TV and Live Stream:
Late Sunday night, the Twitter account for the city of Kansas City let fans know that the parade would take place Wednesday morning at 11:30 a.m. local time.
Kansas City officials have created a website for the parade that will share all crucial information with fans. As of Monday morning, it promises more information will be available Tuesday.
While exact information about the parade route is still being determined, the procession will culminate at Union Station with a rally featuring speeches from players, coaches and executives at approximately 2:30 p.m. ET. Fans can gather on the the National WWI Museum and Memorial north lawn to view the celebration.
On Tuesday morning, fans will be given more information regarding public transit, street closures and other tips to help them to have a safe and fun celebration. Fans can sign up for text notifications from AlertKC by texting CHIEFSPARADE to 888–777.
In 2015, Kansas City feted its Royals when they defeated the New York Mets with a parade and celebration. According to former mayor Sly James, an estimated 800,000 people attended that parade and rally, which is notable considering the population of Kansas City is a touch under 500,000.
We don’t know which players will speak at the rally, though it’s pretty safe to assume Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes will be thanking fans for their support. And tight end Travis Kelce has been the ringleader of these postseason Chiefs; after Kansas City won the AFC title, Kelce, reciting the immortal words of the Beastie Boys, grabbed the microphone and shouted, “You gotta fight for your right to party!”

The Super Bowl participants this year were the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, with the Chiefs taking the spoils in an epic comeback victory.
Details of the Kansas City Chiefs 2020 Super Bowl parade, start time, date, parade route and live stream schedule are now available below.
The Super Bowl victory parade is always a popular event, there will be crowds of thousands take to the streets to welcome their conqueirng heroes, while those who can’t make it given the inevitable short notice will have to make do with watching on TV or on an online live stream — we will have both options covered right here.
Now this may seem a strange event to include, being non-specific in terms of location and by it’s very nature variable in format, but there is just something about the colour and fanfare of a dramatic sporting victory parade that appeals to me, and the Super Bowl parade has to be one of the biggest there is so I would love to be in town to attend one some day.
For attendance figures, this is obviously also affected by location, but either venue will have some way to go to beat the estimated 1 million who turned up for the parade in New York to celebrate the victory of the NY Giants, although they only had to wait 4 years for that one, so may not have had quite the same level of enthusiasm!
