Los Angeles – The NFL calendar is always bustling, and the Los Angeles Chargers are gearing up for a busy season ahead in 2025. As teams across the league prepare for the upcoming season, there are key dates that fans and players alike should mark on their calendars.
The first significant deadline is on July 15 at 4:00 p.m. New York time, marking the end of the window for any clubs that used the Franchise Player designation to secure a multi-year contract or extension for their players. After this, any player can only sign a one-year deal with their current team.
Moving into mid-July, the Chargers will open their preseason training camp for rookies. This camp will start **seven days** before veteran players are required to report, so fans can expect to see some fresh faces on the field soon. The mandatory reporting date for veteran players will vary depending on when their first regular season game is scheduled.
On July 31, the Chargers will participate in the Hall of Fame Game against the Detroit Lions in Canton, Ohio. This matchup will mark the official start of their preseason activities.
As August rolls in, the Chargers will enter their first preseason weekend between August 7 and August 10. Fans should circle August 26 when the roster must be trimmed down to the mandatory 53 players, which is crucial for team management and strategy.
As the season nears its kickoff, there are significant preparation periods like the signing of free agents and managing practice squads that will take place from September to January. The final week of the regular season and all postseason activities will officially begin on January 3 next year, leading up to the exciting Super Bowl LX on February 8.
This season, the Chargers are also seeing changes on their roster, notably the recent signing of outside linebacker Bud Dupree to a contract extension, which adds depth to their defense. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned as the team continues to make decisions that shape its future and its competitiveness in the league.
Clearly, the Chargers are preparing for an exciting 2025 season filled with events and opportunities for both the team and its dedicated supporters. There’s a lot to look forward to as the franchise continues to gear up for what promises to be a thrilling football year.
