KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Kansas City Chiefs in 2016 won’t be playing a game in London for the second year in a row, but that only increases the chance they’ll play somewhere outside the United States in 2017.

“I certainly would expect it to happen in the next three or four years,” chairman Clark Hunt said early this month in regard to the Chiefs playing another international game.

Hunt indicated the next time the Chiefs played internationally, they would probably be the road team as opposed to giving up one of their regular season games otherwise scheduled for Arrowhead Stadium.

“I don’t foresee us playing a home game in the near future," Hunt said. “It would be much more likely that we would play an away game before we would play another home game.

“Having said that, the league is going to expand the international series. Beginning in 2018, there will be four games [in London] and the league is already looking at other markets like Mexico, Canada, Germany, Brazil, maybe one day somewhere in Asia. I think the series is going to expand, but certainly, I don’t want to give up another home game in the near future.”

The Chiefs played their first international regular-season game on Nov. 1 at London’s Wembley Stadium and beat the Detroit Lions 45-10. That game was a designated home game for Kansas City.
