A few months back, the exhilarating announcement came that the Chargers would kick off the 2025 regular season in an electrifying international clash in Brazil! Fans have been buzzing with anticipation as we await the big reveal of their opponent, set to be unveiled on Wednesday, May 14. But whispers are already circulating about who Los Angeles might face.
In an intriguing scoop from Eric Fisher of Front Office Sports, it appears the Bolts are set to challenge none other than the Chiefs in their first outing of the season.
Fisher reported, “The league is nearing a deal with Google-owned YouTube, the network responsible for the residential version of NFL Sunday Ticket, to broadcast the game taking place on September 5 in Brazil, where the Chargers will be the home team. This matchup, featuring the Chiefs as the visitors, is set to be a major spectacle in São Paulo, showcasing the NFL’s most popular team.” The excitement surrounding this game will surely be palpable.
Should the Chiefs indeed be confirmed as the Chargers’ adversary in São Paulo, this revelation aligns perfectly with a prior report from The Athletic, which indicated Kansas City was the frontrunner for this matchup.
As the countdown to Wednesday draws near, expect to see a flurry of schedule leaks across social media. While some may hold truth, many will merely be speculative theories. Rest assured, we will keep you updated with any confirmed matchups as they come to light.
