The 2026 season will be the Kansas City Chiefs' 57th in the National Football League (NFL), their 67th overall, their tenth under the leadership of general manager Brett Veach and their 14th under head coach Andy Reid. The Chiefs will seek to improve upon their 6–11 record from 2025, make the playoffs after a one-year absence, and reclaim the AFC West title. Because Mike Tomlin stepped down as the Steelers head coach, and the Ravens fired John Harbaugh as their head coach, Andy Reid is now the longest-tenured head coach in the NFL, with his tenure starting in the 2013 season.
