Overview

  • The Kansas City Chiefs announced Wednesday that the venue will revert to being called Arrowhead Stadium for the 2026 season after dropping the formal 'G.E.H.A. Field' branding.
  • G.E.H.A. will remain an active partner and will continue to support the Chiefs Military Mission and community programs such as the Joe Delaney Learn to Swim initiative and TeamSmile.
  • The 2021 naming-rights deal that created GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium was reported to run through the 2031 season and industry estimates at the time placed its decade value between roughly $10 million and $140 million.
  • The team says the name change comes as it advances plans for a new enclosed domed stadium in Wyandotte County, Kansas, that the franchise expects to open for the 2031 season with about 70,000 seats and a roughly $3 billion budget.
  • Arrowhead has been the Chiefs' home since 1972 and the simplified name reflects long-standing fan usage and recent event branding shifts, including FIFA temporarily calling the site 'Kansas City Stadium' during the 2026 World Cup.
