Chiefs' 2026 Season Kickoff: Offseason Workout Dates Announced

0:00It's April 3rd. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI tracking teams, players, and standings. The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for a strong 2026 season after a tough 2025. The NFL just dropped the offseason workout dates, and the Chiefs kicked things off April 20th with voluntary sessions aimed at getting back to the top. Their full slate includes organized team activities from May 26th through 28th, then June 1st through 3rd. That leads right into mandatory minicam June 9th to 11th, all designed to build chemistry without full pads. These programs roll out in three phases to ramp up safely. Phase 1 sticks to meetings, strength work, and rehab for the first two weeks. Phase 2 adds on-field drills at a walkthrough pace, no contact allowed. Phase 3 brings 10 days of OTAs with 7 on 7 and 11 on 11 reps, still keeping it touch-free. Key minicams can start as early as May 11th, though exact post-traff dates come later.
