American Football Conference · AFC West
The Los Angeles Chargers were founded in 1959 in Los Angeles, California, and now play their home games at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The franchise is owned by Dean Spanos, with John Spanos among the minority owners, and operates out of El Segundo. Joe Horitz serves as general manager, while Jim Harbaugh leads as head coach with Mike McDaniel coordinating the offense and Chris O'Leary handling the defense. The Chargers have experienced considerable fluctuation over the years. They posted a 13–3 record and reached the playoffs in 2009, then dipped to 4–12 in 2015 and 5–11 in 2016 before bouncing back to 12–4 with a playoff berth in 2018. After a few uneven seasons, they made the playoffs again in 2022 at 10–7, stumbled to 5–12 in 2023, then surged to back-to-back 11–6 playoff appearances in 2024 and 2025. The current 2026 campaign has opened 0–7.
