The Kansas City Chiefs are planning to announce that they are moving across the Missouri border to Kansas after lawmakers there approved a public financing package to build a new stadium, according to people familiar with the team’s plans.

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to leave their home in Missouri to play in a new $3 bn (£2.25bn) stadium in neighboring state Kansas.

After spending 62 years in Kansas City, the Chiefs have announced that they are moving from Missouri to Kansas after the team made a deal to build a new football stadium with the help of government tax revenue.

The Chiefs will move to a state-of-the-art domed stadium in Kansas rather than renovate 53-year-old Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri.

The move was pending the approval of top Kansas lawmakers, who met Monday in Topeka, Kan., to vote on the proposal.

The Kansas City Chiefs announced Monday that they have entered into an agreement with the State of Kansas to play their games there beginning in 2031.

The Kansas City Chiefs, winners of four Super Bowls and one of the sporting world's most prominent franchises, will leave their longtime home in Missouri and play in the neighboring Sunflower State starting in 2031,

Arrowhead Stadium might be in its final years of hosting Chiefs home games. The team is reportedly expected to move to Kansas in 2031.
