Summary
The Los Angeles Chargers creatively released their NFL schedule in Minecraft, joining other teams in video game promotions.
The Chargers' Week 1 match will be against the Kansas City Chiefs, and the team will be battling the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14.
The American football team, the Los Angeles Chargers, have demonstrated their love for video games by promoting its NFL schedule through a Minecraft reveal video. Minecraft is a 2011 sandbox game by Swedish developer Mojang Studios, which offers a procedurally generated 3D world made of voxels for players to extract materials, craft tools and items, and build structures to their hearts’ content.
Minecraft released a snapshot update for May 2025 recently for Java Edition players, featuring fog adjustments to enhance the sandbox’s atmosphere and some notable changes to projectile targeting. Retaining the title of the best-selling game of all time, Mojang’s voxel world celebrates around 170 million monthly active players as of 2025, and the Los Angeles Chargers’ use of the voxel world is a genius move to show the team’s love for creative media.

The team’s opponents, advertisements, scenes of fighting coaches, and a chicken jockey all managed to get a spot in the creative project. The Chargers' Week 1 match will be against the Kansas City Chiefs, and the team will be battling the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14.
Los Angeles Chargers Create NFL Season Schedule in Minecraft
The Los Angeles Chargers aren’t the only team to tap into video games to tell a story, as the Fox Sports crew once used a Fall Guys clip to poke fun at the Atlanta Falcons. Furthermore, the Atlanta Falcons made a Mario Kart parody video to market their 2025 release schedule in tandem with the Chargers, proving how popular the video games community is across the sports sector. The Sleeper Vikings responded to the video on Twitter, calling out the video’s “Best Record Among Wild Card Teams” banner, saying, “You will be hearing from our lawyers,” and other spectators noted the Chargers’ social media team was goated.
Minecraft is without question one of the best open-world games for beginners, joining The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, Grand Theft Auto 5, and Marvel’s Spider-Man, and veterans alike, hosting an endless, creative space for players to build the structures of their dreams and sharpen their survival skills. The voxel world has also undoubtedly become a fantastic marketing environment, not just for sports, but also for music, referring to Minecraft’s long list of virtual concerts.
