The National Football League today declared that the Los Angeles Chargers will open the 2022 customary season at SoFi Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 11 against the Las Vegas Raiders, denoting the group’s very first home game against the Raiders on NFL Kickoff Weekend. A rematch of last season’s NFL customary season finale on Sunday Night Football, the divisional conflict will kick at 1:25 p.m. PT and air on CBS.
The Chargers have confronted the Raiders multiple times to open a season — all out and about — winning the last three season-opening matchups. The 2022 opener is the Bolts’ earliest home challenge against the Raiders since the two got down to business in Week 2 of the 1980 season. Los Angeles has played the Raiders multiple times in home openers, brandishing a 3-1 record in those games.
In their latest SoFi Stadium meeting, the Bolts crushed the Raiders 28-14 in a Week 4 Monday Night Football standoff. Features of that game included quarterback Justin Herbert tossing for three scores and running back Austin Ekeler scoring a couple of scores (one surging, one getting), while outside linebacker Joey Bosa had a sack and wellbeing Derwin James had a game-fixing capture in the final quarter.
The rest of the 2022 NFL Schedule will be declared at 5 p.m. PT.
