The 2025 NFL season got off to a scintillating start with the Philadelphia Eagles taking on their divisional rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, at home. But their opponent from Super Bowl 59, the Kansas City Chiefs, is next on the ballot, with a divisional game on schedule for them as well when they take on the Los Angeles Chargers in a special Friday Night game emanating from São Paulo, Brazil.
With the Chiefs entering the season for the first time in two years without the crown of defending champions on their head, and the AFC West looking more competitive than it has ever looked in the Patrick Mahomes era, the matchup promises to be an exciting one with major consequences, despite taking place in the first week of the year.
Here’s how the fan bases in Kansas City and Los Angeles can listen to the live radio feed of the game.

The Chargers, who are technically being billed as the home team in this international game, will have the trio of Matt “Money” Smith, analyst Daniel Jeremiah, and sideline reporter Shannon Farren taking care of the radio stream.
On the other hand, the away team will have Mitch Holtus as the play-by-play announcer, while Danan Hughes provides color analysis, and Josh Klingler assumes the role of sideline reporter.
After making the playoffs for just the second time in Justin Herbert’s career with the franchise, the Chargers will be looking to make another jump after a successful first year under head coach Jim Harbaugh.
However, Kansas City, fresh off a debilitating loss against the Eagles in the Super Bowl, will be trying to course correct. With the defending champions looming in the distance for a Week 2 showdown, they will want to get off on the right foot against Los Angeles.
International games typically offer a unique perspective, with neither team having a clear edge over the other in terms of a home-field advantage. As a result, it could get tricky when the two divisional rivals face off in a standalone game.

KC has held the clear advantage over the rest of the AFC West with 10 consecutive division titles. Moreover, Mahomes is an astounding 35-5 against divisional opponents. As a result, a team surpassing them in the standings would be a major ordeal.
We’ll get a glimpse of whether this season brings about that dramatic change with how things play out in Brazil.
