The Los Angeles Chargers’ May 14, 2026 schedule announcement set their regular-season opener against the Arizona Cardinals at SoFi Stadium on September 13. The team’s release also placed the Las Vegas Raiders at home in Week 2. [1]

After those two home games, the published plan sent Los Angeles to Buffalo and Seattle in Weeks 3 and 4. It then paired a home game against Denver with a trip to Kansas City before a Week 7 bye. [1]

The announcement identified later primetime matchups against New England on Sunday night and San Francisco on Thursday night. It scheduled the regular-season finish at Denver, after a home game against Kansas City in Week 17. [1]

Those details describe the schedule as announced in May, not results from games subsequently played. Fans consulting this archive for plans should use the team’s current schedule for confirmed times and any changes. The original release remains useful for tracing how the season was arranged without implying that every announced detail stayed fixed. [1]
