What we know about the Chargers 2025 NFL schedule ahead of the reveal
What we know about the Chargers 2025 NFL schedule ahead of the reveal
The NFL poorly announced that the 2025 football schedule would be revealed on May 14. Roughly two weeks away from the reveal has us wondering just what this schedule could look like. We know the opponents, so that won't be a shock, but what will the order look like for Jim Harbaugh and company in year two?
The 2025 schedule includes nine home games and eight road games. Outside of the AFC West, that breaks down to six games against non-divisional foes at SoFi Stadium and five away from the friendly confines of sunny Los Angeles. This is the season that LA will play the AFC South and NFC East. The remaining three games on the schedule include second-place teams from last season, the Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Minnesota Vikings.
The 2025 NFL schedule will be released on Wednesday, May 14, at 5 p.m. PT.
Chargers 2025 Opponents
Broncos (Home, Away)
Chiefs (Home, Away)
Raiders (Home, Away)
Colts (Home)
Commanders (Home)
Cowboys (Away)
Dolphins (Away)
Eagles (Home)
Giants (Away)
Jaguars (Away)
Steelers (Home)
Texans (Home)
Titans (Away)
Vikings (Home)
Chargers' last 10 season openers
2015: Home vs Lions
2016: Away vs Chiefs
2017: Away vs Broncos
2018: Home vs Chiefs
2019: Home vs Colts
2020: Away vs Bengals
2021: Away vs Commanders
2022: Home vs Raiders
2023: Home vs Dolphins
2024: Home vs Raiders
Over the last 10 seasons, LA has opened the season at home six times versus four times on the road. Half of those instances came against AFC West competition. The Bolts haven't opened back-to-back seasons against a divisional foe since they did it three straight years from 2016 to 2018.
Could the Chargers play on Thanksgiving this year? The last time they did came on Nov. 23, 2017, against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys are on the schedule as an away game this season, so it could happen. LA has only played on Thanksgiving five times in franchise history, four coming before the NFL merger. The Chargers are 3-1-1 in those games, including the 28-6 win over Dallas in 2017. In that game, Philip Rivers carved up the defense to the tune of 434 passing yards and three touchdowns.
Wherever the Vikings game lands on the schedule, it will mark the first time that Harbaugh will face his former quarterback, whom he coached to a CFP national championship when at Michigan.

Dak Prescott: I want to win a championship for my personal being, my sanity
Dak Prescott is entering his 10th season. He still is looking for his first Super Bowl title. The Cowboys quarterback has a 2-5 postseason record and has never advanced past the divisional round despite being the No. 1 seed in 2016. The franchise won its last championship in 1995. Winning a championship is personal for Prescott. 'I want to win a championship,' Prescott said, via Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. 'The legacy, whatever comes after I finish playing, will take care of itself. I want to win a championship. Be damned if it's just for my legacy or if it's for this team. It's for my personal being, for my sanity. The legacy will take care of itself.' In his nine seasons, Prescott is close to career franchise records for passing yards (2,746 away) and passing touchdowns (35 away). He has become the face of the franchise, and the NFL's highest-paid player. Prescott has done a lot and not enough at the same time. 'It's hard to be reflective,' Prescott said. 'I think you have to, especially with how [his 10 seasons] have been. Some being injured; some getting to knocking on the door and not finishing it. What it does really is just makes you grateful for the opportunity. Every day you get to walk into this building, you're healthy. Every day you get to approach your teammates. You get to approach this game that you love.' Prescott is returning from a torn right hamstring, which ended his 2024 season in Week 9.

Roger Goodell's potential NFL successor bolts for PGA Tour
One of the NFL's top executives is leaving to take over as CEO of the PGA Tour. Brian Rolapp, the league's chief media and business officer, is taking on the role at the PGA after being widely believed to be the clear favorite for the job days earlier, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo Thursday to all team executives and presidents alerting them of the news. Brian Rolapp, NFL executive vice president and chief media and business officer, speaks during a news conference at the NFL football annual meetings on March 31, 2025, in Palm Beach, Fla. AP 'After 22 remarkable seasons of dedicated leadership and significant contributions, Brian Rolapp will be leaving the NFL to pursue other opportunities,' Goodell wrote. 'We have spent some time planning for this change and are confident we will successfully manage the responsibilities while we align our structure to meet our long-term strategic goals. We will share more details soon.' Rolapp spent 22 years at the NFL and was considered by some as a potential successor to Goodell. But the hire shouldn't come as too big of a shock, considering that Rolapp had been on the PGA Tour's radar since 2024, and a memo from PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan in December indicated that the hire would come from outside the organization, Sports Business Journal reported. The outlet reported earlier this week that the search for a CEO was nearing its end and that Rolapp appeared to be the favorite. NASCAR commissioner Steve Phelps, TaylorMade Golf CEO David Abeles and former Ticketmaster chairman Jared Smith were also believed to be options for the position. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell addresses the media at a press conference at the NFL football owners meeting, Wednesday, May 21, 2025, in Eagan, Minn. AP The CEO will report directly to the PGA Tour Policy Board and PGA Tour Enterprises — the for-profit arm of the Tour — would also fall under the new CEO's jurisdiction. The position is separate from the commissioner, which will remain helmed by Monahan. Rolapp has served as the chief media and business officer since 2017 and helped the NFL through its current media rights deal, which is worth $111 billion over 11 years. 'Brian began his journey with the NFL in 2003 as Director of Finance and Strategy at NFL Network. Since then, he built a distinguished career, culminating in his role as Executive Vice President, Chief Media & Business Officer,' Goodell wrote about Rolapp. 'Brian played an integral role in shaping the NFL's media strategy and business operations at a time of unprecedented change in the media environment. 'His accomplishments include negotiating several key media partnerships, overseeing NFL Media, NFL Films, 32 Equity, the Sponsorship and Consumer Products businesses and leading major initiatives that expanded the league's global media footprint and digital presence.'

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Wear Matching Outfits at Stanley Cup Final
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce just made their first official (meaning: not blurry fan pics) public appearance together since January, showing up at the 2025 Stanley Cup Final in Florida wearing matching red and beige outfits. And yep there are videos: This comes amid a source telling Us Weekly that Tay and Trav are making fewer public appearances together "because [their relationship] brings too much unwanted attention. But there isn't trouble in paradise." You also might have noticed that tonight's surprise appearance is going down in Florida, where Travis happens to be training for the upcoming NFL season. "Florida has been the perfect escape for them," another insider told the outlet. "Taylor has been coming and going to Florida and is still spending a lot of her time in NYC." Meanwhile, a third person added that Taylor "is trying to spend as much time with him as she can by going to Boca. They are doing stuff separately out of necessity because of his training, but when they find time to connect, it's intentional and meaningful." The couple were also recently spotted at a wedding, and in case you missed the photos they are v. sweet: Can't wait to see where these two pop up next. And as a reminder: they have yet to make their official red carpet debut, so keep an eye out....
