Will Travis Kelce make it to the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards? Here's what we know

Travis Kelce’s participation in the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards is a timing question for fans. Kelce, a Kansas City Chiefs star, is scheduled to be on the field for the Chiefs vs. Miami Dolphins game at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on Sunday, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET. The VMAs in Los Angeles begin at 7:30 p.m. ET at the Peacock Theater, and Swift’s new “Patient Zero” video is set to premiere during the broadcast. Assuming a typical three-hour NFL window, the game could finish around 4 p.m. ET, leaving roughly three and a half hours for travel. A private jet trip from Miami to Los Angeles typically takes 4.5 to 5.5 hours nonstop, making a last-minute arrival difficult.
