The Super Bowl winner and girlfriend Taylor Swift were pictured at Coachella last week
The addition of a game show to his workload comes with Travis juggling being a successful podcaster alongside his NFL career.
The format will see contestants try to answer 11 grade-school-level questions. They’ll be able to call on the assistance of a classroom of celebrities.
If contestants make it to the final question and get it right, they will take home $100,000.
Kelce is currently enjoying some downtime after winning a third Super Bowl title with the Chiefs in Las Vegas in February.
The couple were hanging out at Coachella last weekend. They watched Taylor’s pal Jack Antonoff’s band, Bleachers, perform at the festival on Saturday and were also seen attending the celeb-packed Neon Carnival bash.
It was the first time Swift has attended the music festival since 2016 while Kelce was seen at the event in 2022 and 2023 with some of his friends.

Kelce is already a successful podcast host but is now making the move into television
Travis is set to reveal all about his Coachella trip in the latest New Heights episode on Wednesday morning.
It promises to be a packed edition for their many fans, as they also reflect on hosting a live show in Cincinnati last Thursday night.
Kelce, 34, was crticized for downing a beer on stage at the end of the event, while he was being awarded his diploma by the University of Cincinnati.
It prompted a defensive tweet by older brother Jason on Saturday, saying: ‘I know it looks like a graduation from the video, but this was actually at the end of a New Heights Live podcast that we put on to raise money for the University’s NIL.
‘The university did this to poke fun at my brother and I for never really picking up our diplomas.’
For Swift, meanwhile, a big week lies ahead as her massively anticipated new album – The Tortured Poets Department – is released on Friday.
