Patrick Mahomes and the Super Bowl champion Chiefs will open Week 1 with a rematch from the playoffs.

The Ravens will play at the Chiefs on Thursday, Sept. 5, in the first regular-season game of the 2024 season, the NFL announced on Monday.

The team Kansas City beat on the road in the AFC Championship Game to get to Super Bowl LVIII will be the opponent as the Ravens look to exact some revenge. The game will be broadcast on NBC and kick off on Thursday, Sept. 5, at 8:20 p.m. ET.

This game will be a rematch of the 2024 AFC Championship Game, in which the Kansas City Chiefs defeated Baltimore 17-10 on the road at M&T Bank Stadium. This was Patrick Mahomes’ second consecutive road playoff triumph, as he beat a Ravens team with the best regular-season record and the league MVP, Lamar Jackson.

The Ravens closed out the regular season at 13-4 to earn the AFC’s No. 1 seed entering the postseason.

Following an 11-6 regular season, the Chiefs, who were ranked third in the conference, proved to be road warriors throughout the playoffs, defeating the Bills in Buffalo during the divisional round to advance to the AFC Championship in Baltimore. Against that Ravens defense, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 30 of his 39 passes for 241 yards and a score.

The Chiefs, led by Mahomes, are 4-1 versus Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, via Football Database.

The Chiefs made it to their fourth Super Bowl appearance in the previous five seasons thanks to a solid offensive performance from Mahomes and Travis Kelce in the AFC Championship Game and a strong defensive effort from their colleagues to slow down Jackson.

The only victory Jackson has over the Chiefs came in 2021.
