Chiefs Kingdom, the countdown to the 2026 NFL Draft just got a lot more refreshing. As the Presenting Sponsor of the draft, Bud Light is launching a nationwide "On The Clock" promotion, and it's kicking off in Kansas City with a special offer for fans 21 and older.

Here’s the play: when the Kansas City Chiefs are officially on the clock during the first round on Thursday, April 23rd, your draft beer is on Bud Light. Head to iconic KC spots in the Power and Light District like Johnny's Tavern, No Other Pub, or Guy Fieri's to claim your complimentary cold one as the team makes its pivotal selection.

This initiative taps directly into the electric atmosphere of draft weekend, a key date on every NFL fan's calendar. "The excitement fans feel when their draft is on the clock is unmatched," said Todd Allen, SVP of Marketing for Bud Light. "That's why we're ensuring every pick of the 2026 NFL Draft class gives fans a reason to cheers."

And the celebration isn't confined to Arrowhead Stadium's shadow. Bud Light is extending the offer through team partnerships across the country and providing fans 21+ with $10 off a pitcher of Bud Light draft at participating bars nationwide during the draft weekend.

So, whether you're in KC or anywhere else, gear up in your favorite Chiefs apparel, gather your crew, and get ready to toast the future of your team. When the commissioner steps to the podium for the Chiefs' pick, it's time to raise a glass.
