Kansas City will host a “Back-to-Back Champions Parade” on Wednesday. Here is what you need to know.

The Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl LVIII champions, which means they will be celebrated with a parade through downtown Kansas City on Wednesday, February 14.

The basics

The caravan will start at 11 a.m. Arrowhead Time from at 6th Street and Grand Blvd, heading south on Grand Blvd, west on Pershing Road, north on Main and finishing at Union Station. It should last approximately an hour and a half — and will be followed by a rally at Union Station expected to begin around 12:45 p.m. Arrowhead Time.

How to watch

KSHB 41 (NBC) is the official broadcast partner for the parade. The celebration will air live on KSHB 41 and stream on KSHB.com. Coverage will begin at 4:30 a.m. Arrowhead Time.

Getting to the parade

STREETCAR: Streetcar service will start at its regularly scheduled time of 6 a.m. and will operate with 10-12 minute frequencies until approximately 10:30 a.m. At that time, streetcar service will be temporarily suspended until the end of the parade. Streetcar service will resume once the tracks are clear between 20th Street and Pershing Road. Streetcar passenger service will be available at all streetcar stops except Union Station. Starting Wednesday morning, riders and parade goers must exit the KC Streetcar at the Crossroads southbound stop. Northbound travelers may board the KC Streetcar at the Crossroads northbound stop. The Union Station streetcar stop will close to passengers at the end of regular service Tuesday, February 13.

KCATA PARK & RIDE LOCATIONS: Park and Ride shuttles will run from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. — and then again from 12 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Riders will need to return to the drop-off location for their specific shuttle.
