For Pete's Sake

More notable Royals and Chiefs games are set to be aired through the end of May

It’s been a good month for watching Kansas City’s professional sports teams in playoff games.

Naturally, the COVID-19 pandemic has put sports on hold, but Royals and Chiefs title games have been shown again to help fill the void.

Fox Sports Kansas City on Thursday night wrapped up three weeks worth of Royals playoff games from the 2015 postseason. It culminated with the Royals beating the Mets 7-2 in 12 innings in Game 5 of the World Series and winning the championship.

That led to a fun parade and rally, and Fox Sports KC will air that on Friday night. The network will then follow with “Milestones Week” beginning on Monday.

Here is the schedule:

Friday, May 22 (7 p.m.): Royals 2015 World Series parade

Monday, May 25 (7 p.m.): Mike Moustakas’ nine-RBI game from Sept. 12, 2015

Tuesday, May 26 (7 p.m.): Danny Duffy strikes out 16 Rays from Aug. 1, 2016

Wednesday, May 27 (7 p.m.): Moustakas sets Royals home-run record from Sept. 20, 2017

Thursday, May 28 (7 p.m.): Whit Merrifield’s hitting streak reaches 31 from April 10, 2019

Friday, May 29 (7 p.m.): Jorge Soler breaks Royals’ home-run mark from Sept. 3, 2019

Three Chiefs postseason games will air on the NFL Network before the end of the month, including another rebroadcast of Super Bowl LIV.

Friday, May 22 (4:30 p.m.): The Chiefs’ 37-31 overtime loss to New England in the AFC Championship Game in 2019

Thursday, May 28 (5 a.m.): The Chiefs’ 51-31 win over the Houston Texans in January’s AFC Divisional Playoff game

Sunday, May 31 (10 a.m.): The Chiefs’ 51-31 win over the Houston Texans in January’s AFC Divisional Playoff game
