NFL regular-season Week 13 game in which the Los Angeles Chargers visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium.
The Los Angeles Chargers come to Raymond James Stadium on Sunday, December 6, for a Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's a 1 PM ET kickoff, so you've got the whole afternoon ahead of you if you're heading into the stadium early.
The Chargers arrive in Tampa under head coach Jim Harbaugh, coming off back-to-back 11-win seasons and two straight postseason berths. For a team that's been consistently in the mix, this is one of those mid-December games that can start to shape the playoff picture. On the other side, the Buccaneers' 2026 schedule was built around matchups with the second-place teams in the NFC East, NFC West, and AFC West, which landed them home games against both Los Angeles teams—the Chargers and the Rams—and a road trip to Dallas to play the Cowboys. Tampa Bay also faces all four teams in the NFC North and all four in the AFC East, with the rest of the schedule filled by six battles against the other three teams in the NFC South.

If you're not heading to the stadium, the game will be broadcast on CBS and Paramount+. It's a Sunday afternoon game, so you can catch it from your couch if you'd rather stay in. Between the two teams, it's a cross-conference matchup that puts a West Coast offense against a Tampa defense on their own turf, and with the season winding down, every game in December carries a bit more weight. Kickoff is 1 PM ET on Sunday, December 6, at Raymond James Stadium.
