Travis Kelce opens up on next steps and when he will make 2026 plans

Travis Kelce has delved into his mindset for the upcoming season — and when he might make a decision about 2026.Many people believed that Kelce, 35, might retire after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss to the Eagles, but he announced at the end of February in a text to Pat McAfee that he would “for sure” be playing in 2025.With many questions about what Kelce’s future might look like beyond this season, he answered some on the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast on Monday.When asked about plans post-2025, Kelce made sure to reiterate that his focus is still just on this season. “I know that I got one on the contract, and a hell of a f–king team.We got a lot of f–king talent, and I’m pumped for it.” Kelce said.The Chiefs come into this season after falling short of a third straight Super Bowl win, and the team will be in for a challenge in what’s shaping up to be a loaded AFC.Kelce also revealed that his decision to retire — or not — will not be announced immediately at the end of the 2025 season. He reached the Pro Bowl for the 10th time this past season, though he recorded 823 receiving yards, the lowest full-season total of his career.“I don’t know what I’m gonna feel like in March and April next year when I make that decision, or I try and figure out what’s next for me,” Kelce said.As for his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift, Kelce shot down any notion that the two look to “seek attention.”“We’re having fun with it,” Kelce said.

“It gets thrown out there, like we’re trying to seek attention every now and then.We’re just enjoying life and having fun going to hockey games, kind of introducing her to some more of the sports world.” Kelce will start his 13th season in Brazil when the Chiefs take on the Chargers on Sept.
