Chargers Sit Top 10 Among Travel Miles For 2022 Season

The Chargers will be no stranger to enduring long road trips for the 2022 NFL season.

The Chargers will be a team racking up their frequent flyer miles over the 2022 NFL season.

While the official schedule release will be revealed on Thursday, the Chargers' 2022 opponents have been set in stone since the conclusion of last year's regular season.

The Chargers will travel 23,266 miles for the upcoming season, marking the seventh-most in the NFL. Their travel will also feature 30 time zones in which they'll encounter, tied for the third-most this season.

With the full NFL schedule being released Thursday night, here is a look at the teams that will travel the most miles and the most time zones this season, via @billsperos.

The Chargers are not among the teams involved in the league's five international games, including showdowns in London, Germany and Mexico. In fact, there's only one team – the Dolphins – who will rack up more travel miles than the Chargers and are not scheduled to play in the 2022 International Series.

The Chargers will host eight home games and nine road games. In addition to their standard six AFC West matchups, the Chargers will play the NFC West and AFC South this season. They'll also have bouts with the Dolphins, Browns and Falcons.
