Football fans can plan on wrapping up Christmas with an AFC West rivalry that could come with plenty of playoff implications.

The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Denver Broncos on Christmas at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video, the NFL announced on Monday.

Kansas City has dominated the AFC West over the last decade, winning nine straight division titles from 2016-2024, but Denver's rise to prominence under Sean Payton in 2024 suggests the going may not be as easy for the Chiefs in 2025. With&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nfl.com/players/bo-nix/">Bo Nix</a>&nbsp;and a collection of talent at his disposal, Payton's Broncos are aiming to take the next step by challenging for a throne that the Chiefs have claimed annually for the entirety of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nfl.com/players/patrick-mahomes/">Patrick Mahomes</a>' career.

If they reach the holidays with a chance to accomplish that goal, the matchup will make for a highly intriguing closer for the Christmas Day slate.
