65th season in franchise history
The 2024 season is the Los Angeles Chargers ' 55th season in the National Football League (NFL), their 65th overall, their ninth in the Greater Los Angeles Area , their fifth playing their home games at SoFi Stadium , and their first under head coach Jim Harbaugh [ 1] and new general manager Joe Hortiz . The Chargers improved on their 5–12 record from 2023 following a Week 10 victory against the Tennessee Titans . They are looking to return to the playoffs after a one-year absence, but following a Week 14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs , the Chargers were knocked out of AFC West title contention, extending their division title drought to 15 years.
This is the first season since 2012 without wide receiver Keenan Allen on the roster, as he was traded to the Chicago Bears on March 14. This made Joey Bosa and Denzel Perryman the last players that are on the Chargers during their time in San Diego .[ 2]
