YouTube will be exclusively streaming the event free of charge on Friday, September 5 at 8pm ET (1am BST).
The two teams last met on December 9, 2024, with the Chiefs defeating the Chargers 19-17 to win a ninth successive AFC West title.
Going further back, Kansas City have won all seven of their last meetings with Los Angeles dating back to 2021.
This trend looks set to continue with the Chiefs going into the contest as 3-point favourites in the latest odds.

However, the “Watch With” feature allows the option to watch the big clash alongside some of YouTube’s top Creators.
