Los Angeles Chargers Team History

The Los Angeles Chargers organization played its first game in 1960 as a member of the American Football League and from 1961 to 2015 played in San Diego as the Chargers. The team did win one league championship before the AFL and NFL merged in 1970 but have not won any Super Bowls in the modern NFL era.

To their credit, they have won one conference championship, 15 division titles and made 19 playoff appearances. Their most successful season came in 1994, when they made it all the way to the Super Bowl, losing to the San Francisco 49ers. 

The Chargers also dominated the AFC West from 2004 to 2009, winning the division five out of those six years.

After the 2015 season, the organization moved from San Diego to Los Angeles.

The most notable names in franchise history include Dan Fouts, LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates, and Philip Rivers.

Start Betting on the Los Angeles Chargers

While several states are turning the page on a new era of legalized sports gambling in America, it seems that California is still stuck in wait-and-see mode. For now, Chargers fans will have to either wait or make the trip to a state where sports betting is legal like Nevada.

California has existing tribal-state casino agreements that prevent any major changes being made without tribal consent. An additional hurdle is that legal sports betting may require an amendment to the California constitution which takes time and widespread support.
