the NFL season kicks off, the Chargers enter another campaign with a solid track record in season openers.

Over the past several years, the Bolts have consistently found ways to get off on the right foot, going 6-1 across the last seven openers.

Here is how the Chargers have fared in recent season openers:

2025: Win, 27-21 over the Chiefs in São Paulo, Brazil.
2024: Win, 22-10 over the Raiders in Jim Harbaugh’s debut as Chargers head coach.

2023: Loss, 34-36 to the Dolphins in a high-scoring shootout at SoFi Stadium.
2022: Win, 24-19 over the Raiders.
2021: Win, 20-16 at the Commanders.
2020: Win, 16-13 at the Bengals, with Tyrod Taylor starting before Justin Herbert took over the following week.
2019: Win, 30-24 over the Colts.

The Chargers host the Cardinals at SoFi Stadium on Sunday. A victory would extend their strong recent trend in season openers and give Jim Harbaugh’s team an early boost in what shapes up as another competitive AFC West race.
