AFL Championships (4) (1960—1969)
The Chiefs–Raiders rivalry is considered to be one of the National Football League (NFL)'s most bitter rivalries. Since the American Football League (AFL) was established in 1960, the Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders have shared the same division, first being the AFL Western Conference, and since the AFL–NFL merger in 1970, the AFC West.
The Chiefs lead the series 60–52–2.
The Chiefs are ahead in playoff match-ups with a record of 2–1. The Chiefs are one of only four teams in the NFL (and the only team in the AFC West) with a winning record against the Raiders (with 10 or more contests)
The teams first met in 1960 when the Chiefs were known as the Dallas Texans. The Texans defeated the Raiders 34-16 in the team's first game at Oakland, while the Raiders defeated the Texans 20-19 at Dallas.
The rivalry did not become so apparent until the Kansas City Athletics baseball team moved to Oakland, California, in 1967. In 1969, the Kansas City Royals expansion team was placed in the same division as the Athletics. The 1966 Chiefs team participated in the first AFL-NFL World Championship Game, later known as the Super Bowl. The Chiefs and Raiders had identical 12–2 records in 1968 and faced off in a playoff game to decide who would go to face the New York Jets for the AFL Championship. The Raiders won, 41–6.
