Arrowhead Stadium, the long-time home of the Kansas City Chiefs, will officially revert to its original name for the 2026 NFL season. The team announced Wednesday that the naming rights deal with Government Employees Health Association (GEHA), which had added their name to the stadium as GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, has been adjusted.
GEHA has agreed to allow the use of the classic, simplified name going forward. The original naming rights deal was signed in 2021. Despite the official designation, many fans, players, and coaches continued to use the simpler "Arrowhead Stadium" moniker, which has been in place since the venue opened in 1972. The stadium's strong brand recognition was evident even during the recent World Cup, when FIFA referred to it as "Kansas City Stadium" for matches held there.
The Chiefs are scheduled to continue playing at Arrowhead Stadium until their lease expires in 2031. Following this period, the team is set to relocate to a new $3 billion domed stadium currently under construction in Kansas, which is located across the state line. The name for this future stadium has not yet been announced.
