Having secured the last two Super Bowls, they now have the opportunity to become the first team to win three consecutive titles.
Star players Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce will face tough competition in the AFC, with the long-struggling New York Jets aiming to make their mark.
After losing new quarterback Aaron Rodgers just four snaps into last year’s opener, the Jets have strengthened their roster in anticipation of the NFL’s four-time MVP’s return.
Lamar Jackson, last season’s MVP, led the Baltimore Ravens to the best regular-season record and now they have added Derrick Henry, a two-time rushing leader, to their roster.
The Chiefs defeated the Ravens in the playoffs before winning Super Bowl 58 against the San Francisco 49ers. These teams are favored to face each other again in this year’s championship game.
Meanwhile, two NFC rivals, having acquired potential superstars in the draft, are looking to challenge the 49ers.
This season’s big game will return to New Orleans, and the journey to Super Bowl 59 begins in Kansas City on Thursday (01:20 BST Friday) with a rematch of last season’s AFC Championship game between the Chiefs and Ravens.
