The Chargers–Chiefs rivalry is a National Football League (NFL) rivalry between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs.
Since the American Football League (AFL) was established in 1960, the Chargers and the Chiefs have shared the same division, first being the AFL Western Conference, and since the AFL–NFL merger, the American Football Conference (AFC) West. Following the Raiders' move to Las Vegas (Chiefs) and the Rams' return to Los Angeles (Seahawks and 49ers), they are now the farthest apart two teams in the same division. In recent seasons, Kansas City has dominated the rivalry with 18 wins in the last 21 meetings, including eleven straight wins in San Diego/Los Angeles.
Furthermore, the Chiefs are one of four NFL teams with a winning record against every division rival after 100 games played against each of them (along with the Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, and Miami Dolphins). Conversely, the Chargers are one of only three NFL teams with a losing record against every division rival after the same number of games played against each of them (along with the Detroit Lions and New York Jets).
The Chiefs lead the overall series, 71–60–1. The two teams have met once in the playoffs, with the Chargers winning.
