The Kansas City Chiefs announced on August 5, 2026, that their stadium will revert to the name Arrowhead Stadium. This change comes after the name was altered in 2021 to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium due to a naming rights deal. GEHA remains a sponsor while the franchise prepares to build a new stadium in Wyandotte County, Kansas, set to open before the 2031 season. Arrowhead Stadium has been in use since 1972 and is the oldest stadium in the AFC. It will be demolished following the 2031 season, marking the end of its nearly six-decade history.
