The Los Angeles Chargers opponents are out with all home and away games
After a disappointing 2023, where the Los Angeles Chargers finished last in the AFC West with a 5-12 record, last season was a big improvement. The Chargers made the playoffs in their first season under new head coach Jim Harbaugh, who has a reputation for transforming the fortunes of his teams quickly.
The Chargers are in a good position to improve the roster significantly this year, as Harbaugh will have a better understanding of his needs and has nearly a $70 cap space available to go along with the number 22 draft pick in the first round.
Moving on to the Chargers’ schedule, as part of the AFC West division, the Chargers will get 9 home and 8 away games as per the NFL’s policy that alternates 9 home games for the AFC and the NFC on a yearly basis.
Here is the entire 18-week schedule for the Los Angeles Chargers’ 2025-26 NFL regular season with 17 match day weeks and 1 bye week.

Starting with the Chargers’ 9 home games, 3 of them will be played against their AFC West rivals, including the Chiefs, Broncos, and the Raiders. Then, 2 more home games will come in the form of another AFC division. This year, the AFC West will play the AFC South and the Chargers’ home games will be against the Colts and the Texans.
Similarly, the Chargers will play another division from the NFC, and this year, the AFC West will play the NFC East. The Eagles and the Commanders will visit SoFi Stadium for the 2 home games. As the Chargers finished second in the AFC West last season, they will play the remaining 2 home games against the second-placed teams – one from the AFC and one from the NFC. Their AFC opponents will be the Steelers from the AFC North and the NFC opponents will be the Vikings from the NFC North.
we have plans.

The Chargers had a total of 9 draft selections in the 2025 NFL draft. With their first round pick, Los Angeles selected running back Omarion Hampton. Harbaugh is generally fond of the running game and this could be the reason for selecting Hampton at 22 overall.

| 1 | 22 | Omarion Hampton | Running back |
| 2 | 55 | Tre Harris | Wide Receiver |
| 3 | 86 | Jamaree Caldwell | Defensive Tackle |
