Fans in attendance at the Chargers-Chiefs game in Brazil
The Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers are playing today, September 5, 2025, at Arena Corinthians in São Paulo, Brazil. While the exact attendance for today’s game hasn’t been officially announced yet, the event is sold out, and fans have been eagerly anticipating the matchup.
No more tickets are available to attend the game—which marks the NFL’s second regular-season game in Brazil, following the 2024 matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers. The stadium’s capacity is 50,000 people, but on some occasions, attendance has been even higher.
The game has garnered significant attention, partly due to the engagement of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce to pop star Taylor Swift, which has drawn many of her fans, known as “Swifties”, to the stadium in hopes of catching a glimpse of her.
Fans who can’t make it to the stadium can still catch all the action live. The game is being streamed for free on YouTube, and subscribers can also watch it through NFL+, the league’s official streaming platform. Both options provide full game coverage.
