After Sunday’s victory over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game, the Kansas City Chiefs are heading to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in the last five years.

Excitement is already building around the forthcoming game in Las Vegas on Feb. 11.

A victory in that championship game would be the Chiefs’ third in five years — and would lead to another Super Bowl parade marching through the streets of Kansas City.

If the Chiefs do win, when would the parade be? And what would be the route?

Official plans for a parade have not been publicly announced. Those decisions are made by the Kansas City Sports Commission, which hasn’t yet shared information.

But here’s what we know based on past Super Bowl parades in Kansas City in recent years.

When would the Super Bowl parade be?

Fans can make some educated guesses by looking at the Chiefs’ past victory parades.

In 2020, following the team’s victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Feb. 2, the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade marched through the city the following Wednesday, on Feb. 5.

In 2023, when the Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Feb. 12, their parade similarly took to the streets on the following Wednesday, Feb. 15.

You might be noticing a pattern: Following their last two Super Bowl wins, the Chiefs paraded through Kansas City on the Wednesday following Super Bowl Sunday.

If they stick to this pattern, the 2024 parade would be held on Wednesday, Feb. 14 — that’s right, on Valentine’s Day.

What would be the parade route?

No official details have been released yet about a potential victory parade route or timing either. However, past parade schedules started around midday — 2020’s parade stepped off at 11:30 a.m., while last year’s began at noon.

The two most recent parades followed the same route through Kansas City: The champions processed down Grand Boulevard from Sixth Street through downtown and the Crossroads until they reached Crown Center.

The parade then turned right onto Pershing Road and concluded in front of Union Station for a rally celebrating the team. Both sides of Grand Boulevard, the Crown Center area and the north lawn of the Liberty Memorial offered viewing opportunities for fans.

We’ll update this story when we learn more about a potential parade date, route and schedule for this year.
