For the second straight year, the Chiefs will open the NFL season inside Arrowhead Stadium with a playoff rematch.

The Chiefs will play host to the Cleveland Browns in Week 1 of the 2021 season. The game is scheduled for 3:25 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 12 and will be broadcast by CBS.

The NFL announced the slate of Week 1 matchups early Wednesday. The remainder of the schedule will be announced Wednesday night.

The Chiefs defeated the Browns 22-17 in the AFC Divisional Round last January on their way to a second straight Super Bowl appearance. Patrick Mahomes left that game with an injury before returning in the AFC Championship Game a week later. Including that postseason meeting, the Chiefs have won their last four matchups with the Browns.

The Chiefs have won six straight and seven of eight regular-season openers under Andy Reid.

The Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers will open the NFL season on Thursday, Sept. 9 against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Chicago Bears will visit the Los Angeles Rams for the opening Sunday Night Football game, and the Baltimore Ravens will make a trip to the Las Vegas Raiders for the initial Monday Night Football contest.
