Founded by American sports pioneer Lamar Hunt as a charter franchise of the American Football League in 1960 as the Dallas Texans, the team relocated to Kansas City in 1963 and became known as the Chiefs. Under the leadership of the Hunt family, the club has reached professional football’s ultimate summit four times, earning victories in Super Bowl IV (1969 season), Super Bowl LIV (2019 season), Super Bowl LVII (2022 season) and Super Bowl LVIII (2023 season). Back-to-back titles following the 2022 and 2023 seasons puts the Chiefs in elite company, marking just the ninth time in NFL history that a franchise repeated as world champions. As one of the most successful franchises of the past dozen years, Kansas City owns the most regular season wins (128) and has the most playoff appearances (10) of all NFL teams since Head Coach Andy Reid joined the club in 2013. Off the field, the Chiefs proudly boast five Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award recipients, tying for the most among any franchise in the league, highlighting the club’s commitment to the community. GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the Chiefs, is one of the most iconic venues in all of professional sports.
