Los Angeles Chargers schedule release date rumors, leaks, opponents, and more

The Los Angeles Chargers have plenty of reason to be excited for the 2026 NFL season.

They've brought in a pair of new coordinators, and they've managed to address many of the issues that plagued them last season. With a reshaped offensive line and a new schematic structure under Mike McDaniel, this team has a serious chance to be a real threat out of the AFC West.

For every team, though, a lot hinges on their schedule and their ability to maintain dominance on both sides of the ball over the full 18 weeks of the season. With a playoff rematch against the New England Patriots and a road date against Jesse Minter and the Baltimore Ravens looming, there's lots to be look forward to.

The Los Angeles Chargers will receive their full schedule on May 14, and we're here to keep track of every development along the way.
