The 2025 season was the Kansas City Chiefs' 56th in the National Football League (NFL), their 66th overall, their ninth under the leadership of general manager Brett Veach and their 13th under head coach Andy Reid. The Chiefs entered the season as three-time defending AFC champions and hoped to reach their fourth consecutive Super Bowl and avenge their third Super Bowl loss in franchise history against the Philadelphia Eagles the previous season. However, the season became a major disappointment, marred by injuries and close losses. The Chiefs failed to win the AFC West for the first time since 2015, missed the playoffs for the first time since 2014 and finished with a losing record for the first time since 2012.

The Chiefs failed to improve on their franchise-best 15–2 record from 2024 as they started 0–2 for the first time since 2014. The team only won consecutive games in Weeks 3–4 and Weeks 6–8, the first time under Reid they did not win at least four straight regular season games. Although they managed a decent 5–3 start entering their Week 9 matchup at the Buffalo Bills, holding onto a wild card spot, the Chiefs proceeded to lose all but one game the rest of the season from Week 9 onwards. To add insult to injury, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a season-ending ACL tear late in the team's Week 15 game, a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers that eliminated the Chiefs from playoff contention. Backup quarterback Gardner Minshew injured his knee the following game, and the team started third-string quarterback Chris Oladokun in the final two games. All but one of the Chiefs' wins were by multiple possessions, but they lost nine of their games by one possession. The Chiefs went 5–4 at home but 1–7 on the road, which ultimately cost them a trip to the postseason. Also for the first time since 2012, the Chiefs failed to sweep either the Broncos, Raiders, or Chargers. And were instead Swept by The Chargers and Broncos for the first time since 2013 and 2014 respectively.

The Chiefs' Thanksgiving game against the Dallas Cowboys had a regular season record of 57.2 million viewers. The game was broadcast on CBS and streaming service Paramount+, and peaked with 61.4 million viewers by the game's conclusion.[1]

The Kansas City Chiefs drew an average home attendance of 73,512, the 6th-highest of all NFL teams.[2]
