The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl 57 on Sunday night. With the win, the Chiefs claimed their second championship in four seasons. This marked the accumulation of a tough journey for Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Andy Reid and co. as they went through losses in Super Bowl 55 and the AFC Championship Game last season to get back to the top. For this article, we’ll be looking at the Chiefs parade time, date, route and so much more.
Chiefs Super Bowl Parade 2023: Date, time, route, how to watch
With that, Kansas City will host its first championship parade since 2020, when the Chiefs came from behind to beat the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 54 to cap off the 2019 season. That victory marked the first time the Chiefs won the NFL title since 1969.
This should be a loud and raucous atmosphere Wednesday afternoon as Chiefs Nation celebrates the team’s return to the top. Expect to hear speeches from key players, especially from the newly crowned regular season and Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, who is sure to give his share of humble brags. If anyone won’t be so humble about the brags, a good bet would be Travis Kelce, and he’s sure to drop a few memorable lines at the parade. Expect coach Andy Reid to say let’s do this again after pushing back on retirement talk.
While Mahomes, Kelce and Reid have been to the mountaintop before, this should also be a huge moment for first-timers like JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kadarius Toney. Expect something Twitter-worthy to from those two and others as the parade rolls on.
