Ahead of Super Bowl LX in California, Sky Sports NFL will feature key stories from the 2025 season as the league returns to screens.
The regular season kicks off on the night of September 4-5 with the reigning champions Philadelphia Eagles taking on the Dallas Cowboys live on Sky Sports NFL.
Will Kansas City answer the challenge?
Last season was a disappointment for the Chiefs under Andy Reid, who failed to complete a historic triumph and lost to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. Despite an inconsistent offensive performance and roster issues, the team demonstrated the ability to win in key moments, relying on Steve Spagnuolo's variable defense. The loss to a technically superior opponent left many questioning the continuation of the era of dominance.
However, even the loss in the finals did not turn the AFC leaders into outsiders. Patrick Mahomes retained his status as an elite quarterback, and Reed remains one of the best tacticians in the league. In the offseason, the club strengthened the offensive line, selecting tackle Josh Simmons in the first round of the draft and securing a contract with Trey Smith, creating competition at the right tackle position.

Mahomes called the Super Bowl 59 loss “the most bitter experience” of his career.
The return of Marquis “Hollywood” Brown from injury in 2024 will bolster the team's offensive options, including prospect Xavier Worthy. However, Rashi Rice will miss the first six games due to a suspension related to a traffic incident in March 2024.
Travis Kelce will continue his career in search of another title, and Chris Jones, Trent McDuffie and Nick Bolton remain the pillars of the defense. Even without a repeat of last year's 15-2 record, the Chiefs remain the season's favorites.
