The 2025 season will be 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 will attempt 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.

This will be 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]
