The Los Angeles Chargers have a major test in Week 1 as they face the Kansas City Chiefs . The Jim Harbaugh-led Chargers will square off with the defending AFC Champions on neutral ground in São Paulo, Brazil.

Los Angeles went 11-6 in their first season under Harbaugh, but fell to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round. This year, the roster has been tailored to the head coach's liking, with two potential franchise running backs in Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris.

They also brought back Keenan Allen, giving them a trusted wide receiver to partner with Ladd McConkey. Even with these moves, they're still looking up at Kansas City, but could make a statement by securing a win in Week 1.

It's a huge opportunity for them and will be seen on a grand stage, but when exactly will the game be aired in the U.S.?
