Feb 28, 2022

The NFL officially announced all of the home teams for their five international games in 2022. - The New Orleans Saints, Jacksonville Jaguars and Green Bay Packers will play home games in London, England. The Tampa Buccaneers will play a home game in Munich, Germany. The Arizona Cardinals will play a home game in Mexico City, Mexico. - While opponents haven’t been announced for these games yet, the Kansas City Chiefs have been linked to the game played in Munich. Not only were they awarded NFL international marketing right for Germany, but the team has a bit of a partnership with FC Bayern, who will play host to the game in Munich. There’s also, of course, the appeal of a Super Bowl rematch being playing in the first-ever regular-season game in Germany. - Kansas City also makes sense as opponents in another international game. The team was also awarded international marketing rights for Mexico along with Arizona and seven other NFL teams. They could very well be the Cardinals’ opponent in Mexico City in 2022, as the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams are the only other teams playing Arizona at home with marketing rights in Mexico. - The Chiefs last played internationally in 2019, facing the Los Angeles Chargers at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca. K.C. won that game 24-17 ahead of their run to become champions in Super Bowl LIV. - It seems like the Chiefs could just as easily be the road opponents against the Cards in the upcoming Mexico City game as they could be the road opponents against the Bucs in Germany. If K.C. plays in Mexico City in 2022, look for them to potentially be the home team in the next game played in Munich in 2024. - - List - - Chiefs 2021 rookie season review: C Creed Humphrey - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
