60th season in franchise history
The 2019 season is the Los Angeles Chargers' 50th in the National Football League (NFL), their 60th overall, their fourth in the Greater Los Angeles Area and their third under head coach Anthony Lynn. It will also mark the Chargers' third and final season playing their home games at Dignity Health Sports Park, as the team will move into SoFi Stadium in Inglewood beginning with the 2020 season alongside the Los Angeles Rams. With a 2–5 record after Week 7, the Chargers failed to match or improve on their 12–4 record from 2018.
After a Week 13 loss to the Denver Broncos, the Chargers suffered their first non-winning season since 2016, their last season in San Diego before moving back to Los Angeles.
Uniform change
On April 16, the Chargers announced that the powder blue jerseys that served as the alternate colored jersey will become the primary home colored jerseys, replacing the navy blue jerseys that served as the primary home colored jersey since the team's 2007 uniform overhaul.[1][2] On September 2, the Chargers announced their uniform schedule for the 2019 season.[3]
