Harrison Butker kicks 69-yard field goal for Chiefs in preseason vs. Bucs
Summary

Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs made a 69-yard field goal against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during a preseason game on August 23, 2026. The kick occurred in the final seconds of the first half, giving the Chiefs a 9-0 lead at halftime. While the kick surpassed the official NFL record for longest field goal of 68 yards, it will not count towards official records as it was in preseason play. The longest field goal recorded is a 70-yarder made by Cam Little in preseason last year. Kansas City later scored a touchdown in the third quarter, extending their lead.
