About Buffalo Bills vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Thanksgiving night football brings two AFC East rivals together under the lights, and the holiday timing changes the whole day. Tailgates start early, often before noon, as families and friends turn the car park into a proper feast before kick-off. Expect the broadcast crews to make a fuss of the occasion, with a national primetime audience watching a fixture that usually carries real playoff weight this late in the season. The cold is part of it too — layers, gloves and a flask of something hot are as essential as the tickets.

Where to stay nearby

Buffalo sits closest to the stadium and has by far the widest choice of hotels, making it the easiest base for this one — especially given how early tailgating traditions get going on Thanksgiving Day. Cheektowaga is just as close and worth checking if Buffalo's options are full or pricier over the holiday. Niagara Falls is further out, roughly a 40-minute drive, but its large hotel supply can be useful if you're combining the game with sightseeing or if nearer towns sell out, as they often do around a holiday fixture like this.

About Buffalo Bills

The Bills joined the AFL as a charter member in 1960, reviving a name first used by an earlier Buffalo entry and honouring frontier showman Buffalo Bill Cody. Buffalo won back-to-back AFL titles in the mid-1960s, but the franchise is best known for reaching four consecutive Super Bowls from 1991 to 1994 and losing all four, an unmatched run of near-misses capped by a last-second missed field goal in the first.

Jim Kelly's high-powered no-huddle offense of that era remains the defining chapter in team history. More recently Josh Allen has led a new generation of playoff runs, and the loyal, cold-weather Bills Mafia fanbase has become part of the team's identity.

Buffalo Bills records & quirks

  • Tyler Bass kicked a franchise-record 61-yard field goal to beat Miami as time expired.
  • Bass also holds Bills records for most field goals in a game (six) and most points in a season (141).
  • In 2021 Buffalo scored a touchdown on every offensive drive in a 47-17 win over New England.

About Highmark Stadium

The new Highmark Stadium, opened in 2026, is the home of the Buffalo Bills, a striking open-air arena replacing the former ground in Orchard Park, south of Buffalo. The setting is suburban and community-driven, with Buffalo's reviving waterfront, Canalside and the restaurant scene of Elmwood Village a short drive away.

Parking and rideshare are the primary ways in. Booking a room in downtown Buffalo keeps the city's bars, waterfront and transport close, with an easy drive out to the stadium on game day.
