The NFL is officially back as the LA Chargers host the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. It has been a long time since the Bolts have suited up and fans may naturally be out of the swing of tuning into the team every single weekend.

Here is everything you need to know for the Chargers game today.

What time is the Chargers game today?

Kickoff between the Chargers and Dolphins is scheduled for 1:25 p.m. PDT. Los Angeles is hosting at SoFi Stadium and this is one of five late-afternoon slots that will kick off at 1:25 p.m. PDT.

Chargers starting lineup vs Dolphins:

The Chargers head into the 2023 season with one of the most talented rosters in the entire league and a starting lineup on both sides of the ball that can win games. Luckily, the Chargers are not dealing with any injuries to projected starters in Week 1.

Here is how the offense is likely going to line up:

  • QB: Justin Herbert
  • RB: Austin Ekeler

Fans should also expect to see a decent amount of Quentin Johnston, who the team selected in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Johnston slots in as the WR4 on the depth chart but will likely still be a factor in Week 1.
