The 2025 season is the Los Angeles Chargers' 56th in the National Football League (NFL), their 66th overall, their tenth in the Greater Los Angeles Area, their sixth playing their home games at SoFi Stadium and their second under the leadership of general manager Joe Hortiz and head coach Jim Harbaugh. The Chargers are attempting to improve on their 11–6 record from the previous season, make the playoffs for the second straight year, and end their 15-year AFC West title drought. The Chargers started 4–2 for the first time since 2022.
This is the first season since 2015 without defensive end Joey Bosa, as he was released on March 5. [1] This made Denzel Perryman and Keenan Allen the last players on the team to have spent time during the team's tenure in San Diego. [2]

Following a strong performance from his receivers, star quarterback Justin Herbert finished the game with over three hundred passing yards. After Herbert ran for a first down to run out the clock in the final quarter, the Chargers started 1–0 for the sixth time in seven seasons and defeated the Chiefs for the first time since 2021. [8] This was their first home win against the Chiefs since 2013, and their first since relocating back to Los Angeles in 2017.

They fell to 3–2, and suffered their first home loss to the Commanders since 1986, when they were based in San Diego and the Commanders were known as the Redskins. [12]
Wide receiver Keenan Allen recorded his 1,000th career reception, becoming the fastest player in NFL history to reach the milestone. He achieved the mark in his 159th game, surpassing Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, who previously held the record at 167 games. [13]
