With the 2025 NFL regular season officially over, the Los Angeles Chargers now know every team they'll play in 2026.
While the complete week-to-week slate for the '26 season won't be released until sometime this spring, typically in mid-May, the full list of the 14 opponents the Bolts will battle was finalized the moment the '25 campaign concluded.
For those who might not be overly familiar with exactly how each team's 17-game schedule is constructed, here's how it breaks down:
- Six games against every other team within the division — two per team; one at home and one on the road
- Four games against teams from a specific division within its conference on a rotating, three-year cycle; two at home and two on the road
- Four games against teams from a specific division in the opposing conference on a rotating, four-year cycle; two at home and two on the road
- Two games against teams from the two remaining divisions within the same conference based on the previous season's standings; one at home and one on the road.
