In 2021 and 2022 we played them at home as the East vs West 1st place finishers. Since there are 3 other division champs it doesn't flip flop every other year. For example the AFC West champ plays the AFC East champ at home 2 straight years (21 and 22) and then it flips for 2 straight years. So we got them this year as division champs. We'll go back there in 2025 as division champs. Then in 2027 (because 2026 is a division v division year) we'll host them again (assuming both teams finish in the same position within the division in 2026).
The schedule is a predetermined formula.

1 Home/Away (it rotates every year) vs NFC team with same place finish in previous season vs the division that was played the season before last (the 17th game that was added a few years ago).

We basically know 14 of our 17 opponents - and if they're home/away - several years out barring some overall scheduling change.

All of this is true. But, it wont stop the meme of "the NFL is in the tank for the Chiefs" from continuing on.
