The Los Angeles Chargers bye is Week 7 — Sunday, October 25, 2026.
Their last game before the bye is Week 6 on October 18 (at Kansas City Chiefs), and they return in Week 8 on November 1 (at Los Angeles Rams). For fantasy managers: plan your roster around Week 7 — every Los Angeles Chargers player is off that week, so line up replacements at the positions you lean on before your waiver rivals do.
