The Kansas City Chiefs have announced their talent teams for the 2023 season. The club's in-house preseason television network will return its full crew from 2022, while the Chiefs Radio Network crew that originally debuted during the 2020 season will return for a fourth-consecutive year in 2023.
"We are fortunate once again to have a consistent and talented broadcast team representing this franchise for the preseason telecasts as well as year-round on our radio broadcasts," Chiefs Vice President of Content and Production Rob Alberino said. "We strive to give Chiefs Kingdom a world-class TV and radio experience and with the games being broadcast across our affiliates both domestically and internationally, quality and consistency is expected."

Chiefs Preseason Television will feature NFL Network anchor Ari Wolfe as the play-by-play announcer for the fourth season in 2023. Former Pro Bowl quarterback and NFL on CBS analyst Trent Green returns to the booth for his 13th season as the preseason crew's color commentator. Joining Wolfe and Green for her second year as sideline reporter for the Chiefs Preseason Television team is Kimmi Chex, a Kansas City, Missouri, native and on-air host and personality for NFL Media. Chiefs Senior Team Reporter Matt McMullen is entering his third season delivering sideline features and reports for the preseason broadcasts. Produced by 65 Toss Power Trap Productions, all three of the club's preseason games will air locally on KSHB.

"Voice of the Chiefs" Mitch Holthus returns for his 30th season as the club's play-by-play personality. Holthus has called a team-record 492 career regular and postseason games for the club, earning eight Kansas Sportscaster of the Year awards and one Missouri Sportscaster of the Year award. Joining Holthus in the booth for the fourth year is former Chiefs wide receiver and current Kansas City Ambassador Danan Hughes, who has been broadcasting football and baseball as part of the Big Ten Network since 2008, as well as Chiefs pregame and postgame shows on local television since 2014.
