The Chargers are set to host the Cardinals for the regular season opener on Sunday, September 13, at 1:25 pm PT.

The Week 1 game will be televised on CBS and Kevin Harlan and Trent Green will have the call.

Entering Year 3 under head coach Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers are heavy 9.5-point home favorites. The biggest storyline surrounding Los Angeles is the highly anticipated debut new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. McDaniel is expected to bring a dynamic spark to elevate quarterback Justin Herbert.

Conversely, the Cardinals enter a transition period under newly hired head coach Mike LaFleur. Arizona's offense features a completely reconstructed offensive line, which will protect veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett. They will lean heavily on skill

players like Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Jr. and rookie Jeremiyah Love.

The last time the two teams met was in 2024. The Cardinals won, 17-15. The Chargers lead the overall series, 11-5.
