the league determined the contact was legal, leaving Kansas City with more questions than relief about how that sequence was handled. The postgame discipline elsewhere from the game did come down on Chiefs guard Trey Smith and Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton, who were both fined for separate violations, but the Mahomes hit itself was left untouched.

NBC Is Leaning Into Chiefs Hate Before Sunday Night
NBC Sports is taking a lighthearted swing at one of the NFLs easiest lightning rods before Sunday nights Chiefs-Colts matchup, rolling out a promotional video centered on the way Kansas City draws attention well beyond the field. The clip features comedian Nikki Glaser talking through the Chiefs recent run and the reaction they tend to get from the rest of the football world, with Taylor Swift part of the conversation given her marriage to Travis Kelce.
Glaser appears in a Chiefs jersey with Taylors husband on the back, while Swifts Ready for It? plays underneath, turning the spot into a blend of football, pop culture and the sort of outside-the-lines teasing Kansas City has learned to live with. It is less a game preview than a reminder that the Chiefs have become one of the leagues most watched and most reacted-to teams, which is exactly the kind of backdrop NBC seems eager to lean into for prime time.

Patrick Mahomes Had Chiefs Fans Doing A Double Take Before Kickoff
A pregame video clip of Patrick Mahomes briefly sent Chiefs fans into a frenzy before kickoff, with the small bottle in his hand sparking a wave of confusion online. It did not take long for the moment to turn from eyebrow-raiser to reminder that Kansas Citys game-day routine includes a few things most teams would not put on camera.
The liquid turned out to be pickle juice, a hydration method the Chiefs have used for years as part of their effort to help prevent cramps. For a fan base that has seen just about everything from Mahomes, it was still enough to cause a double take, even if the explanation was a lot more ordinary than the reaction. [Read more 🡒]
