The Kansas City Chiefs are a professional American football team. Based in Kansas City, Missouri, the Chiefs are a member of the American Football Conference (AFC) West division in the National Football League (NFL).
The Chiefs were established in 1960 as Dallas Texans by businessman Lamar Hunt and was a member of the American Football League (AFL). The team was moved to Kansas City, Missouri in 1963 and renamed the Chiefs. The Chiefs joined the NFL as part of the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.
Chiefs Stadium
The Chiefs play their home games at Arrowhead Stadium based in Kansas City. The stadium has been the home of the Chiefs since its opening in 1972.
Before, the Chiefs played at Municipal Stadium after moving to Kansas City in 1963 and continued playing there until 1971. Likewise, the Cotton Bowl was the home stadium of the Chiefs when they used to play in Dallas as the Dallas Texans.
Championship Wins
The Kansas City Chiefs have won championships in both pre-Super Bowl and Super Bowl era. Their first championship came in 1962 when they were still the Dallas Texans.
After they became the Kansas City Chiefs, they won their first championship, the AFL championship in 1966. They won their third championship before the Super Bowl in 1969.
Their first Super Bowl victory came in Super Bowl IV in January 1970, when they defeated the Minnesota Vikings with a score of 23-7. It was the last Super Bowl before the NFL and AFL were merged.
The Chiefs couldn’t win the Vince Lombardi Trophy for 50 years after their first win. They ended the trophy drought in 2019, in the Super Bowl LVII defeating the San Francisco 49ers 31-20.
Their third Super Bowl victory came just three seasons later, in Super Bowl LVII in the 2022 season when they beat the Philadelphia Eagles. The Chiefs again defeated the 49ers in the Super Bowl LVIII to clinch their third Vince Lombardi trophy in five years.
