The 2020 season is the Kansas City Chiefs' 51st in the National Football League (NFL), their 61st season overall and their eighth under head coach Andy Reid. The Chiefs, who won Super Bowl LIV the previous season, will attempt to be the first team to repeat as Super Bowl champions since the New England Patriots won Super Bowl XXXVIII and Super Bowl XXXIX, and the eighth team overall to repeat. The Chiefs qualified for the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season, tying a franchise record set from 1990 to 1995 and won the division for the fifth consecutive year. They finished with a best in franchise history and best in the league for the season 14–2 record. In the divisional round, the Chiefs beat the Cleveland Browns 22–17 advancing to their third consecutive AFC Championship appearance. In the AFC Championship, the Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills 38–24, winning the AFC Championship Game and advancing to Super Bowl LV, marking the first time in franchise history where they advanced to the Super Bowl two straight seasons and fourth Super Bowl appearance overall. They will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl.

Season summary
In the offseason, the Chiefs released their longest tenured player in franchise history, punter Dustin Colquitt, who had been with the team since 2005. Colquitt was later signed to the Chiefs practice squad shortly before the playoffs.
On August 17, 2020, the Chiefs announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, their stadium will be filled at about 22% capacity, or about 16,000 fans. Additionally, fans in attendance will be required to wear a face covering when they are not actively eating or drinking. Season tickets were not sold, however, season ticket holders from 2019 that have not cancelled season tickets already, will still have the option to buy season tickets in 2021.[1]
After a 34–20 Week 3 win over the Baltimore Ravens, the Chiefs set a franchise record for consecutive wins including the playoffs with 12.[2] The streak was snapped two weeks later at 13 with a Week 5 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.[3] Following a Week 4 victory over the New England Patriots, the Chiefs became the first team in NFL history to open their season 4–0 in four consecutive seasons.[4] The Chiefs clinched their fifth consecutive AFC West title after defeating the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. The victory also gave the Chiefs their first 12–1 record in franchise history.[5] A Week 16 victory over the Atlanta Falcons gave the Chiefs their franchise record 14th win. It also clinched home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Chiefs finished the season undefeated on the road for the first time in franchise history and with a 14–2 overall record, the best in the NFL during the season.
Following their win in the divisional round of the playoffs against the Browns, Kansas City became the first AFC team ever to host three consecutive conference championship games, and the second team in NFL history to host three consecutive conference championships. The other team was the Philadelphia Eagles from 2002–04, who were also coached by Andy Reid.[6] The win also gave the Chiefs their 3rd consecutive season winning at least one playoff game, after losing 11 of their previous 12 playoff games.
NFL Top 100
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
The Chiefs had six players named to the Top 100. Tight end Travis Kelce is the only player who was ranked higher than the previous season. Defending Super Bowl MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the highest rated Chiefs player on the list at fourth. Mahomes selection of fourth drew criticism from multiple NFL analysts and fans.[7] SB Nation’s Chiefs site Arrowhead Pride said they will no longer report on the Top 100 following Mahomes being selected fourth.[8]

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Despite being played in the Buccaneers home stadium and the Buccaneers being designated as the "home" team, the Super Bowl is still officially considered a neutral site game.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Due to positive COVID-19 tests from Chiefs' practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta'amu and Patriots' quarterback Cam Newton, the NFL announced the game would be postponed to give both teams time to see if any other players had caught the virus. Following all additional tests coming back negative, the NFL announced the game would be played on October 5.[13]
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 The Chiefs' Week 6 game at the Buffalo Bills was moved to from October 15 (Thursday) to October 19 (Monday), due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the Titans' organization that forced the Bills–Titans game during Week 5 to be rescheduled from October 11 to October 13.[14]
