The Game
The second game of the 2026 preseason will feature the Kansas City Chiefs going on the road to match up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, at 6:30 p.m. Arrowhead time.
The Chiefs will look to break a negative streak extended by the 20-12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the opening exhibition. Kansas City hasn’t won a preseason game since 2023.
The Buccaneers came out on top in their first preseason game against the New York Jets, winning 24-16 with former Kansas
quarterback Jalon Daniels leading the reserves to victory. He is expected to play a significant amount in this game as well.
