Chiefs Reveal Name Change to Arrowhead Stadium Ahead of 2026 NFL Season

The home of the Kansas City Chiefs will once again be called Arrowhead Stadium.

The Chiefs and G.E.H.A (Government Employees Health Association) announced Wednesday "the home of the Chiefs will once again be known simply as Arrowhead Stadium."

That is a change from when it was known as GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

"G.E.H.A is a tremendous partner and this mutual decision reflects a shared commitment to honoring the rich history of Arrowhead Stadium and the Chiefs organization," Chiefs president Mark Donovan said. "We are thrilled to continue working with G.E.H.A on all of the key community, military, and veteran-focused programs that they have helped us bring to life over the years."

The partnership will remain despite the name change, and the announcement explained the Chiefs Military Mission presented by G.E.H.A. will continue to support service members and their families with activities such as military base visits and holiday outreach.

Arrowhead Stadium was changed to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium starting with the 2021 season, but the old name is now returning.

This comes with the Chiefs currently planning a new enclosed stadium set to open in 2031. It will be located in Kansas City, Kansas.

The AFC West team released renderings for the new stadium last month:

According to the Chiefs' announcement, the new stadium is expected to hold 70,000 people and will cost $3 billion.

It will be quite a change for the franchise considering it has played at Arrowhead Stadium since 1972. That time with the current stadium has seen plenty of success, especially of late, as the Chiefs have been to five of the last seven Super Bowls with Patrick Mahomes leading the way.

They have also won three Lombardi Trophies during that stretch.

For now, though, they are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2025 season as they take the field at Arrowhead Stadium. They went 6-11 last season and missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2014 campaign.

Kansas City's opener comes on Sept. 14 against the Denver Broncos.
