Harrison Butker hits historic 69-yard field goal in preseason game
Summary

Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs kicked a remarkable 69-yard field goal against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on August 22, 2026, just before halftime. Although this kick surpasses the NFL record of 68 yards, it will not be recognized officially as it occurred during a preseason game. Butker's impressive attempt followed a fourth-down stop by the Chiefs' defense, leading to a last-minute opportunity to score. In addition to the 69-yarder, he successfully made a 58-yard and a 45-yard field goal, but missed a 43-yarder in the fourth quarter as the Chiefs lost 16-15 to the Buccaneers.
