Missouri senator proposes removing Chiefs from sports betting eligibility
Missouri senator Nick Schroer pre-filed a constitutional amendment on 31 December that would remove NFL teams from the state’s definition of professional sports teams for sports wagering. If both legislative chambers approve it, voters would decide the measure in November 2026 or at a special election called by the governor; it follows the Chiefs’ planned move to Kansas for the 2031 NFL season.
Removing NFL teams from the definition would make the Chiefs ineligible for the team-linked Missouri sports betting licences described in the proposal.
