The Chargers already know their opponents for the 2026 NFL season, as well as home and away games. However, not all the details surrounding this year's schedule have been released.

So when will the full Chargers schedule be announced? ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported that the entire 2026 NFL schedule will be unveiled in just over a month.

When will 2026 NFL schedule be released?

“Circle your calendars for the week of May 11th, which usually is the time that the NFL schedule comes out,” Schefter said on his podcat. “... I would think that we’ll get a schedule release announcement sometime around May 12th, May 13th, May 14th. Somewhere between Tuesday the 12th and Thursday the 14th.”

The Chargers rank in the top 10 of toughest schedules for the 2026 season. The NFL's strength of schedule is based on the final 2025 regular-season records of teams, with the Bears set to have the toughest schedule next year and the Browns slated for the easiest.

The Chargers rank at No. 9, with the .522 clip representing their 2026 opponents' win record last season.
