Coming off a successful first season with head coach Jim Harbagh, the Los Angeles Chargers are looking to take another step forward in 2025.

The NFL schedule for the 2025 season has been announced and not everyone is happy with the match-up for the first international game of the season.

Here are the biggest takeaways from the Chargers 2025 schedule: There's no easing into this one. The Chargers will play three straight AFC West games to open the season, kicking off some early battles in what could be the NFL's most competitive division in 2025.

They'll first take on the Cowboys on Aug. 9, followed by a home matchup with the Chargers and a road game against the Browns to close out the preseason. Below is the full preseason schedule for Los Angeles, with dates and times for each game.

NFL schedule is officially released on May 14, but leaks and rumors continued to come out for the Packers and other teams.

With the NFL schedule fully unveiled on Wednesday night, plenty of marquee matchups have already been leaked, and more will follow before each team knows the entirety of their 2025-26 season schedule.

It will be an all-AFC West affair when the NFL returns to Brazil in Week 1. The Chiefs will face the Chargers on Friday, Sept. 5, at Corinthians Arena in São Paulo in a game that will stream for free on YouTube.
