2026 Los Angeles Chargers Strength of Schedule

PFM has the schedule No. 2 with an opponent average of 82.1 and 10 games against current top-10 teams. The road is not difficult from start to finish, but the stretch around Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs leaves little room for an off week.

How PFM Measures Strength of Schedule
Road Ahead averages the current PFM Team Scores of every opponent on the regular-season schedule. Home, away and neutral-site games are tracked for context, but venue does not change the opponent average. PFM is measuring schedule strength, not predicting individual games.
